It's a fantastic sounding album. I never feel like any of the instruments get muddled or lost. The songs are lean, too, which is something I enjoy. Songs that go on too long are a problem I have with a few of his later works...although nothing too bad. That said...I still prefer
Doc at the Radar Station to
Decals.
Also, if you're into bootlegs, there is a high quality instrumental version of all the
Lick My Decals Off, Baby album floating around. It's very cool, although perhaps only a novelty given how important Don's voice is to his songs.

I'll just have to keep trying to get into it because I'm sure after I familiarize myself with it more I'll 'get it'.

If it's not your cup of tea, you could try his later albums that follow in the same experimental styling, such as
Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) or
Doc at the Radar Station.
