Mighty Boosh, you say...?
Please may I extend my thanks and condolences for this review. Just remember it was for the greater good - you've listened so we don't have to and for that, sir, I salute you.
Thanks!
Love a good honest review. You've captured the questions I've asked myself: "What the-? Why the-? Oh, heck, who cares... this is good!"
From what I've heard so far, I'm definitely planning a purchase.
I hate comments about the review rather than the record but...
I kinda feel I need to say this, chiefly to get it off my chest.
On one hand, people (you, in this case) request a neutral reviewer rather than a fan to avoid partiality.
On the other, a neutral reviewer covering a release prompts complaints that they are ill-informed and know nothing.
Even when we find the middle ground and a reviewer - with a world of time on his/her hands - conducts thorough research, they are branded as passionless...
Rock and a comfortably-challenged place, anyone?
Beer (and Jäger) with the boys
You can't even begin to imagine. Non-stop fun for all the family. Well, maybe not ALL the family...
Je ne sais pas pourquoi...
Yay. Not just me then. The Naive New Beaters were probably my best 'discovery' of the day. Great fun. I don't know why they only seem big in La France but with these random UK appearances cropping up, I guess we'll be seeing more of them soon...

Really? It was track three on mine...
There certainly is a big difference between that track and, say, 'Who Knows Who Cares'. I found it quite refreshing that they haven't painted themselves into a corner though. Nothing's worse than getting an album and each song sounding the same as the last.
Have you seen them live? There's a lotta life in them there boys...
