4.0 out of 5 stars Never believe music critics..., September 15, 2002

I guess I must be in a minuscule un-intellectual minority, since I have never managed to file away this "comedy" CD after two spins through my CD player as Mr. DeRogatis suggests. Rather than dismissing this CD as another "comedy" album, I would point out John Hall's humor is more satire than comedy. Who knows...perhaps the aforementioned critic missed the literature class where the Professor explained the difference between the two genres. No matter really. Being a stubborn Irish sort that appreciates satire (O! Jonathan Swift!) I'll keep listening to the CD. Give it a try and prove yet another music critic wrong.

These guys kill me!!! The quirky lyrics are a favorite. I hadn't heard them since junior high, so it was a happy finding here! Thanks for the speedy shipment, and the CD is in fantastic condition as stated.

4.0 out of 5 stars late 30s, maybe mid 30s...., June 22, 2008

Aside from John Hall's humor (which is excellent and offbeat) this album also features some pretty good rock music to go with it. I mean, it's not sensational, but it's cool...kinda grungy in some parts. But you don't get that with every track. Like I said though, Hall is still very amusing. The hunor is somewhat hard to describe It's not goofy like Weird Al, let's just say. Like someone said earlier, it's more satire...silly satire certainly, but dry like that. Subversive. ANYways, good CD, I found it in a library book sale for 50 cents, but you can totally spend more on it. It's worth it. It will make you feel alright.
