5.0 out of 5 stars Great Lyrics with Smart Jazz Harmonies, August 2, 1998

I know I shouldn't pick favorites, but this is probably the Bobs album I play the most -- all the humour you expect in the Bobs' lyrics, but also some of the strongest music I've heard them create. Of course, I'm partial to the jazz harmonies they use for many of the songs on this disc. If you like jazz-vocal groups, such as the Mel-Tones, Lambert Hendricks & Ross, the Singers Unlimited, and the Manhattan Transfer, then it's a good bet you will enjoy this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!!, August 28, 1999

This was my first Bobs' album. I was introduced to it when my friend played "Spontaneous Human Combustion" and "Sign my Snarlin' Doggie" for me over the phone. I loved the jazzy tempo and the harmonies (not to mention the humor), and went out and bought the album with my next allowance. This is a GREAT collection.

This was the Bobs first album after founder member/songwriter Gunnar Madsen left the group (he does appear as a guest background vocalist on three songs here). The loss of Gunnar was unfortunate, but they still managed to produce a good album. I love the songs "Mr. Duality", "Naming the Band", "Sign My Snarling Doggie" and "Sponataneous Human Combustion". Most of the other songs are also good, although not really Bobs "classics". Fans of the Bobs should dig it.
