Girl Talk - Feed the Animals

Much like the last one I reviewed, Girl Talk's latest album is one extremely dense and elaborate mashup, and what's even better, it can be downloaded in MP3 form on the label's website using the In Rainbows price model of whatever you feel like. Feed the Animals has fewer tracks than Night Ripper despite being about ten minutes longer, so the songs feel fuller, although it can still be easy to miss the transitions from one to another. I don't feel like it has quite as many stand out moments, but it's still a pretty thoroughly enjoyable listen, taking pieces from tons of songs across many genres and eras and turning them into a cohesive experience. There's just something irresistible about mixing UGK with The Spencer Davis Group to start off an album. A few other things that stood out were Kanye West's "Flashing Lights" transitioning straight into "15 Step" by Radiohead, "Gronlandic Edit" by Of Montreal appearing, and a bunch of random stuff you might not expect like "Superstar" by The Carpenters. I'm not sure what the creative process for mashing stuff together is like, but I imagine it's gotta be fun to experiment with.
