"One reason record reviews exist is to help people make purchasing decisions. I tell you a new album is great, you buy it, you dig it, you say, "What should I buy next?" Well, buy Black Foliage next-- you'll love it. You'll get insanely catchy '60s- inspired pop music in addition to sound collages, field recordings, drony ambience, cathartic noise, and outlandish production that makes Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" look like a cubicle divider. You'll get an exceedingly long album that's high on concept and low on tedium. You'll get a lot for your $15. So buy it, already! It really is a fine, fine piece of work-- better even than the band's strong debut, Dusk At Cubist Castle. Trust me."

I recently picked this up again. I love this band. If these guys and the rest of the Elephant 6 group would have been around in 60's, they would have been just as big as The Beatles.
