With Quadropus, Estradasphere decided to deconstruct their sound. Rather than meld genres, as on past releases, each track on Quadropus represents one aspect of the band's eclectic musical palette. There is jazz ("Hardball,") surf ("Crystal Blue,") metal ("Jungle Warfare,") acapella ("Dubway,") experimental ("A Car Ride in Idealistic Ethiopia (Part 1)"), parody rock ("Bodyslam"), and more. This results in the most uneven Estradasphere record, but one that is nonetheless just as fun as their previous work. Metal is still the band's weak link, though.
