Free Music Notes for Of Natural History
Free Music Review: Great Album
Hit: 3 Stars
Of Natural History was my first Sleepytime Gorilla Museum album, and which got me hooked on their music along with their beautiful family tree (Faun Fables, Tin Hat, Idiot Flesh, etc.). Only good albums can get me really stuck into a specific band for a long while. This is one of those albums. But there are some complaints... the monologues can get a bit monotonous, as well as some of the ambience, mainly the end of Babydoctor, which lasts over 3 minutes. 17 Year Cicadas is really the only track I could take out and I wouldn't really notice much a difference at all, it just doesn't provide anything to the album. One more thing that bothers me about this release is the flow, the first 6 tracks go in and out beautifully, but after that, it's a bit jagged, as the second half really isn't as important as the first in terms of quality and diversity. And Cockroach feels akward where it stands, right after the immense Babydoctor, which I think (Babydoctor) would've been an absolutely perfect album closer.
I love this album, most of the songs are great alone, but the album doesn't quite stand on its own the whole time through. My favorite tracks include TDHAOHOTD, Phthisis, Apocalypse, FC, and Babydoctor.
