Stephen Malkmus & The JicksReal Emotional Trash MatadorMarch 4, 2008I'll say it, I was skeptical OK! But I can admit to my errors in judgement! With a 1970's amped electric guitar sound and echoes of Black Sabbath and The Doors creeping in, this album is not for easy listening. But is indeed for listening! So what I mean is don't put in on and take a serene bath, instead put it on and swig on some jack! It's a long album with lengthy jam sessions, some might say self-indulgent jam sessions, but why not be self-indulgent when you are a talented musical genius? Definitely worth a listen even if you don't like an older sound or extended jamming; this might just change your mind. - Morning Lemon Highlights / Baltimore
