Album Notes & Community Reviews
Completely abandoning conventional song structures, the notoriously provocative New York ensemble reached their absolute peak of experimental eccentricity on this wildly ambitious project. The sprawling, highly satirical release utilizes bizarre tape loops, massive choral interludes, and fiercely anti-establishment comedy to violently skewer 1960s American culture.
