Pretty spot on review. I also have this album. I thought the same thing to myself about how amazingly legit tracks 2-6 are (actually, I enjoy how the vocalist slides and wavers his notes in track 1, but that crazy robotic effect adds no value) listening to the album in my car. It’s a shame the last 4 tracks on the album aren’t really up to the same standard of all those preceding it.

In the words of Rob Reiner when reading Spinal Tap’s reviews to the band… “The review of “Shark Sandwich”, which is merely a 2 word review, says “Shit Sandwich”.

Enough said.

I don’t think there’s a need to even comment on the band’s name. There are several silly names for bands or even singers themselves but it’s their freedom to choose what they want to use.

… you could have just written “This album is so full of shit, that even though it occasionally smells nice, I don’t want to review it”.

What, pray, is an “occasionally addictive” tune in a mostly “shitty” record?

Does this mean that parts of a tune are addictive? Like, “In December drinking Horchata” is so addictive but “I feel psychotic in a balaclava” is not.

Or does this mean that you find these tunes addictive only after certain time spans in your life? Addictive for, let’s say, a week then shitty. Then back to addictive after the release and inevitable failure of your own album?

Jesus, Conrad! If your review were a knee it would have jerked itself into a fucking fracture.
