I don't know why I love this album. My tastes generally run toward neo-classical minimalism, synthpop and sacred bop jazz - and for some reason this LP just stayed in my brain ever since "Free Guitar Lessons For Animals" was a great long playlist cut on my 1999 radio show, one that would let me organize the rest of my set. I guess it planted some seeds there of a particularly ill if infectious variety... Save your scathing critiques for the Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan LPs, and give this one a curious shot. Something about listening to it is like watching H.R. Puf-N-Stuf sewing an umbrella to an operating table, as it were.

how cute, a gigantic joke of a concept album that we hip kids can all love ironically. i'm sure it has its place in this world, like all else, but it doesn't have a place in mine, and i wouldn't even be writing this right now if emusic didn't further drive the joke past the hilt into nauseating idiocy by categorizing it as jazz. even "avant-garde" jazz is way off. it's not jazz, it's not avant garde, it's merde. the kind of thing you see once, give a wry smile, and avoid like hell ever after.

L.M.N.O.P. calls for either a semi-bizarre sense of humor or the liberal use of drugs, in the best way possible. The record (which isn’t described justly with terms like “novelty” or “humor”) presents the musical adventures of DJ Cardboard, Princess Pandora Stardust, the Mean Witch Christ Cornpop, and several other characters, all of whom make up the best puppet band since Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem. The appeal of this lies partly in the characters’ amusing escapades (the album opens with DJ Cardboard offering “Free Guitar Lessons for Animals,” then listening to the music of each animal’s newly formed band), but also in the always-appropriate sound manipulations used to create both voices and music. Almost anyone who has ever enjoyed a recording of this sort will find L.M.N.O.P. interesting; at the very least, stoners and semi-strange people all over America may find it near brilliant. – Nitsuh Abebe
