Oct 17, 2010I'm glad this was finally released. It's great music, and I love Danger Mouse producing it. His stuff is always good, and this is definitely one of the better albums this year. Many of the songs have found their way onto my playlists, and that won't change for awhile.

KoryM.Jun 30, 2009Simply, one of the greatest albums I have ever heard. It will be a d@mn shame if this piece of art never sees the light of day. NPR has had a stream up for at least a month...listen while you can.

Aug 30, 2010Pretty solid indie album with guest appearances from Flaming Lips, Julian Casablancas, Iggy pop and others. Particularly like the "Everytime I'm With You" track, as well as "The Man Who Played God", featuring Suzanne Vega. Recommended!

For the most part, it sounds like the most joyous exploration of death and madness since, perhaps, "They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha-Haaa!"
-
It's the airtight beats of Danger Mouse and the surreal songwriting of Linkous that make this a fascinating set.
-
It's a complex, winding late-night soundtrack that doesn't move too fast, but never stops to question the judgement of its own unique outsider logic.
