Product Description

Look out! There's a monster coming! Just kidding, folks! Brace yourself for full- bore fun as the Flying Fish Sailors explore UFO's, monsters, cannibalism, the world-wide flu epidemic, canal barges, moving trucks, and discuss agrarian and crustacean themes. It's a wacky, hilarious folk extravaganza! The Flying Fish Sailors continue their cross-genre evolution of folk music, comedy songs, celtic music, and art rock! This is the hard stuff, so don't say we didn't warn you!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are looking for something different, this is it!, December 13, 1999

By	A nameless fan (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

Echoes of Zappa, Parliament/Funkadelic, Fairport Convention, and...Weird Al. A highly enjoyable collection of tunes drawn from disparate influences and crafted into a sound that is truly one of a kind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Time!, January 17, 2004

By	J. Lambert "Lambowolf" (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are getting bored with the music that is coming out today. Tired of Britney? Christina? The Boy Bands? Or more of the crap that record companies want to shove down our throats.

These guys are your escape! Wonderful, head moving, beer drinking songs, to help you get through this thing called life!
Exploring themes of Moving, UFO Abductions, Caffiene Fits, and Dealing With Cannibals. Sounds like someone was having one very bad day! However, you just can't help but to laugh. Irony, what a wonderful thing!

By A Customer

This album continues a pattern of excellence that I have come to expect from the Flying Fish Sailors. This album makes a tasteful fusion of humor and musicianship that is uncommon in this day in age. I especially enjoy the combination of old songs and new songs; all are masterfully executed.

I would encourage the artists themselves to put their other albums for sale online. Congratulations guys!
