A pleasant surprise
S. Rhode | Anchorage, AK USA | 02/13/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I can hardly top the endorsement from Elfman himself, but I can vouch for the originality of the approach. These songs span a variety of genres, though they mostly take the originals in a more jazzy direction. The exception is "Nothing Bad Ever Happens," which ends up punkier than it ever was. The key to any good tribute song is being faithful to the spirit without slavishly copying the original. On this album, only "Little Guns" comes close to being a sound-alike -- and since it's a fun song anyway, that's fine. This is why the other Oingo Boingo tribute album, "Dead Band's Party," was mostly a disappointment, since too many songs were note-for-note recreations. Not the case here. This would be a listenable compilation even if it wasn't a tribute album."
