The songs that really grab my attention are Oh Daddy, Peaceable Kingdom, Bird in a Box, and 1967, the latter of which will go down as one of his most creative and inventive pieces. Oh Daddy is a nice simple pop song with some nice back ups from Audie. The melody and rhythm are concise and keep the song at a nice uptempo pace. Peaceable Kingdom was another one of the singles on the album, and it has more concise and creative playing from Belew as well as some nice lyrics. Bird in a Box is behind 1967 as the quirkiest track on the album. Some manic guitar and soothing vocal come to mind when I think of this song. The finale to the album is 1967, which will go down in my mind as one of Adrian's most creative pieces. It goes through many different styles and moods, but it always keeps that feeling of the 60's throughout.
Overall, this isn't a great album. It's good, but if you're looking for progressive rock, you should steer clear of this one. If you like really strong pop and some very inventive guitar work, you may find something enjoyable in this album. 3/5.

Of note, House Of Cards is grace by an eerie sustained guitar background throughout the song. Hot Zoo with animal noises, could have been a track on Lone Rhino. Motoer Bungalow has a cool rhythm track, and a nice Belew elephant solo. But all of the songs, while slightly inventive, are juat too mundane to capture my interest for any sustained period of time. Unfortunately, that hold true for too much of Belew's solo material.
