It was not long after the squashing of the Y2K bug that they released Since I Left You, that sprawling cavalcade of an album that ruled every house party in the 2000s.
The most orchestra-friendly, unsurprisingly, was Frontier Psychiatrist, the bombast of its spaghetti western musicality coming to life as the brass section came in with a vengeance. This song is a composer’s holy grail: simultaneously a technical standout, a social critique, a piece of wild comedy, and a stone-cold banger. Decades on, it still has a huge sound, and its assembly of spoken samples is just as clever.
