PP is not without its moments of dramatic indie pretensions, but all in all it is a curiously satisfying disc which puts pianistic flights of fancy over guitar histrionics for unique, if not entirely compelling results.

awesome CD. hard to describe. the music is kind of progressive rock but not in a desperate way. a little like amnesiac and hail to the thief Radiohead. no electronic drums though. but those kinds of chord progressions. very interesting songs. very good songs. very smooth production but in a different way than i've heard before. warm. this is the first time i've heard 90 day men so i don't know how to compare it to their other CD's but it made me buy two of their other Cd's.

90 Day Men have produced a beautiful and original album here that is a brew of melody, dissonance and an orchestral complexity. BTW, it also rocks! This is a great album. Do yourself a favor and get it.

This album makes me think of that part in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, where the protagonist (I don't remember his name) departs to "Beyond the Infinite". It's kind of a cool scene, no going back.
90 Day Men used to be pretty easily definable, and the people clinging to those delineations, like the person below, are going to be particularly upset by this record, and ultimately hate 90 Day Men for creating Panda Park. It's all about transcending labels and whatnot, and that's exactly what this record does.
You hear a little bit of everything which sounds vaguely familiar, though not in an over-the-top way, making the whole different from anything you've heard. It has a decidedly "classic rock" feel in parts. I particularly like the texture of the record, the tones and the vocals, strangely, which have always annoyed me on other 90 Day Men records. Most of the other 90 Day LPs have come across as overwhelmingly pretentious, and in enacting the most pretentious move of all, they seem to have transcended even themselves. And that, I think, is a pretty rad thing.
Pick this record up if you're bored with the current state of music.

I have been a fan for a few years. This album blows much ass. Who died and left the keyboardist the song writer. I am a huge fan of every album before, but this one is like morissey a b**ch. 90 days guitarist style was the perfect accent to Rob's (bassist) howl and the drums were perfect. The album needs the keys to be electric like thier live shows. See them live if you can. Silver and Snow is the worst song in thier catalog besides that bear song on "to everybody". Andy is tone deaf and the lyrics are more primadonna than say.....Madonna. Me and my friends listen to that song to laugh, or clear a room. Check out thier previous two albums, they are amongst the best out there, but don't start here.
