of Montreal Album: “Sunlandic Twins [Bonus Tracks]”

okay, I'm sure my review will hold no water/weight/whatever here, but this is probably the most fantastic album of 2005 and certainly my favorite of Of Montreal's. it has been literally stuck in my head/ears/cd player for over a month, and that's just special.

pee.ess. it makes me dance and I HATE DANCING... therefore if an album can make me enjoy dancing, it MUST be good.

I would absolutely reccomend such a brilliant masterpiece of an album. The first of the band's albums I've listened to all the way through and fell in love with. To this day it is still my favorite album. It mixes the pshychadelic feel of the 60's with the feel good dance beats in the 70's and incorporates many 80's new wave synths in such a brilliant way all wrapped in a very modern hip innovative sound. All aspects are wonderful. The lyrics are so catchy and thoughtful and just a joy to hear. I would strongly urge you to buy this album now! Disregard the reviews on here putting the album down because THE ALBUM ROCKS.

No more explaining and reading reviews go and purchase it and see for yourself...you will fall in love!

Wraith Pinned to the Myst and What the hey who? where? That's Of Montreal, man, you never know what's going to happen. From song titles to chord changes to lyrical twists, this record will keep you on your toes and on the edge of your seat. You'll literally be balancing on your toes on the edge of your seat. Careful.

There's this beautiful energy on this album where it feels like the whole band is riding around on a fast motion kiddie-train. They have the friendly humour of The Kinks, the magical playground of Syd Barrett, the lyrical and melodical smiles of School for the Dead, the sound-scapes of Apples In Stereo, and the Beulah of Elf Power.

Have you seen the video for Wraith etc etc? Man, put on your headphones and close your eyes hard enough and you will.

I will keep short and sweet. This is their best album to date. It'll be hard to beat.

These guys must have had a lot of fun putting this album together and I can only wish I had been a fly on the wall during the recording sessions. All the songs are delightfully and originally arranged with twisted lyris cleaverly intertwined through infectious melodies. Listening to The Sunlandic Twins is a little bit like sitting in the middle of a giant revolving 360-degree kaleidoscope with new colors and new shapes jumping at you relentlessly to leave you dazed and smiling...
