it's way better then nimrod, but at the same time kinda wierd in that it's got a recurring theme going on throught the entire album.
It's billed as a rock opera, and it really can be way more appreciated listening beginning to end, than if u just mix it up or listen to a couple of tracks.
I've had it going continuously for the past 3 days, virtually the only album i'm listening to right now, and i still pick out little things that i didn't hear before.
example, St. Jimmi, in addition to having his own song, appears in like 3 or 4 other cuts in one liners. Whatsername gets two songs actually, but only one of them is titled whatsername.
to get it, you really gotta listen to the words. This album is about a journey, and you gotta follow the arc completely
