God knows what crack Camper Van Beethoven was smoking when they decided it made sense to cover the Fleetwood Mac album 'Tusk', but that crack was indeed smoked. And it is a confusing cover. Bewilderingly odd.
This is not a cover of the song 'Tusk'. This is a cover of the ALBUM. A 20-some song double album, from back in the day where you weren't /nobody/ if you hadn't done an overly-pretentious self-worshipping doublealbum (ask Led Zeppelin about this one).
Listening to the Camper Van cover, I now wrestle the urge to pick up a copy of the original, for comparison's sake.

  The only album cover I have is Les Claypool's Frog Brigade's full-album cover of Pink Floyd's Animals. They did a pretty good job with it. I want to get a copy of the Squirrels' Not-So-Bright Side of the Moon, though.

  How is it? Beyond 'confusing'.

    I can't decide what I think of it. I keep listening to it, over and over.
    Nothing stands out as a particularly grand track- but nothing really seems to suck, either.
