scratches every itch  5 Stars
February 03, 2004
I haven't heard a record exactly like this in a long time...maybe ever. It rocks. It's creepy. It's smooth. It's pop. It's anarchy. It's totally unique. Totally nuts but in a really good way.

One of My Top Ten for 2003 5 Stars
February 03, 2004
A truly great record from an extremely talented lot. Tons of wry grins brought on by lyrics bathed in sonic bliss. Sharp sounding acoustic guitars that submit to powerful organs, wah-wah ripping solos in these songs that are at once, hilarious, dark, and musically dynamic. The song "Not the Funny One," about the character Michael from the 70's television show Good Times reminds us of Florida Evans' aspirations for her son while she simultaneously "rocked the no frills fro." Funny One starts with nasty organ intro, runs on a simple tasty riff for a bit, and eventually morphs into a hot guitar/organ powered jam. "Daddy's Little Girls, a song that celebrates how porn stars of yesteryear unselfishly tempered the pains of puberty for so many adolescent boys by vicariously offering their genitals for this priceless service. "Leaving (Sick & Sad), " a tasty piece of bittersweet melancholia that calms and erupts with equal power. Bust is the brainchild of B Howell who has written songs that will surely cause a head bob and/or LSD perma grin to appear with each literal and cryptic lyric. Pete Drungle wears many hats on this CD, keeping steady grooves on the skins and providing perfect piano and organ touches to songs (especially on Good Doctors). Jeff Young uses the songs, not gratuitously I might add, to put on a clinic on tasty Fender fills and solos. The CD was produced and engineered by ear canal expert Ken Heitmueller (ex Suddenly Tammy) who also contributes some nice low end thump. Uniquely excellent.
