So I am back from a bit of a hiatus. I have been way more interested in watching movies lately than listening to albums. I guess I was craving a bit more escapism than these albums were willing to give me. But now I am back and I forge ahead with this unknown little gem.
I, for one, had never heard of 10cc. Apparently, a lot of their songs appear in car commercials. The Book also says that this band has written the most ironic songs of all time. This made me a little wary, since I figured that ironic meant hugely pretentious. However, I was very pleasantly surprised.
This album is catchy and smart, especially in songs like "Worst Band in the World." It seems to use every instrument under the sun, but blended very well. Definitely one to check out.
RATING: 4/5
