 Love it! June 25, 2008

I first discovered FOC through a Paste Magazine sampler cd. Even then, the first time I heard Ladies of the World I thought "Eh..." and turned it before it even Got to the funny part, because I didn't realize it was meant to be a funny song - I thought it was just another typical r&b song. I only realized my error when my sister, who gets the same magazine, saw my little sticky note on the cover with a (-) next to the number that song went with, and said "I can't believe you don't like that song!" She started telling me about the song, and I realized I had no idea what she was talking about, and it sounded hilarious! I bought this cd 2 days later. I've had the cd about 2 weeks now, and I am still loving it! I do wish that Jenny was included, but I'm hopeful that another cd will be released, which I will happily buy. Also, anyone who hasn't seen the live stand up from hbo's One Night Stand, it's a must see..I love the whole freestyling bit that they do during Think About It..cracks me up every time. Too bad HBO hasn't realized what a gem they have in that performance, I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it were for sale.
 Joke gets old after awhile... June 23, 2008

At first listen, this sounds original, fresh and funny. But by the 6th track I was like "okay, I get it, now what?" Unfortunately the tired act just continued throughout the album. Never saw the show or whatever so perhaps I'm missing something but I didn't really like it all too much. But I can appreciate their creativity.
Extremely well done - smiled all along June 19, 2008
This translated from the show very well to a CD. Something was lost when Tenacious D made their album, the two man acoustic fury was missing.
The songs in Flight of the Conchords were almost album ready, so hearing them on the album is not a big leap. In fact, listening to the album lets you hear how clever and talented these guys really are. And as a music album, it's really well produced and composed. You do need to see the show first to understand the songs. One downside, one song is missing: "Brown paper, white paper, sticking together with the tape, the tape of love!" I like that one. Oh, also, "I'm not crying" is missing, but that's on the Distant Future.
Ridiculous Family Fun June 15, 2008
We all put this whole album on our ipods and listened to it for a month straight! Young, old, and in between loved the mellow satire and peppy beats. So many clever lyrical twists we've been quoting endlessly. We say to each other 'how can something so dumb be so clever?' and listen to it again. Deceptively smart vocals and a smooth mix of genre hopping tunes make me want to stop writing and go listen to it again...
So Funny! June 1, 2008
These 2 men, Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, not only have a unique way with words, they are also good singers too. They always have me cracking up, laughing so hard. I was happy to see this cd come out, after buying their first season show that had these songs in the show, but were not on the dvd separately.
