The Neil Young grunge sound?

Not bad.

from Wiki.... Sparhawk (guitar/vocals) and Parker (bass) are married, have two children, and are practicing members of the Mormon faith.

 
Okay, I have to say it:  I guess the reason they only have two children is because they're "practicing" Mormons and don't have it perfected yet...  Really good music, though - I like this song! {#Bounce} *ducks and runs...*

It is difficult to enjoy this song because the accidental digital compression distortion or the deliberate distortion by the musicians is so irritating that it's hard to get past it.  
 

The distortion and dirt is not accidental and I really doubt it's digital.  The producer was Dave Fridman of Mercury Rev fame who also did all the production on The Flaming Lips' biggest albums.  The production is in a similar vein as the Flaming Lips' "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots."  The distortion is an artistic choice that I think works for this band — spacy but wildly dark and complex.  Flood did it best on U2's "Actung Baby" but it's also worked for other artists including The Church on their 2003 album "Forget Yourself."

Agreed, and very interesting "dirty" production.  Dark, but it really grows on you.

kinda nice but I imagine it would be easy to get sick of it
 

perhaps, as a single out-take from the album, but it you get a chance to give the record a listen from front to back, its a really nice musical ride .. IMHO their best album to date.

Certain parts of it are a little Pink Floyd-ish too...
It works for me.
