Customer Reviews

It's the Music that Matters
Concept albums can get really bogged down by over-reaching narratives. And if you try to follow the cartoon storyline for the new MotH CD, you'll probably get stuck or lost, even with a 2-page libretto, a 24-page B&W comic book and expressive song titles. Suffice it to say, the real focus is the music, which has an endearing 60s vibe rich with harmony singing and low-fi arrangements. The songs are infectious and catchy, and spin smoothly alongside anything by the Vaselines, the Pastels and most of the Elephant 6 brood. A bit strange, but a nice break from the mainstream.

Kretinous Kindercore Klaptrap
The sonic consequences of incest or poor parenting. Half-arse alt-crap that they actually want to flush down your ear on your own dime. You'll be doing the world a favor by saving the money you'd otherwise spend on this drivel and donating it to a children's hospital. If the music weren't ridiculous enough, the label itself is further tarnished by the buffoonery of Ryan Lewis' dimwitted activist antics: as unwelcome in one's head as they are in Athens, Georgia. Download some Mantovani, instead.

Comic Book (not) Included
this cd is absolutly awesome, and i agree with all the positive reviews for the most part. but a friend and I both ordered this album from {this website} and niether of us got the 24-page comic booklet that comes with the cd, im working with amazon to return it and see it was just a one time thing (err.. i mean two time thing), but i would suggest not expecting the comic-booklet with it. but the cd is awesome that it shouldnt even matter!
