This is a pretty cool record. The lyrics are silly, but even if you don’t understand the wit because you don’t speak English or pay attention to words, you’ll still like this album because the music is chipper.
“Vacuum” doesn’t suck. It goes on about not being born in a vacuum cleaner. Really. Even at more than five minutes, it’s still fun. “Decoy” has good harmonies at the forefront, with the accompaniment quietly doing its job in the background. This song is about their complementary vocals.
“Sunday Stopped Honking” is a slower track and more thoughtful than the rest. It may not make you cry, but the potential is sure there. Maybe the racehorse Sunday Silence was the inspiration for this song.
The title track is at the end of the album. It has xylophone and some other leftovers. Although it’s not slapped together, it sounds like they had a bunch of cool shit they wanted to do on the album but never got around to doing. Of course this is ridiculous. It’s the band’s theme song, so obviously more thought was put into this track than any other. Maybe the band sees itself as an amalgamation of loose ends.
