    Well, the description kind of got my hopes up (not the Pitchfork one, which I just read now), and I was disappointed. There's nothing really wrong with the music, I just didn't latch on to anything, even after having it in my car for a couple days. For me, musically, the album was just kind of "there". I never got immersed in it, and I often found myself just kind of dazing off, something I don't usually do with music in the car unless I have a passenger.

    I wanted to like this- it sounded like something I would like, but I just couldn't get into it. Sorry, alobar.

    I liked the record alot. It sounded to me like a mix between OK Computer (as you pointed out) and the Apples in Stereo for some reason. The first track was my favorite. I love that robotic voice. I didn't care for a few songs, namely Jed the Humanoid.

    I've been meaning to check out Grandaddy anyways, so this was a great introduction.

    I'll give it an 8.5 out of 10.
