The second song, Cricket and the Genie (Movement 1 - the Delirium) starts with a fuzzy bass rhythm. Sean sings like a young Roger Waters on his performances. He sings lightly and softly staying with the high notes almost like a falsetto. Les brings an awkwardly jocular personality, sort of like a musical version of Robin Williams. Lennon wrote the lyrics to five of the songs and sung lead vocals on five of the tracks. This is an eleven track affair, with Claypool writing the lyrics to six of the songs and also singing lead vocals on six of the numbers. So will this album take us on a rock trip into space? The Monolith of Phobos is supposed to be a large rock on a Martian moon. Sean also created the inner collage, which depicts ancient Egyptian artifacts with modern appliances and pictures of outer space. Sean created art on the the front side of the album cover and Les created the art on the back side. Both are visual artists as well as performing artists. Hailing from the bay area of California, Claypool has a natural inclination towards psychedelic art and The Beatles were involved in psychedelic rock during the late sixties. Sean Lennon is the son of Yoko Ono and the late John Lennon. Huh? Is this another one of Lester's gags? No it's legitimate.
