There is much more happening here than what is found in their previous albums and that is definitely a good thing. Kelis FoodI'm digging this so much that I may even write a legit review for it. I *might*.Minus the Bear Infinity OverheadProtest the Hero FortressThe Fall of Troy Phantom on the HorizonThe Knife Tomorrow, In a YearI want to explain that the number rating I have given this album is only the average over the two or so years since I first listened to it. I was already a big fan of Olof and Karin well before this album was released and in retrospect I feel like my mind wasn't entirely open to the idea of this existing outside of its visual counterpart. I loved the concept but as soon as I started listening for the first time I couldn't help but feel as if that visual component was missing in the most hindering of ways... But a year or so later is when I would prove myself entirely correct. What I had wrong, however, was where these visuals had to come from. This is an album -- and I *very* rarely make this connection in any significant way -- that benefits greatly from the consumption of psychedelic hallucinogens. Sure in most people partial to those activities in the first place they almost always make music "better," but this is one of the rare occasions in my life (so far, at least) that sitting in a dark room, cuddling up with Lucy, putting on a pair solid headphones and closing my eyes was accompanied not by frenzied thoughts but by the absurd visual component I felt this album needed most. Normally this is nothing I would care to mention in a music review and perhaps I am not conveying my experience in an illuminating enough way, but there is something about imagining one of the most important breakthroughs in human understanding illustrated before you with only your imagination accompanied by The Knife's music that I simply cannot seem to recreate any other way.
