I've seen this on several "Best of 2009" lists and I've come to the conclusion that most are composed by a much younger demographic than I'm in, and thereby, the authors consume far more hallucinogenics than most normal humans. The FL have a 25-year history and certainly a following, as evidenced by this album reaching #8 on Billboard's Top 200. It's just too far out there for me, highly distorted and disconnected, but not a total loss. I peeled about five tracks from it, hearing a little My Morning Jacket on one tune and some FrankieGTH on another, and loads of pre-Dark Side... Pink Floyd on the rest. I've just learned that they've covered the entire Dark Side of the Moon, and I must investigate!
