Well, I've listened to it properly nearly 3 times (in a row) today. Cheers Stu!
Sorry Caps... but I'm finding this album hugely enjoyable right now! I've certainly never heard anything quite like it. I don't really agree anymore that it's just silly noodling about now that I actually have listened to it properly (whereas before I'd just heard bits and bobs here and there), it's more a controlled chaos sort of thing. It sounds like it's just random madness, but like Stu pointed out to me, all the separate instruments are doing their own proper thing, but because at some points they're all doing different things, it sounds like madness. But it really is quite clever - well maybe not 'clever', but I don't what other word to use, I'm not trying to pomp this up to make it sound more than it is or anything - when you listen out for the instruments individually and can hear what they're doing. It's very interesting. And the more I've listened to it, the more it's started to make me feel really great and fun. It's not all that kind of madness anyway, there are some really good bits of music in between the madness that keep you going. And there are some really genuinely funny bits in there too! Bulbous indeed.

Thank you Jon. That's precisely it. I promise you, the more you listen to it, the more you'll hear little bits. The lyrics are always a charm to listen to.
"What do you run on Rocket Morton?" "Say beans"
"Beans. I run on beans"
Also listen out for the random 'Ela Guru's' that the captain says through out that song. It's hard to heard them without headphones.

I'm not arguing this anymore. We're just going to keep clashing. Some people think TGI Fridays is gourmet grub because it ain't McDonalds...

Well I can see there's at least something we probably do agree on. Bunch of greedy cunts!

It's besides the point. It's not gourmet. It's tasty but it's not that tasty.
EDIT: Obviously I am speaking in generalities here. Anything with beef on is not going to get me going

Do you mean you know people who actually think its gourmet food? I thought you were just exaggerating.
