Following up 2008's bangin release of the psychedelic sex-pop album, Skeletal Lamping, that just seemed to leave of Montreal fans in mass pandemonium, they have finally boiled up another one: the much anticipated yet little sought after False Priest. False Priest is most comparable to Skeletal Lamping in song structure but the tone has changed a bit from steadily creepy to just a bit more poppy with an accompaniment of the usual nonsensical falsetto screeching. On the side, one of the weaker points is that I do not felt an immediate sense of flow that almost every other oM album seems to possess. I have listened through the album probably about 10 times in total and I think that while every song on there is entertaining, the second half is much stronger than the first. It's definitely got great potential to grow on me as I continue to give it more listens and I'm sure that this fall tour is going to be groovin! All-in-all, if you have consistently liked of Montreal, this one will probably still have a strong kick even though it may fall short of some their other masterpieces.
