 The record is eclectic and eccentric in style, exploring numerous genres like classical music, art rock, folk, psychedelia, country and rock and roll, and exemplifies Wood's surreal humour, with songs exploring curious subjects.The textured production includes multitracked choir-like vocals and makes heavy usage of unusual arrangements.Upon release, "Boulders" was hailed by critics for its individual sound and the extensive contributions from Wood, and today is regarded as one of his stronger works.
