"Hissing Fauna..." is an interesting record by Of Montreal - possibly the most innovative band to come out of the Athens scene since R.E.M. The record is worth a listen but on the whole isn't worth half the tracks.

I've never seen such a case of someone "not getting it". Or wait, maybe I have. Rolling Stone didn't get most of Ghostface Killah's albums. Anyhow, "Hissing Fauna" is sprawling yet cohesive, original yet clear in its influences. I've seen RS magazine give improper ratings before, and Hissing Fauna is no exception.

When I was younger, I used to think RS got it. Instead, they continue to spiral away from innovative bands and ignore those who pave new roads for others to gain corporate success. Its refreshing to know that I can count on RS to stay away from us listeners. This album is pure bliss from beginning to end.

I love love this album. It's amazing. My favorite song has to be "Gronlandic Edit" the first time i heard it, it made me want to dance. I think this album is their best piece of work.

Wow, that review by Christian Hoard was not very good.
This album was very well done and very unique, as all of Of Montreal's have been.
I don't see how people can compare them to the Kinks or the Beach Boys when they sound very different. It's a great album, it just takes a few listens to appreciate more, and I doubt Christian Hoard listened to it more than once..

God, why hasn't Christian Hoard been fired, yet?
