"Trying to describe the Russian Futurists' singularity without resorting to hyperbole can drive a critic mad. The pertinent signifiers have already been spread thin: Ye olde faythful Beatles/Beach Boys axis of anonymity pertains in theory, but it's become synonymous with vacant pop blandstanding and doesn't do justice to Matthew Adam Hart's oversaturated sugar smacks... (Our Thickness) is an IMAX epic shot on Super8 and projected onto a bed sheet, a sumptuous coronation parade in a snowglobe, a theme park made of Tinker Toys

Not nearly as good as his earlier work. Seemed to be a bit muddy and downtrodden with no standouts. Still, his albums always need repeated listens. I'd highly recommend this or any of his earlier releases to fans of the Flaming Lips, Magnetic Fields, Beatles, Beach Boys, and Spiritualized.
