5 stars First I want to apologize, this review will be shorter, than I intended few minutes ago. I know that I should write in something else than this magical form here on PA, but I couldn't help myself. I wrote few hundreds of words and all is gone now. I'll try to remember what I wrote, but it won't be as good as it was, just shadow of the past. And I know that I'll never be able to write it as good as it was before, I can't do such a thing, I've tried it a lot of times in past.

So Take 2: In general, I've tried to justify my 5 stars rating. I've pointed out certain parts of album, how it greatly continues work from first release. And crazy story little bit revolving around prunes (also my own story connected to prunes). In fact, most of review was embrace of humor and weirdness (more weird than first one by my opinion). I also added my little story about how I was influenced and controlled by prunes. And last thing was struggle about if to give 4, or 5. Finally, I gave

5(-). In fact I gave five minus, but can't do it again. This is almost masterpiece to some extent it indeed is, but sounds more consistent than first one, which is more perfect for me. Oh, prunes are controlling me again, so I had to give back five minus rating. Closing line would be probably: "why is the vegetable something to hiiiiide", graduating (dramatically) and "pumpkin is breathing hard" + crazy sounding (when connected with previous song) Big Leg Emma. Weird, crazy, creative and after all, different, doesn't mean unmelodic, so this is very melodic album.
