4.0 out of 5 stars Off-Center Masterpeice
Daniel Johnston and Jad Fair's album "It's Spooky" is indeed spooky, Jad and Daniel have very similar, strained childlike voices. The songs almost seem to be made up as they go along but this is not totally a bad thing.

The Drumming is erratic, the guitars are sometimes audibly out of tune, and the singing is often misplaced. Despite all this, this album is...

1.0 out of 5 stars unlistenable
If your idea of great music is out of tune guitars, incompetent drumming, and vocals done by a violent schizophrenic (unless he is medicated), and a guy who seems like he wishes he was still a kid, then this is for you..

This review is from: It's Spooky (Audio CD)
Daniel Johnston and Jad Fair's album "It's Spooky" is indeed spooky, Jad and Daniel have very similar, strained childlike voices. The songs almost seem to be made up as they go along but this is not totally a bad thing.

The Drumming is erratic, the guitars are sometimes audibly out of tune, and the singing is often misplaced. Despite all this, this album is an endearing classic of bedroom rock.

5.0 out of 5 stars musical black humor, December 16, 2009
This review is from: It's Spooky (MP3 Download)
This record is a classic: hilarious, musically horrible in the best sense, nutty like Lubitsch, irreverant like Lenny Bruce, unabashedly amateurish like noone else. Listening to this music is the best anti-depressant known to man or woman, perhaps second only to the Marx Brothers. Just sit back, put your preconceptions to rest and enjoy! This is a good one to END the evening with, not to BEGIN it. Sweet dreams!
