It doesn't take long to realize that the drummer is pretty phenomenal. He shows some pretty astounding skill on the skins in the first song "In Disguise." I don't think it would be out of order to say that Jason Monseur is the backbone of the band.

"Eyetomaton" features funky bass, rapid-fire guitar and drums, and some keyboards reminiscent of Stevie Wonder. As if that weren't enough layers for one song, the end of the song features some funky saxophone. This is perhaps a good example of why I didn't get the album the first time through. There is so much going on in these songs, you really need to take some time to absorb them.

It would be one thing if "Eyetomaton" were the only example of multi-layered song on this album. "Wrong Hand" is another fine example of that. In fact, pretty much every song is a complex, layered wall of sound.
