Wow what an album this one is. If you can imagine a cross between Les Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade and Frank Zappa, this would be it. I would almost call this Jazz Fusion at the end of the day, and nearly all the tracks, except for track 11, are instrumental. It also has some symphonic properties to it, with some crazy Accordion sounds as well they throw in to make it even more unique. Certainly has that weirdness to it, which both those artists posses and was not too bad overall. I liked tracks 5, 10, and 12 the most.
