If You Like: Animal Collective

This album is more instrumental than the other albums (besides Under An Hour), with 5/11 tracks having no vocals. Two of the instrumental tracks, 'The Ladder' and 'Posh Isolation', are pretty good songs, and 'Nebali' is one of my favorites by Menomena!. There's also a demo of 'Rose', which was re-recorded for IatFBM!, which is much more raw. The rest of the songs are typical of the band, with the exception of 'Sista Social Theme', which comes way, way, way out of left field. If you like their later work than I would consider it worth getting. 6/10
