Satanic Panic in the Attic (Of Montreal)

Ambitious lo-fi pop does often stumble on clunky experimentation displaying cleverness simply for its own sake, but when not self-consciously pleasing indie fans, pleasantly channels low-grade, Beatles-esque sentiment with modern swagger that feel neither forced nor phony.

um.. i dont realy know what to say sense i purchased this for my girl friend all i know is that she is pretty happy really likes!

Of Montreal are still quirky here. Unlike future albums, there's still a lot of guitar here. However, songs like "Disconnect the Dots" would foreshadow what albums like "Hissing Fauna..." would bring.

This was my introduction to Of Montreal, and I haven't turned back. This album was perfect because it was fun (often morbidly so), eccentric, bizarre, beautiful, and stimulating. Of Montreal ahs created so many new sounds and its almost as if "Satanic Panic" is a sampler of their flavours.

Awesome record. My favourite songs are "Ladder", "Rapture Rapes the Muses", "Vegan in Furs", and, of course, that opening riff to "Disconnect the Dots."

I'm so grateful I found this band. This CD will be a wonderful and welcome listen for people who, like me, have gotten sick of how homogenous everything sounds. I don't know if I'm just old, or if I don't do enough listening or concert attending, but everything I do hear sounds kind of the same. This CD is a tremendous breath of fresh air. The writing, the musicianship, the humor, the originality, its just one of the most inspiring and overall delicious albums my ears have ever tasted. I'll probably go about acquiring their entire catalog now! If the music you hear is starting to bore you, BUY THIS NOW!

Unfortunately, I just recently got into this band. They are effing incredible; every song on this particular album is SO GOOD. There isn't one track that really lags behind.

Oh, and the singer does a LOT of drugs. I think every song has some sort of acid reference. For all of you psychedelics fans, you'll find these songs to be really funny at times :)

I listen to an insane amount of new music each week, and this band is putting me behind because there simply aren't enough hours in the day to hear anybody else!
