I can't believe you just reproduced the comments they put on the cover.. I mean, like those ever tell you anything!
I have no idea what this is, btw. what is it? :)

well, since you don't trust my opinion, i thought, i'd post those comments.
i guess it's rock music, can't think of any band quite like this...perhaps a bit like my bloody valentine but way more upbeat, and not so melancholic.
check song called "giga dance", wicked organ part in that song...sounds so dark and funky at the same tume. excellent!

yes this album is awesome... satomi's voice takes a while to get used to... but deerhoof is definitely one of the most "worth-it" bands in rock for me... in the last three years they have put out three stellar albums... check Reveille if you haven't...

i've spoke praises of this band several times... people usually don't listen (par for the course)...
as far as bands like deerhoof go... well i can't really think of one that really sounds that close to what they are doing but... well:
Blonde Redhead has a similar melodic sensibility with a bit less punch and quirk... still good though
Broadcast is another band with a great combination of a retro aesthetic with something simultaneously very new sounding...
Black Dice is nice and fucked up... check recommendations in the crazie rocke threade... there's a lot of cool bands mentioned in that thread... all with a mind for awesomeness somewhat outside the "rock box" so to speak... read up on them before you check them though, because they are all very different...

Okeydokes, I've listened to it once through and it's great. It reminds me of Add n to X, Pixies, Max Tundra, Killdozer, Tortoise, and engrish.com to name a few.
You should consider joining eMusic - they have all that 5 Rue Christine / Kill Rock Stars stuff, Matador, Mille Plateaux, etc etc - lots of indie and electronic labels. They're starting to get some 12k and Thrill Jockey in now too. Everything's encoded as Lame --alt-preset standard (VBR MP3s). I'm filling out my collection without going broke OR ripping off small deserving labels.

that makes them quite unique, which is great...i mean all those styles mixed together...
as for emusic-this is similar thing to bleep? i kind of prefer to buy actual records...there's a very small chance i'd listen to an album that i'd have only in mp3's more than twice :) im like that, see :)

Kind of like bleep but much cheaper - $20 USD a month for 90 songs, so about 22 cents a song. You can also buy "booster packs" if you max out your downloads before the month is over.
I think it's just about the only music service that gets it right - I don't know of any others offering high quality un-copy-protected files for that price. And their catalog is awesome, all great non mainstream stuff plus lots of jazz and classical.

I listened to a Deerhoof album a while back, and the singing was too much for me! Off the wall. ''Deerhoof'' is one of the best band names I've ever heard, though.
