Deerhoof love classic art rock so much they had to crush it to smithereens and duct-tape it back together insideout. Beneath the lopsided structures of the San Francisco quartet's sixth album, there are glimmers of smashed Rush and Captain Beefheart CDs: bombastic, jerky, dissonant riffs that abruptly collapse into silence or noise. Despite its whiplash changes in perspective and sound, though, Milk Man's secret weapons are loveliness and restraint. When they keep their eccentric energy channeled in a single direction for a few minutes, as on the title track, they give old-school prog rock a kick in the flared pants.
