ya i mean the lyrics may be a lil too self consciously weird but its ok because theyre still funny
otm, and i like the way the lyrics kind of ping-pong between dumb doo-doo jokes, self-indulgent non-sequiturs and moments of genuinely unsettling psychedelic oddity. the album isn't so much a showcase for keith's rapping as it is a cabinet of curiosities, the focal point of each song shifting from moment to moment from keith's bugged-out nonsense to dan's creepy sci-fi soundscapes, from qbert's jaw-dropping cutting to skits and samples, all the weird little fragments on the margins. it's funny, catchy and more than a little scary. one of my favorite albums of its era.

Keith toured here a couple of months ago, as Dr Octagon, playing this in full
(I didn’t go bcz I’ve seen him as Kool Keith before and he was horrible)
saw him at ATP, at one point he just rapped the numbers from the dates on the back of a tour t-shirt some guy on stage was wearing and it was incredible, but it quickly devolved into really embarrassing poo and wee stuff.
