I didn't like it at first either, but I listened to it on a 12 hour plane flight in and out of sleep, and it produced some of the most amazing hallucinations ever. I now love it.

atsonicpark 07.30.2008 01:06 PM

Haha I was on a comp with child pornography. Cool people.

Uh... I heard an album today called "pulling a dead deer up a hill" or something.
