Acquired this album in France last week. I was pleasantly surprised at how original most of the songs on here are. I had never heard of the artist Dionysos before, I had just heard "Song for Jedi" at a friends house and then got the album. Although there are very few lyrics in most of the songs (lots of repetition), the sound just.... works.

If you don't know french you might be missing something here. Half of the songs are in english, but the lead singer's accent is painful to the ears. I actually wish it was all in French.

If you can find it for a decent price, get it.

This is a great album. I picked it up in France after falling in love with the album's big hit, "Song For Jedi." These guys do love the Pixies, but they're also remarkably original, and the extremely strong accents when they're singing in English is something you'll either love or hate. Their nonsense lyrics are charming. I've been listening to this for a while and have yet to grow tired of it. "I love you, so come to me and take off your clothes!"

A great Albini-pop album. My brother bought it in France, (Hi Drew!) and it sounds great. They love the Pixies even more than you do. But they're more than just a Pixie nostalgia band. They have a jam with a banjo, for crissake's. There are constantly astonishing moments. John McEnroe's Poetry is a classic novelty song. Maybe Steve Albini's best production job to date--it's very creative. AIDs.
