Critical reception


The Dallas Observer wrote: "It's a challenging piece of work, but a rewarding one: Once you get past their peculiar handling, the songs are among the most accessible the band has released, and after a few plays, even the most difficult sections reveal a wealth of structure and detail."[9] The Stranger wrote that "for the uninitiated, it'll leave you completely befuddled."[7] CMJ New Music Report called the album "a long, strange, headphone trip worth taking."[11]


Track listing


No.TitleLength
1."George III"1:50
2."Bad Medicine"3:30

4."There There Betty Betty"2:29

7."A Sow With an Abbess's Bonnet Is Sitting on Four Rock-Objects and Singing Along With Them. The Song Sounds Like a Cheater, And Is Imprisoned in a Striped Toy Box Because Its Aims Are Not Recognizable. On Top of the Box Is a Head That Could Be Elvis's, If He Had Survived This"5:48
8."Mother"2:16
