Every aspect of this album is wonderfully done. Talented lead singer, catchy, pervasive songs, -killer- lyrics, and an incredibly cohesive presentation. Not a single track feels out of place. Tons of fun. I highly recommend it!

This has got to be one of the greatest things to happen , not just in music, but ever! Yeah maybe I took that a little too far , but this band is just great. Miss. Jenio stands out as most people would agree but the catchy fun (corny?) music is what puts it together.
There is not a single track I skip through while listening and that's saying a lot.
Seems in most reviews the people are just glowing at the mention of the name, and I can't blame them. It's intoxicating, it's the single most enjoyable album I've heard in a while now.
Be warned though, once you hear these songs they will remain in your head until the day you die, not that's such a bad thing.
That's about all I have...thumbs up, with a big stupid smile.

There is too little Lisa Jenio music in the world. She was a driving force in The Stool Pigeons (two great albums of "British Inversion" covers) but makes a brilliant leap here as a songwriter as well as a singer. Her lyrics are not just clever, they have a stealth quality with an insidious humor and a cutting satirical edge that you can miss under the bouncy melodies. The music is infectious but also a brilliant counterpoint to the lyrics, which can be silly, sardonic or just plain savage. "Fake It" has the sound of a love ballad but the words are the exasperated yearnings of a girl who just wants a little nooky. "Cherry Picker" calls out a middle-aged man for trying to deny his age by dating a succession of younger women. And "Monkey Boy" is a simply infectious song about a boy afraid to commit and a girl persistent enough to make him choose, with a "Me Tarzan, You Jane" sensibility to the lyric.

Please, please, please, Lisa Jenio, record more music.

PS: Candypants recorded one other hilariously funny song that I know of: "Nerdy Boys," featuring on "Alright, This Time Just the Girls Vol. 2," which is a great collection.
