5.0 out of 5 stars Bobs at their Largest Ever, February 24, 2000

"My I'm Large" represents the Bobs at their absolute Largest. In their later stuff, they seem determined to make a capella performance sound like there really are instruments there. If I want to listen to things that sound like instruments, well, I'll go and get an album with instruments on it.

This album is filled with simply incredible a capella performance by incredibly talented singers of what is some of the most intelligent, ingenious lyrics every put together. "Helmet" ALWAYS relaxes me. "Banana Love" always excites me! "Little Red Riding Hood" is a sensitive treatment of the male conflict between lust and gentleness, as well as the most interesting Bass solo I have heard.

I have listened to this album more than any other album I have ever owned. You do not own a more ingenious, musically interesting album. If you think you do, please e-mail me the name of the challenger, I can always use another great recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top notch music, a capella or otherwise, June 30, 1999

This review is from: My I'm Large (Audio CD)

The Bobs have created a wonderful mix of humorous originals and startling covers. They have managed in this album to create some of the all-time best a capella songs, and their performances on such old standards as "Little Red Riding Hood" and "You've Really Got a Hold on Me" advertise for them better than anyone else ever could. This is the one album that I can safely give to any of my friends, because no matter what their taste in music, they invariably love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars I wanna beat my breast like an ape man., July 31, 2005

This was the second album by acappella group the Bobs. It was a big improvement over their first album. Gunnar Madsen and Richard Greene really improved as songwriters in the four years between albums. "Helmet" and "Banana Love" are still popular favorites at the Bobs live performances, and so is their great cover version of the Miracles song "You Really Got a Hold on Me". One of my personal favorites is "Johnny's Room", possibly because it has my name in the title, but it's a very funny song besides that. If you are a fan of acappella singing, or funny songs, you will probably enjoy this album.
