JimRJan 12, 2006This is a fantastic album by an underrated band. It is a worthy successor to Dusk At Cubist Castle. Black Foliage has great pop tunes and the experimental music is good. The Olivia Tremor Control is better than Neutral Milk Hotel in my opinion

Sep 6, 2011The point at which pretentious avant-garde nonsense and brilliant, brooding psychedelic pop combine to form an album that teeters on the precipice between pure perfection and pure annoyance.
Awards & Rankings
-
The Georgia collective's second album is pop at its most playful and the avant-garde at its cuddliest -- a four-act, twenty-seven-song fantasy trip in which structure and chaos keep leapfrogging each other.
-
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.
-
Time will tell, but Black Foliage has all the marks of a major pop masterpiece -- brilliant tunes, innovative arrangements, clever lyrics, a thoroughly adventurous spirit, and a musical depth that always reveals something new on repeated listenings.
