It grows on you. It's wonderfully weird. I wish Mitchell made more of these thingies. Don't look at the average rating, look at the spread. You either love it or hate it.

Imbalanced dopamine activity can cause brain dysfunction and disease, and is linked, at least theoretically, to a host of conditions---in this case art imitates life on "Dopamine." Mitchell Froom, although better know as a prolific producer and sometimes session player, crafted quite a collection of tunes on his first CD release.
An array of guests (no point running them down here because, for the most part, what you hear here is not what you would expect from most folks in this crew) take the spotlight on each track---some sing, some play guitar, some play other instruments. The results cry out for adjectives: loopy, eccentric, tribal, bizarre, funny, and disturbing . Songs zigzag from one extreme to the other, threaten to melt speaker coils, or lull one into a false sense of security. It's as though Mr. Froom has chosen to unleash some suppressed forces that he keeps in check during his typically well-mannered and orderly productions for others. Clearly this CD is not for everyone and depending on one's mood and setting, possibly for no one. But it's only rock `n roll, sort of, and I like it.

Each track stands on it's own.,

This review is from: Dopamine (Audio CD)
This album should be looked at as collection of tracks that would be best listened to by their lonesome than as a pack, which is a problem because the majority of the record buying public likes to hear an artist's album that flows in some sort of manner. I found that by throwing these songs in a mixtape that they wonderfully contrasted the other material, and at times turned out to be among the favorite songs for my friends.
I can agree that others may find this music messy and/or uninspired if taken in as a whole (even though the thing is only like a half hour), but try to peep them as singles and hopefully you'll dig it more.
