Anyone remember this thread? In my opinion it was a pretty catchy song, with a great music video to boot. So because I'm not plighted with poverty and have strong need to support artists that I like; I went to Amazon and purchased this album. At the price of $6 of the MP3 album, it was a pretty good price. So after listening to the thing a few times, I thought I might as well review the album...It seems to be one of the few things I do in the community; review things.
The album starts off the an accordion themed song about musicians who play in the London underground. These musicians are being coerced by the authorities to sing songs about safety on the Underground. Oh, and this is a comedy album. It's a fun song, if your into folkish sounding music...well most of the album is folkish, so if you're not into that, you can stop reading this review now.
The second song begins as somewhat of a romantic song and soon devolves a song about cockfighting. Comedy album remember. This is not my favorite song. The lyrics seem a little forced, still it's fun the first time around. The same can be said for the next few songs. There is one about the fall of a Matador with weird fetishes. The other is on the age old joke about a man and sheep...I'll leave it at that. The first half of the album is rounded out with a song about placenta eating, yeah.
The other half of the album starts off well with a great song on Howard Hughes. If you don't know who he is...then...I don't know, go here. The next track is the Soviet Union song and it's the high point of the album. After that are two songs entitled "Churchill's Favourite Song (Whoops Me Gravy)" and "Hitler's Favourite Song (Please Don't Tread On My Cheeseburger)". The latter of the two is actually pretty good in a demented sort of way. The album finishes with a song about Pie. Yep, just about Pie...that's all.
Overall the album depends on your taste in music and your prudishness. I frankly found it to be pretty hit or miss, with only four standouts. It's alright for a debut, but not worth buying.
[6.5/10]
