04 - Avey Tare - Glass Bottom Boat

I've always wanted to go on a glass bottom boat. This is a cool little song, at any rate. Listening to it, I suspect that this whole album is some sort of concept album, telling a story of some guy exploring some surreal underworld. OK probably not but that would be cool right??

This is one of my favorite tracks (though it's more of an interlude) on the whole album. I love the creepy distorted dialogue and the lonely piano. Seriously, this song has an aura/mood to it that sets my perspective on the entire album.

This album kinda was ignored by critics....if reviewed usually given a lukewarm (C average) rating. It really is good .. at least a B. It's definitely a grower. Honestly I can't say that 'Tomboy' is any better than this. Tomboy's few great tracks vs. an entire album of really good tracks. I think Avey has the edge.

@KittybellChan Damn that's a nice interpretation.

@ancestors I always thought of it as more of a journey to the afterlife. Like one is crossing the river Styx in a glass bottomed boat. Of course, I say this with the belief that the thought that the next song (Ghost of Books) is about Orpheus and Eurydice.

Perhaps this is what afterlife sounds like.
