Sorry for the late review, been fairly busy recently

Anyways, duga sent me...

Of Montreal-The Sunlandic Twins

First time listening to this band, and I'd have to say that on the first two listens, this album is pretty hit or miss for me, which is slightly disappointing because I had heard really good things about this band. Maybe my expectations were just too high, but it wasn't an album that blew me away immediately. I think it could be a grower, though.

As far as what the album sounds like, it's basically indie-pop (hell, screw basically, it is indie-pop). Most of the songs are short, and when the album does hit it's very sweet. Once again though, just felt inconsistent to me and there was never really a point where I was able to really connect with it. Favorite tracks so far though would either be Requiem for O.M.M.2 or else So Begins Our Alabee.

So far I'd give it about a 6.5/10, but I'm hoping it's one of those albums that will blossom over time. Thanks duga!
