  This is the album where Deerhoof fully figure out how to turn their weirdness into something oddly addictive. “Milk Man,” “Giga Dance,” and “Rainbow Silhouette of the Milky Rain” are packed with jagged guitar lines, abrupt structural changes, and melodies that somehow stick immediately anyway. Greg Saunier’s drumming is especially crucial — hyperactive and unpredictable, but so precise that the songs never collapse under their own complexity. The album feels handmade in the best sense, full of rough edges and sudden left turns that become part of its charm. There’s real emotional warmth underneath the noise and absurdity. Few experimental rock albums are this fun to listen to repeatedly.
