5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome blend of comedy and musical talent, August 10, 2007
By K. A. Mills (Greensboro, NC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Flight of the Conchords is hands down the funniest show on TV this summer, but Bret and Jemaine are also known for their wickedly funny live shows. This little EP showcases both their in-studio and live performances and provides a nice little taste of the full album to come in early 2008. I can't wait!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, August 30, 2007
By Arevee "Mel" (Orlando, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
Flight Of The Conchords is one of the funniest concepts since Ricky Gervais unleashed The Office. Alot of people won't get it which is probably why HBO almost cancelled their show. Unfortunately, they can't match the scary success of Sex In The City. The genius of their comedy is woven into their songs with such clever skill that it takes several listens to catch all the subtle hilarious references. Eventually, FOC will get the attention they so justly deserve but probably not until sometime in the distant future...the year 2000.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh yes, it's definitely business time., August 7, 2007
By I. Pryor (California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
How wonderful for Flight of the Conchords that they're finally getting the attention they deserve, and by HBO no less. Their laidback, quirky humor, mixed with definite musical skills, always makes me grin. I hope they acquire a HUGE fan following.

By the way, Business Time is by far my favorite song.

Flight of the Conchords should have done a little more brainstorming when trying to come up with things to sing about. This disc has five songs, and two of them are about sex. Read more
