I love the subtle (and not so subtle) Bowie references (the tinkling piano via "Aladdin Sane"), and the guitar on the last track is such a rip/homage to Neil Young's "Down by the River." There's something really haunting about all of it, too. I've tried to play it for a few people, and they all hate it. I added "Rubies" to my wife's workout playlist and she told to delete immediately. Still, I'm sure I'll listen to it again on the way home today.

I'll try it again, but just know...i'm doing it for you. man, i try _so_ hard, because so many people whose musical opinions i hold in high regards like destroyer so much, like this album so much, but i listened to it and wanted to take it out and jump on it, maybe throw it at an airplane.
