iTunes Review
It’s an amorphous and stylistically slippery affair here, with hints of Beck, Bowie, Prince, ‘70s glam, and various shadings of contemporary orchestral pop plus the kind of oddball, smarty-pants weirdness that outfits like Fiery Furnaces are so adept at. Of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes is not only on a musical journey, but a personal one, unabashedly exploring themes of introspection, sexual role playing (warning: explicit lyrics ahead!), and inter-relational gamesmanship, throwing down the gauntlet with lyrics like, “I want to show you off, I want to tell you lies; I want to ... make you paranoid and say the sweetest things.” Pop nirvana feels within reach on joyous tracks like “An Eluardian Instance” and “Nonpareil of Favor,” and the sensitive and lovely “Touched Something’s Hollow” might bring on a swoon. But somewhere around “Women’s Studies Victims,” a number of tracks begin to resemble individual, miniature stage dramas... or perhaps inchoate songs searching for their denouement ... and therein lies the challenge. But you’ve been through tougher things. Solider on for your just reward.

I love you Kevin Barnes!!!
A change of mind...
by AndWeAllShineOnI had recently gotten into Of Montreal when I got this album. I was excited to listen to it. It was the third album I'd listened to by them. Anxiously awaiting the familiar tones of Kevin Barnes' voice, I popped it into the CD player...and experienced disappointment, sadness, and confusion. I did NOT like this album. It was odd, and didn't have the melodic fun to it that the other albums I'd listened to had. So since then, I've been in the state of mind that I disliked this album, and therefore never listened to it. But yesterday, about halfway through my Of Montreal/Homework Fest, I turned this album on just for kicks. And boy, was I surprised! Either my musical taste has matured greatly in the past few months, or I just was delerious when I listened to it for the first time. This album is incredible. I think I must have listened to For Our Elegant Caste about twenty times yesterday. Hope someone took the time to read my little story here, just wanted to praise one of my favorite bands.
Just bought this... It's great!
by kellaaay_xx_whoahhI found this album at a used bookstore, and since it looked unique, I picked it up. I love how Kevin Barnes masters his lyrics and comes up with the beats (:
