THE REVIEW
While I'm writing this review, the Brian Jonestown Massacre are on tour in the United States, and I must admit that I wouldn't mind being there, just as I wouldn't mind owning the entire discography of these guys (16 albums not counting singles, EPs, and scattered pieces), but well, you can't have everything in life (as an old saying goes).
Meanwhile, I'm enjoying this ...And This Is Our Music (in response to Galaxie 500's This Is Our Music). The start is entrusted to the narcoleptic folk of Starcleaner and Here to Go, while When Jokers Attack is electric with a nice guitar work that reminds me of Elliott Smith. It's worth mentioning Prozac Vs Heroin if only for the title. Geezer, written for Will Sergeant and Mac, is characterized by background distortions, and in Maryanne, folk makes its appearance again.
With You Look Great When I'm Fucked Up, you can feel western and spacey atmospheres at the same time. The album then continues alternating tracks rooted in folk or the psychedelia of the '60s, or adding experiments such as the electronic tribalism of Prozac Vs. Heroin Revisited.

An album varied and multifaceted, yet always incredibly cohesive and fluid.
You Look Great When I’m Fucked Up, perhaps one of the group’s best pieces, as epic as a Thelma & Louise with Morricone’s music.
