"For fans of the 'q who have transitioned into the wonderful world of parenthood, this album is an absolute godsend. Everything that makes the 'q one of the greatest bands in the world is encapsulated in this cd...great hooks, hilarious lyrics, and, yes, a heartfelt joey song or two. Your youngins will get hours of fun from the Tommy tour-de-force "music lesson", while Terry's piano workout on "last stop brattleboro" is vintange, vintange 'q! And is there a more beautiful song in this world than Joey's album closer, "Sleep"? A great, great album by a great, great band."
Crazy songs from the craziest great band in history

"Even though, at first glance, "You're Nice People You Are," may seem a shoddy collection of throwaway tracks, if you throw away your expectations you will find a delightful collection of inconsequential songs. In fact, that last sentence could sum up NRBQ's entire career, but that's what people love about them. As usual, they play with many different styles, including country, jazz and folk. This being a children's album, there are whimsical songs about everything from sleeping to tumbleweeds. This is a really fun album with some excellent songs. Another worthy entry in the catalog of the most underrated American band in history."
