"Birthday Cake" also gets into that "instrument violation" range but then it has other songs top balance it out. "Know Your Chicken" is also weird and out there but it doesn't sound like they were trying to hurt their instruments. The thing that bothered me about TVU+N is that it felt like there was no balance to it, they just kept going all the way every time. There really isn't anything likable in the album, it just comes off as pretentious bullshit. It feels like it exists only as an excuse for somebody to say "oh, you just don't understand art because you're not sophisticated enough." Not that anyone said that, but that's exactly what I felt even as I was listening to it, and having that Andy Warhol cover art sure doesn't help alleviate that sense. The truth is, as far as experimentation goes, they really seemed to have very few tricks up their sleeves and over-relied on the most basic and most grating of them. --- "If you ever feel good about yourself, just look on the Internet." - Ryan Reynolds ...
