This six song, six music video, limited Record Store Day release is a thing of its own. With ups and downs and spring-de-loop noises topped with vocals that linger between talking and trying to sing, it’s an accomplishment to simply get through the album.

This six song, six music video, limited Record Store Day release is a thing of its own. With ups and downs and spring-de-loop noises topped with vocals that linger between talking and trying to sing, it’s an accomplishment to simply get through the album. I realize the story-book-style lyrics are intended to make you laugh, but at the point of “got the STD but I never had the sex,” I feel like I’m in high school again cringing through yet another ‘wink-wink nudge-nudge’ joke. The music videos with small bits of cleverly used stop-action and eye-spazzing filmstrips helped the album in no way. It’s an album few people will appreciate, but kudos to them for laughing when no one else will.
