oh you guys. Why can't we all wank over great 2013 albums like the 20/20 Experience and Flowers for my Father rather than this over produced train wreck?

You're just pretending to not like it to appear cool and rebellious.

I wish I could like this Janzgoon, but I just can't. It's hideous.

Wait... Are we both being sarcastic or just me?

You wish you could understand it like we hipsters do.

Heartbeats is a single. A Cherry On Top is an album track that only makes sense in the context of the album.

Oh **** I'm a hipster.

Dug Habitual a fair amount after two spins or so: oddly enough, I'm reminded a fair amount of Allan Holdsworth despite the drone influences. Won't displace Rundgren's latest album or Force Majeure from Brother Ape in the electronic music department as far as 2013 goes, but there's a lot to like here nevertheless. :beer:

I thought it was interesting, definitely a grower. Some of the songs are so complex it takes you a few listens to compute what you've just heard. On the 19 minute epic though, it really tested my patience, seemed somewhat pointless. Artistically a bold and brave statement, but when contrasted with the ridiculously action packed singles it seems oddly out of place. Makes the skip button very enticing... Apart from that I'll be listening to it a lot in the near future.

4/5

I loved this album. Favourite of the year so far.

That is all.

All of it?

Well, I enjoyed Fracking Fluid Injection and Old Dreams, but I've removed them for casual listening, because I find the album flows better without them cleaving it into pieces. The hour-and-ten-minute version is more practical for my tastes and listening practices, but I don't think these tracks are inherently bad.
