Title: Old-New-Old Stuff From the Johns From NY!
Review: Don't get me wrong. I'm not a musical Yes-Man. I don't throw 5-Stars at an album just because I like the band. But, I am giving this album 5-stars even though I found it a little lacking. However, I did not find it lacking in quality. Rather, in surprises. See, if you are any kind of TMBG fan, then you've probably heard at least 15 of these songs already. Great songs, mind you, but not unfamiliar. I was hoping there would be more fresh unheard material on here, but alas, twas not to be. Even the funky Flash "Games" were over-previewed on the website. Also, the running time of 33 minutes left me gasping for more. Still, this is a children's album and, as such, it works. The songs are funny, sweet, unsentimental, and funky-fly. After hearing umpteen bland, boring, uninspired children's albums, this one definitely leads the pack. Pick it up, take it home, clap your hands, stomp your feet and jump in the air.
Is the review positive or negative?
