The Bran Flakes “I Have Hands”

Albums such as this one are so much fun. Lots of sampling, keyboards and goofiness. If you think it’s funny that the pirate movie was rated ARRRRRRRRR because of too much booty, then this is the album for you.

“Rodeo Butterfly” is like a nonthreatening version of something DJ Shadow would do. Finally, music that takes the drugs for you so you don’t have to deal with the paranoia after the record stops!

“Stumble Out of Bed” samples, you guessed it, “9 to 5” by Dolly Parton. It’s no “Jolene,” but it’s still good fun. I have to say that 2 minutes and 51 seconds has never seemed so long, though. Maybe I do need the drugs. “Marchy March” reminds me of “21st Century Girl” by Pizzicato Five. It has the same 1970s horns to be sure.

“Don Knotts” is 26 seconds on someone saying “Don Knotts.” At first I was disappointed, but then I realized that there’s nothing you can do to showcase Don Knotts better than saying his name. He’s already awesome. “The Girl That I Used to Be” has a good beat.

All in all, there are 30 tracks, and the song titles should help you figure out what is the best.
