Napoleon Blown Apart by Wonderboy

A full-size scan of the CD cover is available.

"... let me just say what everybody already knows: Rist is a jack of all musical trades. He can play any instrument with prodigy-like skill, but more important, a sense of fun and adventure. ... The long-awaited new album is the group's pinnacle thus far - finally the right balance of Rist's slightly off-kilter pop sense and a steadiness in its presentation."
- Jordan Oakes, Yellow Pills
