Title: MORE OF THE SAME GREAT STUFF FROM YAZBEK!!
Review: I patiently waited for the release date to arrive. Playing the Full Monty soundtrack over and over, along with this band's first two discs. Finally, it's here! More catchy pop tunes. More horns this time around. And more lyrics to chuckle at or ponder over. Perhaps not quite as all-around excellent as the two previous efforts. Still, musically and lyrically head and shoulders above most of the "pop" that's out there today. Comparisons? Americanized XTC, jazzy Ben Folds, early Paul Simon wordiness. But, who else but David Yazbek could possibly ponder the questions, "Is it good for baseball? Is it good for the Jews?" and stick them in the chorus of a snappy cha-cha song, and make you think at the same time?
Is the review positive or negative?
