5.0 out of 5 stars Best in Class of '02, November 21, 2002

The best Flying Other Brothers album of this or any other year--though that is not to say that they can not still surpass this one. Clearly their stock has moved from the "value" to the "growth" category, though their earnings may not be multiple of anything (and they may not care much--find about their Pay it Forward program).

This album has a much more sophisticated sound, songwriting, and vastly improved vocals and production. The lyrics, always witty, have more variety and zing. As has been indicated in some of the other reviews, the uncredited piece five minutes after the last cut lets "Dubya" have it right where it hurts. No one can savage a Yalie like another Yalie, and there's a deep Blue streak in the band.

Besides that one, my favorite is "Serenity the Angel", which boasts an attractive chord sequence and tasteful female vocals--a clue to the solution the FOB's have come up with to the previously much-too-Dead (as in Grateful) vocal patterns: spread the wealth. There are 6 or 7 different lead vocalists on this album.

This is the best of the Flying Other Brothers CDs. Great rythym and harmonies. The album opener "TELL ME IT'S OKAY" sets the tone for a special musical journey into a soft rock high. It's refreshing to hear original music with heart and soul. Fabulous find.

5.0 out of 5 stars 52-Week High, April 23, 2002

I loved this album as soon as I started listening. It reminded me of driving up Mt Tamalpais in 1967, stoned in an old school bus to hear the Grateful Dead play. I started ripping songs onto my iTunes immediately. But when the album ended, it didn't really end. Three minutes after "On My Way" ended, on came a song that does what Tom Daschle and Dick Gephardt ought to be doing; it's a song that tells the actual honest-to-God truth about the illegitimate, appointed "president" and how someone so undeserving and unaccomplished managed to weasel his way into the White House. This musical story of the life of George Bush is the best political song since Country Joe & the Fish and it alone is worth the price of this CD. (Normally if I find 2 songs to rip on a new CD I consider myself lucky. I got 5 off this album!!)
