if you are a fan of frenzal this album is a must have! it shows how far frenzal have come from their first garage-recordings to now, top notch sounds. every album of frenzal is a must have by the way, and this one is one of the best, behind meet the family and not so tough now, but very close. the humorous lyrics are done only the way that Jay can do it, and the guitar from lindsay is amazing. there is a new bassist too on this album, who is the son of S. Aus newsreader for all you aussies. to cap it off, buy buy buy!!

I still cant believe these guys are still going.It seems like they have been around forever.Not that thats a bad thing,I just thought their Livers would have given in by now.Alongside The Living End Frenzal are one of the longest standing Punkish bands around,And they still havent dissapointed.Ill admit A mans not a camel wasnt great but still worth paying 20 bucks for.But this is by far the best they have done in years.Its hard to listen to some of these tracks without rolling over in laughter,Namely Russell crowes band,whod be a cop and I went out with a hippy and now i love everyone except for her (the latter being my personal Favourite).There are on the other hand a few tracks that touch on serious subjects Lead poisoned jean,White world and all the kids are having kids but are also written in typical frenzal Fashion.Without doubt the best since Meet the family and definately worth buying.

This album is awsome and I regained my faith in the almighty Rhomb. (because they went a bit down-hill after 'not so tough now') This album is funny and good. and if your pissed it's even better.
I cant belive they got rid of lex tho.

This CD is great! I bought it not knowing if it would be good or not, I had only downloaded a song from www.fatwreckchords.com and I must say, this is one of the best albums of 2003, and Frenzal's best CD to date! Buy this CD you'll love it...first download "Punisher", "Ballchef", and...uhhhh..."Lead Poison Jean"...then buy it.

Frenzal Rhomb returns with another album of great Aussie punk. The songs on 'Shut Your Mouth', their previous album, showed hints of evolution beyond punk; they were fleshed out and more developed than previous Frenzal work, most likely a result of the album being released on a Sony label in Oz. On 'Sans Souci', Frenzal have abandoned their recent ways and returned to what they do best: cramming an album full of funny, fast songs. The new record has sixteen tracks and clocks in at just over a half hour. Jay's lyrics are as sharp and scathing as ever: see 'Russell Crowe's Band...' for his take on celebrity hubris and musicianship. The songs are fast, vulgar, and most are under 2 minutes in length. The album is peppered with funny samples as well, keeping the Frenzal humor intact. A solid release from a bunch of guys who are almost too cool to be vegetarian!
