Title: Horrendous fake swing
Review: Most of the people criticizing this album are taking issue over CPD's mean-spirited lyrics, as if this is a 90s defamation of innocent swing (oh, and "Mack the Knife" and "Her Tears Flowed Like Wine" were such cuddly tunes). But CPD has another reason to be criticized: they are foul musicians without a sense of rhythmn or unity to their playing, yet teenagers seemed to be convinced they are listening to "real" swing. Kids, go out and buy any one of the following: Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Charlie Barnet, Duke Ellington, Louis Prima, Bennie Moten, Gene Krupa, etc. and toss your CPD CDs out the damn window (believe me, you'll never listen to them again)! Start a revolution in taste in swing. We badly need it.
