Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Spacey atmospherics, equal parts guitar and synth, and perfect pop songs seamlessly congeal into a potent distillation of the Grandaddy sound. Wonderfully ambitious, endlessly melodic, and surprisingly all encompassing, it's like a "Greatest Hits" made up entirely of brand new songs. "The best Grandaddy record thus far...the record pounces upon teary piano bridges, epic electronic washes, 'Sumday' style narratives, dissonant guitar-driven rockers, and six-plus minute prog-pop opuses" - Filter.

As a farewell note, Just Like the Fambly Cat does its job. The final Grandaddy album reminds you of all the things that made the Modesto, California band special, while at the same time confirming all the reasons it never had the kind of mainstream breakthrough tasted by like-minded psychedelic pop adventurers like the Flaming Lips and Radiohead. It's at once uneven and inspiring, with lush tracks like "The Animal World" and "Campershell Dreams" setting the bar sky-high. But it's hard to ignore the sense of rot setting into the music, especially when beneath the luster of "Guide Down Denied," the band's brainchild Jason Lytle spells out his disillusionment so clearly: "All my friends are home indoors, reading about me, feeling sorry for the guy who tried." --Aidin Vaziri
