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

As much as Hissing Fauna was really great, I got bored of it pretty quickly. After the first impression, it just got old quickly. I'm not saying it's not good. It is still really great. But I just loved Skeletal Lamping. It's practically a perfect Of Montreal album. It was a discovery every listen. I thought it was genius.
As for Aldhils Arboretum, I didn't quite like it like the others. I often see it as a transition album. Transition between their Beatles-like pop and their more electro-pop from Satanic Panic In The Attic, but that they perfected on The Sunlandic Twins.

I CONCUR
Aldhils Arboretum is a pretty good album but seems to falter in comparison to the rest of their catalog, mainly because it's so straightforward and normal.
I like it a whole bunch but I can see why it never gets talked about. Personally I think it's worth it for "Kid Without Claws", what a goddamn tune.

I'm really disappointed no one has said anything about Coquelicot In the Poppies besides the mention of "Let's Do Everything For the First Time Forever."
Guys, Coquelicot in the Poppies is a brilliant album. Also, Cherry Peel is great. "Tim I Wish You Were Born A Girl" always makes me laugh.
I think I couldn't get into Hissing Fauna and Skeletal Lamping as much as their earlier work because of the movement towards electro or disco-esque arrangements. I don't find that stuff nearly as entertaining as twinkly, joyful psychedelic pop tunes.
