How can you not like a CD with lyrics like, "I'm little boy blue sporting dippity-doo?" This CD is packed with music that makes you want to dance, lyrics that make you laugh and sing along. Somewhat similar to They Might Be Giants in style. Highly recommended to anyone looking for something different.

Definitely the 80's synth sound. I saw Voice Farm at a Apple Developers Party in the 90's. Very creative onstage presence like the Tubes. If you like Depeche Mode, you will get a kick out of San francisco based Voice Farm

When I am in a good mood this colection of energetic songs makes me feel even better. When I am feeling less than fabulous, it cheers me. It's not for the serious music lover, but I loved it. Anybody who is a fan of the early eightys will enjoy this.

This is not the same album as I had it in the 1990's. Songs are different, sleeve is printed on a home computer... Too bad, cuz it was one of my favorite albums in the early 90's.

Voice Farm started out as one seriously weird electronic performance collective in the early 80s San Francisco. This, their third release (and only major-label release), was their stab at mainstream success. One single, "Free Love" was a moderate club hit in 1991, but, sadly, they couldn't win over radio.

Though the production sounds a bit dated, it's hard to not love this album. Smart, witty, experimental yet insanely catchy, Bigger Cooler Weirder remains a techno-pop classic years after it's release.

Standout tracks: "Thank You", "Free Love", "Ode to Buffy", & their truest "pop" song, "Don't Know Why", a genuinely sweet & sad track with a beautiful falsetto.
