Dyly:
The best the best the best

Anyone else into them?

Mr. Grieves:
Skeletal Lamping was God awful, but most of the other stuff was pretty good.

Also this may sound trivial but I really hate the name of their songs, they're so overwrought and pretentious. I mean don't ever try to recommend a song of theirs to anyone, or this will happen:

Them: Hey you heard Islands new album?
You: Yeah! What's your favorite track?
Them: Oh, obviously Abominable Snow, duh!
You: Oh if you like that track you may like this band called Of Montreal
Them: Oh really what's a good song by them?
You: Um, Let's Do Everything for the First Time Forever is good but the whole Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? album is really great
Them: ... I don't think we should be friends anymore.

michaelicious:
That person probably wasn't worth being friends with anyway.

I'm not really sure what the general consensus about Of Montreal is on this forum. I don't think there is one. Some people like them a lot, some people liked them better when they just played covers of lesser known Beatles songs, and some people think Kevin Barnes is a bit of a wank, I would reckon.

Ha Skeletal Lamping DID suck

I like most of there song titles. There sometimes funny and they are really out there. Like Chrissy Kissed The Corpse and The Party Is Crashing us.

Islands is amazing. I didn't really like Arm's Way that much though.

IronOxide:
You see, the thing about Skeletal Lamping is, it wasn't a godawful album, the tunes were good, catchy as ever, but it lacked the good flow we come to expect from Of Montreal, because Kevin Barnes is kind of insane. It was an experiment, it didn't work, we got some alright tracks out of it, but not a great album.
