Hearing these guys on youtube and pirating their music from file sharing is just not putting any money in their pocket. If you like to laugh and you have an off beat sense of humor this music is surely for you. The price is right, buy it. "binary solo!...000100...."
 Hilarious! January 21, 2008
I bought this as a gift for my father-in-law off his wishlist. He was very excited to receive it, and he played it for us while we were there. My husband and I both found the songs to be hilarious despite never seeing the TV show, and we added the show to our DVR list as soon as we got back home. Now we're hooked on the show and planning on buying the CD for ourselves soon.
If you're not familiar with Flight of the Conchords, they write humorous songs that sound surprisingly "normal." The band is made up of two men from New Zealand. The TV show (on HBO) follows their attempt to make their band successful in New York City.

This is, undoubtedly, one of the most funny things of it's kind out there. I myself never caught the show (no cable...) but was introduced to this duo by the singer of my band via a youtube.com spot. The dry, sometimes plodding humor these two use, I find, is nothing short of hysterical.
As EPs go this one is fairly average length. However, the amount of comedy these two pack into that short time is well worth the expenditure. Most of my personal favorite songs from Flight of the Conchords are missing from this EP, but there are still some very funny songs here. "If You're Into It" I hadn't heard before but laughed out loud when I heard it here. I wouldn't have been disappointed if "Banter" had been replaced by an actual song, but it's still good for a smile.
It's a good EP to snack on while we're all waiting for the full-course meal due out sometime this year.
Great EP January 13, 2008
Although only five songs, this EP is well worth the price. Each song is fantastic and banter is a real laugh. The bit about the bank is so true. Can't wait for the full-length album. These guys make me proud to be a kiwi, ka pai lads!
Flight of the EP January 12, 2008
The Flight of the Conchords is a fantastic televison show that has turned on most of the bands fans from America. Unfortunately, this is only an EP and you do not get more music from the television show or their back catalog from New Zealand. Comical music yet catchy hooks make it a fun listen, though. And unlike a lot of comedy music, these tunes don't tire as quickly.
