Negative Positive
Title: Certainly not your traditional pop album
Review: This album has got some depth to it, that's for certain. At first I wasn't certain if I was listening to a joke or the musical version of Jack T. Chick. Ultimately I realized it was a joke and a fine one, at that. The lyrical content of some songs doesn't pull punches; "United Nations" sounds like a far-right militia theme song, and the more humorless out there will NOT find it funny.But there's some pretty interesting stuff. I'm not a fan of experimentalism in general, but Conn smartly refrains from doing nothing but "experimenting", sparing us a torturous album. He blasts the Heaven's Gate cultists ("California"), wannabe stars ("Baby Man"), rich-kid jerks ("White Bread"), and the more extreme edges of the right (the aforementioned "United Nations.") This is a good, fun, genre-jumping album and one I fully recommend.
