Of Montreal

<< < (7/10) > >>

Scandanavian War Machine:
it's all about The Gay Parade and Hissing Fauna. i like to pretend that those are the only Of Montreal albums that exist because they are good enough just by themselves.


also, if anyone here is a fan of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and Of Montreal, watch this.

Bayley:
...Skeletal Lamping is my favorite Of Montreal album. Hands down. It assaults people with its sexuality bending, which I find hilarious. active audience perversion through monstrously catchy tunes. barnes is ballsy, man. if they were mainstream popular, i guarantee he would be demonized by christian mothers everywhere. I like to put on track three and watch people squirm. at first they don't know how to feel, but a day later i can hear them humming to themself "we can do it softcore if you want..."

and of course, "wicked wisdom". he portrays himself as a manipulator-abuser-lover, but somehow sympathetically. his perspective remind me of nabokov characters.

if you guys were paying attention to the lyrics, especially as compared to past albums, i don't see how you could dismiss it so easily.

Yossarian:
Although I'm also one of those who reckon Gay Parade, Satanic Panic in the Attic and Hissing Fauna... to be Of Montreal's greatest achievements to date, I think that Skeletal Lamping went a bit underrated last year. The catchy-as-hell melodies, the hilarity and all that is there, too - but a little buried under the KB's experimentalism. IMHO on stage, these songs fare much better and here is a link to prove it:

Scandanavian War Machine:
yeah, i love Skeletal Lamping too, but it just can't compare to The Gay Parade or Hissing Fauna for me.


it's just...i dunno...too much, ya know? i'm not sure how to explain it other than that.

pwhodges:
How odd - no-one's mentioned Aldhils Arboretum.  That's my favourite.
