5.0 out of 5 stars Artful lo-fi style, grace and humor, January 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: It's Only Right & Natural (Audio CD)

Far from being "designed to instill homophobia" this is probably one of the most irreverently gay albums ever made, certainly the only specifically "gay" music I've ever been able to stomach listening to. (And that's because it's totally sarcastic and satirical. Personally, politics and music don't mix in my ears very well. For example: horrible bands like Kitchens of Distinction and the Murmurs.)
But that's all totally beside the point; the naughty Flemion boys are also musical geniuses. You might have the disposition and opinions of Ralph Reed and still find yourself tapping your foot and singing along to "Baby Greaser George"; the Frogs are that infectious. (Like a wonderful disease, and they mean to be.)
This isn't music for slow-witted listeners. They won't know what to make of it and will come away with odd conclusions like "designed to instill homophobia." Right, that's why the cover of the album features a picture of a little boy wearing a gay-pride pin!
Don't be dissuaded by the gay stuff (if you're the type who usually is,) this is an album for everyone and anyone who appreciates intelligent, fun, and challenging music. The gay angle (aside from being personally interesting to at least one of the brothers) is really just a ruse to create the funny, shocking humor that will make you laugh every time you find yourself humming one of their contageous melodies. And if it bothers you that much...buy one of their other albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply The Best Album of my Lifetime, January 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: It's Only Right & Natural (Audio CD)

There is no other way to say it, the frogs created the perfect album for true music fans. They took everything people had said was too extreme and weird then laughed as they smashed all barriers. These are 2 brothers having fun ranting and raving about anything and everything. So what if the priest does have a yeast infection? I sincerely believe that this is the best album created in my lifetime and it has turned me into the frogs biggets supporter. Get your hands on this CD and any other frogs music you can. By searching you will discover even wackier unreleased music from them on the web that you can order direct from the Frogs. Yes, the Frogs are not the band to take home to mom and dad, but that is exactly why they are a great band.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't read into it too much... just prepare to laugh, November 3, 2005

This review is from: It's Only Right & Natural (Audio CD)

It's not anti-gay... it's not cleverly disguised subversive wit... it just is what it is - spontaneous acoustic made up on the spot tunes with extremely hilarious tongue-in-cheek improvised lyrics delivered first-take that loosely revolve around a homosexual theme. If that bothers you then don't listen. If you're looking for something deeply intellectual then look elsewhere. If you want to laugh yourself senseless then buy this album. It sags a bit in places, but tunes like "I've Got Drugs (Out of the Mist)", "Hot C@*ck Annie", "Queen Boys", and "Baby Greaser George" never lose their novelty.
