 Awesome! July 8, 2008

Jemaine and Bret are so ridiculously awesome all efforts at praise kinda seem to me pithy, bland and "current". Their band, their TV show, their act and this record is/are/whatever....simply incredible. I knew I loved their songs with the intensity of a thousand suns probably about 1 minute after first hearing them. Totally. Buy this CD. Buy their DVD. Do whatever it takes to invest in their incredible talent. Werd.
No "Cheer up Murry"?! July 7, 2008
Cheer up Murry is my favorite track of their's and they didn't include it! But the production is top notch. When they want to sound 70's soul the production really nails it. It'd be a decent record even if it weren't funny.

The really funny thing is, that the humor aside, this is just a really good album. (CD... project... whatever...)
If you aren't listening to the lyrics and just have it on the background you'll find the rhythms and sounds a little retro and old school sometimes.. but just extremely well done.
Unlike lots of comedy music acts, these guys are actually incredibly talented musicians with an incredible gift for song writing and musicality.
It's true what a couple reviews have said, that much of it is funnier and fresher in sound and and feel in the much more pared down live acoustic versions.
But it is kind of apples and oranges to me... and it all makes a nice salad.
I've found myself humming one or another of these songs for the past two weeks and, again-and-again - it is what I reach for to put in while I'm just surfing the web or whatever.
Often I'm not even listening intently to the lyrics and laughing any more... I'm just not thinking about it and grooving to the groove.
Best CD I've bought in a long time really.

I have enjoyed hte Flight of the Conchords for a while now, but being able to hear all their great songs in your car is the best. Every song on this CD is FANTASTIC. I can't stop talking about it to friends. I have already purchased 4 of these CDs for gifts. If you are having a hard day, just pop this cd in your cd player and get ready to laugh your head off.

What can you say - if you're a fan, you'll "get it."
The show is great, so when my son saw this, we grabbed it. An absolute riot. It does lose a little something when you can't see them singing these songs with a serious, deadpan delivery. But, my imagination is pretty good. Everytime I hear "Bowie" the Bowie dream sequences pops into my head. I crack up.
Watch the show - buy the album.
