I'm surprised that this band lasted in any form for more than 2 or 3 albums. They have gone beyond their total clown image. All of their stuff comes out sounding the same: you are relieved when it's over and you have silence. Obnoxious, annoying, loud, brain-mushing. Les Claypool should go and stay in his own world and stop polluting the air around us with his aural diarhea. This album is criminally awful.
