3.0 out of 5 stars Avoid This Album, March 7, 2006

I have been a huge Richard Cheese fan since I heard him a few years ago. I own all of his albums. They swing, baby.

Here's the problem with SSotM: TBoRC -
It is not really a best of album. It's a hodge-podge of tracks. Included are:
*"Big Band Versions" of songs from his first (poorly produced) album with additional instruments dubbed over it...not dubbed well, either.
*A few sparse tracks from his middle 3 albums
*A couple of new tracks that are good, but not as good as his middle 3 albums
*A recycled cover from his list of "spoof" albums that don't really exist

If you are a completist and a fan, then buy this album.

If you are new to Dick, then I recommend the albums in this order:
I'd Like a Virgin
Tuxicity
Apertif for Destruction
Lounge Against the Machine

I have to say, I bought this CD on a Lark, thinking it would be OK, and (pardon the pun) cheesy. It is actually really good. Richard Cheese and his band Lounge Against the Machine takes popular songs from various genres and sings them lounge style. The effect is both impressive and slightly humorous.

This CD will not be for everyone, but if you are looking for a different take on your favorite songs, this is the CD for you.

I'll tell youse something...Richard Cheese is the most funny, lounge-lizzard style singer I'ver ever heard! For the love of God, country or money--I can not stop playing this disc! Snoop Dogg's [did I spell that right?], "Gin and Juice" is an absolute joy to hear! In fact, there's not a dogg in this pack of 'old tunes'. Well, you see, these are NOT old tunes at all, rather current songs by the likes of; Limp Bisquit, Nirvana, The Beastie-Boys, and many others--all re-invented, decontructed and/or manipulated by Mr. Cheese and his fabulous big band!
At times the music sweeps you away--then, you notice the oftimes bizzare lyrics--it's then you realize you have Richard Cheese playing. I whole-heartedly recommend, "The Sunny-Side of the Moon"! It's, ironically, the freshest music I've heard in years!
