Oskar is definitely my favorite Momus album. Followed closely by Hippopotomomus and 20 Vodka Jellies (I know it's a compilation, but it was my first intro to Momus, and I played it everyday at the Borders Books & Music I worked at, at the time.... Sold quite a few of them too!) I remember listening to it for the first time while shoveling snow. Now, whenever I shovel snow, I'm instantly brought back to the excitement of hearing "The Last Communist" for the first time. And "Palm Deathtop".... So good. It definitely grows over time, but for me, I could see, upon first listen that this was an album i'd want/need to spend time with. The lyrics are great, the sounds are great. Only just this week I was relistening to it and "A Lapdog" jumped out for the first time as my favorite track. It's such a twisty, weird, fun album, it seems almost impossible to play it out. I'm gonna go listen to it now.
