Okay, i had to think of this CD when i read the thread about Songs For The Deaf. Josh Homme has said (they were his openingband during a part of the QUOTSA-tour) this is the best band in the world, and he plans to record the next Desert Sessions-cd with them...
So who's heard of them? (probably no one outside of belgium ;-)) Now this is one great rockalbum! It kicks songs for the deaf's ass imo ;-)
The songs are mostly loud and verry messy. At first i didn't know what to make of it. It's like a jamsession between musicians that's gotten out of hand or something.... but after listening to it many times i feel the exact opposite: these are 12 of the best popsongs i've heard in a long time! Totally original and unique, very catchy and perfectly and carefully constructed (it's really not messy at all :-) Just a sort of organised chaos... but you need to hear it many times to recognise it).
"Come with you" sounds like a distorted Prince-song during the verses... and the chorus is just pure insanity with distorted and very high-pitched vocals and a horrormovie-ish part that sounds almost like Marilyn Manson (all within one song).
And then immediately after that the next song on the album is called "She's a doll", a sweet little song that has a chorus that could have been written by Air.
And those are only 2 songs :-) I haven't even mentioned "Her Gender" which has some parts that sound like your cd-player is skipping, or "Flame me up", that has the same weird bouncy sound as that Bastian-track (with the t-shirt-videoclip!).
You've got to hear it to believe it.
Ohw... lol, now i've written a sort of review ;-) I was just planning to ask in anyone else knows (and loves) this band? There has to be someone on this board... right?

yeah sure, i could just ask: Does anyone else here know the album "Outside the Simian Flock" by Millionaire?
But since no-one probably does, someone surely would have asked: "no, what does it sound like?". And i already anticipated that and tried to describe it in my previous post :-p
