5.0 out of 5 stars Good, funny stuff, April 22, 2002

This is one of the few "funny" CDs that never loses it's appeal to me. You can actually listen to it after you have stopped being so amused by the lyrics & think "Wow! This is a really catchy, heartfelt song (Hey, the man sounds convincing when he sings about Pizza Rockets)!" Basically, if you could package sheer, unadulterated giddyness onto an album, it would be James Kochalka Superstar's Monkey vs. Robot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Put down the gun, Kurt Cobain!, October 6, 2002

A buddy of mine played this for me when it came out a few years ago, and I've been reciting the lyrics since. James K. gets real with his childlike yet lewd rhymes and throws in a dash of "catchy tune" for good measure. The most-played song on the college stations is obviously the title track; but I guarantee that as good as "Monkey versus Robot" is, that's neither the best song nor the best part of the album! The comic insert alone is worth buying this album... If you don't think so, you can "punch the clock!"

4.0 out of 5 stars You are not worthy..., January 2, 2002

James Kolchaka is indeed a superstar, and if you don't know, you had better ask somebody. You may have seen his art (such as his short "Hulk vs. the rainstorm" for Marvel comics, but to get the full effect of JKS, you need to listen to his music.
While it would be foolhardy to say that this is one of the greatest albums ever (considering the amount of time left, in the grand scale of things) it's definitely better than anything you currently own.
The CD opens with "Bad Astronaut" and hilarity ensues. The title track and "Hockey Monkey" are also instant faves. The only bad thing about this album is that once people begin to hear about it, people will buy it, and then JKS will wind up like Nirvana... over-played, under-appreciated, and most likely dead. Do James and the rest of the world a favor, and stay away from this album. I never want to have to utter the phrase, "James Kochalka was so much better before he sold out." Because after that, it's just a hop, skip and a jump to him opening for Hall & Oates at the County Fair.
Go buy the new Britney Spears album instead. I hear it rocks.
