Not nearly as good as Entering Marion

(3 out of 5 stars)
"This album is even more hit-and-miss than Entering Marion. Only a few songs (most notably "The Juice a la Seuss") really hit the funny bone; the rest seem overlabored ("Type A", Spores) or just too long for the slight subject matter (Figaro Todd, Helium).And for some reason, the lyrics to "Robert Moses" don't stick in my head at all. I had to listen to the song 5 times just to figure out what he was trying to poke fun of... At any rate, it's very literally a "sophomore" album-- hopefully the next few albums will graduate John Forster into the realm of the great comedy songwriters. For now, this is mediocre, with a few highlights."
