Absolutely fantastic album, right up my alley. The spacier, melodic stuff is gorgeous (especially on Bowie's part) and then the anarchic stuff and songs like Sue are surprisingly hard-hitting. Mark Guiliana on drums is fantastic, readily displaying the 'live drum machine' influence of Deantoni Parks of The Mars Volta (which he's talked about before), and the saxophonist is understated where he needs to be and fiery as anything when he needs to be. Really great.
