Well, that was quite unpleasant. I know I was supposed to get a thrill out of the kitschiness of this album, but when I heard "We were at the beach, everyone had matching towels" my mouth dropped open in horror. And not because I am scared of the Rock Lobster. Well, I am maybe a little bit.
I was equally horrified by their cover of "Downtown" where the singer attempted to be pouty and childlike. Was the whole thing supposed to be a joke, like Meatloaf? At least his songs were catchier. I mean, "There's A Moon In The Sky (Called Moon)?" I guess I am too much of an idiot to see through the idiocy of this album and appreciate its brilliance.
Ugh, two sucky ones in a row. Remember tomorrow is another day!
RATING: 2/5
