5. This album does more mining of older musical styles than "Mink Car" did; there's a couple of quasi-rockabilly songs, one piece of late-Beatle psychedelia, some late-70s/early-80s prog rock ("Prevenge"; "Broke In Two"), one Mitch-Miller-ish song that's kind of like the jokey stuff on "Flood". I wonder if it's going to provoke the kind of controversy that spun around Usenet when "John Henry" came out; it's a slight stylistic departure from what they've been doing since the mid-90s, though by now TMBG fans ought to be used to stylistic departures. The two songs from "The Spine" that were pre-released on "Indestructible Object" were more "Mink Car"-ish, as is "Experimental Film".
