    It might as well have made my ears bleed. Worst music I've heard this other other than Wavves. I'm starting to think that Metacritic 's weighting leans heavily on Pitchfork. That is too bad because Pitchfork just tries to be edgy and provocative and doesn't consider what people want to listen to.

    "your cologne is sweetly fragrant" or "you quenched me like gatorade".......Yuck!

    Mediocrity deconstructed. Big whoop.

    Not only will you hum snatches, you'll parse lyrical bits, too: a basement-dwelling twentysomething high on Gatorade in an underpopulated housing development, a waitressing job for Solange Knowles.

    Clever, original, complicated, sometimes frustrating but more often revelatory, it will, given time, uncover its manifold delights.

    Their seventh album remembers to add tunes, and is thus less baffling than before.
