It's always fun to reach an album that doesn't take itself too seriously, especially with what we have looming on the horizon (Swiss industrial music, heaven help us). I didn't think this was as good as Licensed to Ill, but I still had fun with this one.
Okay, so it's a little obnoxious. Actually, it's more than a little obnoxious, particularly with tracks like Five Piece Chicken Dinner. Still, it's interesting spotting all of the sampling and some of the lyrics are quite funny.
This reminds me of a creative writing class I took in college, where we had to write found poems. They can turn out pretty cool, although they are never as satisfying as pieces you created all yourself.
RATING: 3/5
