#67 Seller of 2005! Like Sumday, Excerpts From the Diary of Todd Zilla was recorded at Jason Lytle's home studio in Ceres, CA. Jason wrote all the songs and produced it as well. Excerpts From...'s sound is more in line with Under the Western Freeway and Sophomore Slump, but it still has a couple of straight up pop-driven songs. Like all Grandaddy albums before Excerpts From... creatively use vocals to express Jason's thoughts, and in this case his dissatisfaction with life in Modesto, CA.

Spacey atmospherics, equal parts guitar and synth, and perfect pop songs seamlessly congeal into a potent distillation of the Grandaddy sound. Wonderfully ambitious, endlessly melodic, and surprisingly all encompassing, it's like a "Greatest Hits" made up entirely of brand new songs. "The best Grandaddy record thus far... the record pounces upon teary piano bridges, epic electronic washes, 'Sumday' style narratives, dissonant guitar-driven rockers, and six-plus minute prog-pop opuses" - Filter.

VINYL FORMAT. Two exclusive tracks by two of the most prized combos in America. THE POLYPHONIC SPREE offer a studio version of the live favorite "The March" -- with all the bliss and good tidings that this 24-piece is known for. GRANDADDY's side is a little less euphoric, but by no means less enticing. The bearded wonders give us the memorable "The Rugged and Splintered Entertainment Center." Each band contributed beautiful artwork to this little 45 RPM nugget.
