He rated the song a 7... I don't think it was meant as a negative comment... just well... probably enjoying too much of that recently legalized substance to be behind the keys. Just a thought... {#Foot-in-mouth}

Was thinking these guys had listened a lot to Brian Wilson.

An abrupt ending, which would've been appreciated somewhat earlier.

I hear a bit of Bach here, St. Matthews Passion/Mass in B Minor (maybe, who knows?).  It's that ethereal chorus that's just wonderful.

I'm thinking Mr. Mercer was listening to some of Mr. Wilson.

Following Bill Withers' "Use Me" - that's odd.   {#Stupid}

TOTALLY agree. Also - to cite a more recent example, Animal Collective.

Not being "judge-mental" at all, i'd say this is a great listen!

Judging from the opening, I'd say that Danger Mouse was listening to a lot of 'Pet Sounds' around the time they made this record.

If you like this song, I would highly recommend buying this CD. It flows extremely well and is filled with tuneful, well-crafted songs.

Sounds to me like some lateish Beatles (White Album-) in absolute amazing recording quality.

If I had to choose, I'd 'sex is on fire' is worse in the literal sense.  Also, 'sex is on fire' is worse in the musical sense.  Or at least overplayed more.  Or overplayed sooner.  I don't know.  I like this song, and this album.

This has to be the most original song of the year.  What a dreamy chorus.

This is trippy... RadioParadise has stolen my mind, and somehow, work tomorrow seems like a rather laughable concept. I might just call in fat and stay home with my computer.

I almost had an out-of-body experience listening to this song while gazing down from an airplane window at towering summer cumulus passing by like cotton mountains rising from a sea of indigo shadows. 

No chemical refreshment, either!

I don't think it's boring but I'll give you that it's hard to explain why it's appealing. It just is.
