5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect!, July 24, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Real Men (Audio CD)
I just dug up this CD from my older CD box the other day. I forget what an incredible listening pleasure I get from it. It is such a good example of good art: varied elements that complement each other, creating colors of profound meaning-- even if it isn't clear upon an initial listening. For example, with the Party piece, is he saying that the only good party is a party that doesn't exist, or is it a statement about the dangers of imagination or laziness?

Just when you think john S. Hall is on the verge of self-loathing, he picks you right back up with morbid commercials or banal yet intriguing cancer metaphors. I just wish he would have made more CD's like this-- i don't think that his band (king missile) ever quite achieved the delicate mergence of spoken word and music like it is presented here.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of a kind, John S. Hall and Kramer at their best!, January 14, 2003

This review is from: Real Men (Audio CD)
This is an awesome CD. You can use this CD for so many things. Just for simple listening pleasure, for hilarious samples, or play it to mess with your friends or enemies minds.

5.0 out of 5 stars King Missile to the Nth degree - outstanding., March 29, 1999
This is one of my all-time favorites. Wicked, imaginative lyrics; very cool music and effects.
