Irrelevant discussion of recording quality aside, the music is art rock in the fullest sense of the genre. Musicianship is king here.

The bassist probably plays a 5 string if that helps you visualize anything. But what you lose in coolness, you gain in unexpected twists. Godboy never bore you with 3 chord repetarock. It riffs on the gameplaying metaphor using advertising slogans from various game commercials that were forced upon us in our youth. Monopoly, Hungry Hippos, Mr. Mouth, Connect Four, Operation, and Battleship are amoung the many odd memories.
