I won't mention any names, but there are certain people, when they get to hell, who will have to have an entire extra circle built just to house them for thier special crimes. The guys at FOX who cancelled Arrested Development, for example, will be housed there, as will everone involved with the Larry the Cable Guy movie. Among these soulless creatures you would also find the rats over at Hollywood records who stopped pressing of one of the Dead Milkmen's best albums, 'Not Richard, but Dick'. If you could check out tracks like 'Jason's Head' , 'Let's Get the Baby High' , and 'The Woman who was Also a Mongoose' , you could see for yrself how good it is. But you can't, and so you'll have to shell out twenty-something bucks plus S&H just to get it used off of Amazon or ebay, but its worth it.

This review is from: Not Richard But Dick (Audio CD)

one of the two great, "lost" milkmen albums, this was originally intended to be an ep so they could sell it at a cheaper price. it should have been too, because it clocks in at under 30 minutes, which technically qualifies it as such, but the blood suckers at Hollywood records still sold it as an lp. as a final kick in the teeth, they refused to allow any songs from "not richard..." or "soul rotation" to appear on the restless greatest hits compilation "death rides a pale cow" or "chaos rules: live at the trocadero," although our crafty dairy purveyors managed to sneak "if i had a gun" as an unlisted track on the latter. all of this is a shame, because this is a terrific set, bookended by two amazing songs; "lego my eggo" absolutely rips, and holds up as one of their best openers, while "the woman who was also a mongoose" is THE best closer on any of their records. other highlights are joe's mellow jam "not crazy," the pop-perfect "jason's head," and rods' "the infant of prague customized my van." this is also dean's favorite album, and it's held in high regard by rod and joe as well. hopefully, one day Hollywood will re-release "soul rotation" and "not richard..." like Wind-Up (formerly Grass records) re-released those first two Wrens albums; these two deserve it just as much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Under-rated Album, June 10, 2004

This album is one that took no time to grow on me. I would always buy the Milkmen albums the day they were released. I thought this was an instant classic. "I Dream of Jesus" is hilarious. Maybe my maturity was in step with DM, but I was glad their style evolved from album to album, not simply rehashing the same songs each time out. This album is tight, and I rank it with BIG LIZARD and BEELZEBUBBA as best albums. It's under 30 minutes and continues their perusal of religion, philosophy, and the woman who was also a mongoose.
