Unrelated to the music, but I've always really liked the album cover. It's what I imagine an LSD trip while playing Bubsy on the NES would look like.
Anyway, this is really fun. All the tracks hold at least some merit towards the overall enjoyment of the listening experience. Even the weaker tracks offer something. But the hits certainly do hit really hit you hard with that psychedelic and pop sugar rush. It knows when to tone it down with tracks like I Found A Whistle and ... read more
It's solid enough as an Indie record, it also has a few good hooks within this tracklist.

It's fairly refined and doesn't hamper on for too long as you take in the simple yet potent ... read more
You know, this album kind of surprised me. It's able to take risks for the sake of being a unique listening experience, and for the most part, it works in its favor. It gets you into a good mood through its bombastic and explosive instrumental performance. But don't be too mistaken, because there a few somber tracks littered across the runtime. Good ones might I add. The vocal performance is enjoyable, the singer knows when not to overstay their welcome in order to allow the ... read more
