It’s just as sexual, if not more so, and it again hints of early art rock made modern. Songs like “Magik – —-” and “You Can’t Fade The PMPH” quickly demonstrate the group’s ability to create a sound that mixes lust and terror, art and eclecticism. Yet it’s countered nicely with dissonant tracks like “At The Mall” and “Mr. Frontman”. Further tunes, namely “Significant Bummer” and “Stash”, excel in their own right.\n\nAs a whole, what should you make of Year Of The Jerk? Well, it is one of the more unique records you’ll hear, but it’s one that holds a special place in my heart. I can only hope that the same will be true for you.\n\nhttp://www.fensepost.com/main/2009/03/26/partman-parthorse-year-of-the-jerk-album-review/","location":3,"location_name":"Seattle","play_type":"trackplay"}
