2007's Best Album (That No One's Heard)
P. Lundquist | Chicago, IL USA | 07/04/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Come for the funny, stay for the surprising wit, musical talent, and melody. The dark lyrics and sunny tunes make you laugh, then make think, then make you smile because you've realized some immortal truth about the universe. Or something. I don't know. It's hard for me to judge this album objectively because of my familiarity with it, but I can't recommend it enough. I tell all my friends about this album, and they always tell me the same thing: they hear a couple of verses and crack up a little, thinking it's some kind of gimmick, then get smacked unexpectedly with a deep affection for the song, the writer, and anyone who happens to be in the room at the time. Put this one in your car stereo and it'll never come out."
