The Rentals

The reason I've been making lots of posts here, and replying to some ancient threads as well, is because this group isn't getting very much attention this year, and I haven't been posting here much when it did get attention.

Anyways, what do you all think of all of the material from the Rentals' latest effort, Songs About Time? I thought all the songs off of it were interesting, and that if I listen to all the song titles listed in order of their dates (1/1, 1/20, 2/24, 3/17, etc.) it gives the feel of a concept album. This could very well be a concept album, about their recent tour of Japan.

As I was watching all of the associated videos of these on YouTube, I've noticed there is a Fender-Rhodes piano in their sound. How long ago did the Rentals incorporate an electric piano (besides their usual mixed bag of synthesizers)?
