Merriweather Post Pavilion

This is a tough record. Tough to get your mind around, tough to sit through and difficult to digest. But it rewards a listener who stays with it and does not go back to the TV or some easier to understand music.

It is epic in scope and ambition. These guys are not aiming for the lowest common denominator. They are reaching for the stars and hit the moon.

The record has layer upon layer of sound. The lyric repeats and winds like a vine around an old fence post. It sounds better with subsequent listens. Don't give up, listen on NPR here.

It will go off NPR and then will be a record to consider.
