TYongOct 18, 2002Yup, it's a grower alright, will hit you after about the 5th time. The best of Montreal album to date. my ratings is 9.5/10

At times, it's clever and/or charming ("Penelope," "Mimi Merlot"), but almost always tedious.

Layering his idiosyncratic songs with elements of classical, jazz, Broadway and Disney movie scores, Barnes elevates Coquelicot Asleep in the Poppies into the pantheon of seminal new pop masterpieces that test our very concepts of what modern pop should sound like.

Coquelicot, like most Of Montreal albums, is at times sublime and lovely, at times infuriatingly catchy, at times simply infuriating, at times overly twee, and at times seriously fucking scary. What sets this record apart from its predecessors, though, is a level of intricacy and detail that Of Montreal have never previously attained as a band.
