This first release by the California-based contains songs best described as percolating, hyperactive cartoon hardcore, colored with a noticeable bit of influence. All the songs on this album are frantically fast and very short; over half the selections here have durations under two minutes, and only the instrumental number is longer than three minutes. Most of the tunes here have agreeably goofball lyrics that are often only semi-intelligible. Chucklesome touches such as dog-barking vocals in a quote from ' instrumental in cuckoo clock noises in and a rubber ducky solo in help keep the songs firmly tongue in cheek. 's ' and are given the same dizzy treatment as everything else here. This album is good, crazy fun and worth a listen. ~ David Cleary
