Here, and throughout, they sound like a jam band that was shot into space and came back to earth with alien DNA.
'Boogieman Sam' is the most normal-sounding track on the record with its choogling groove and singsong vocals it also features harp glissandos, strange vocal effects, and a long and wobbly guitar break. Being who they are, though, it never gets snoozy and their version of rambling boogie is still plenty odd. It's not exactly a step back from the epic albums they had been cranking out, but it seems like they were ready to do something a little more relaxed and mellow. They've shelved the microtonal instruments, shut down the synths (for the most part), and dialed down their ambitions in favor of laid-back, rambling tunes that feature pianos, gentle vocals, acoustic instruments, and lots of both blues and fancy harp.
