Why I Am So Wise, Why I Am So Clever, And Why I Write Such Good Songs...

by Dr. Zoltan Øbelisk

supported by

a very bad guy! (he is bad) Coming back to this album after not hearing it for over a decade... this whole thing is absolutely nuts. "Why I Am So Wise" is a prime example, great variation in terms of a structure that is compelling and simultaneously near-impossible to follow at first, good use of dynamics in terms of tempo, and just so much fun to let it wash over my ears. I imagine Carl and Lalle were both cool as cucumbers playing all of this stuff, which is truly the incredible part. Favorite track: Upptäckten Av Ancient Alien Obviation Ruler Kit.
