Listening to 'The Bedlam in Goliath' right now and I think I like it. It's quite busy. I mean 'busy' as a compliment, btw.
Before now, I never picked up too much on their stuff- I think my first inkling of these guys was goofing on their caveman-like appearance and when I saw them performing a couple of things off of 'Amputechture' last year on the Henry Rollins show.
I get the impression that there is some clarinet free jazz in the first track Aberinkula.
I will be honest and admit I have no fucking clue what the thematic angle of any of this is.
