this band had me confused for a while. the reviews referenced tom waits and captain beefheart so i know i was supposed to like this. and i tried. it just didn't click. then i saw them live and i realized that i had completely misunderstood this band. these guys have more in common with the make up than tom waits. but instead of attacking funk and sould they deal in ... gypsy music.. or something like that. the tom waits references are understandable because of the instrumentation but that is really where the commonality ends. this is just a huge, huge blast of fun. though it may not sound it at times. you should buy the album but you must see them live.
