AndyC.Oct 8, 20017It's a decent album, and if I hadn't heard what they're capable of in their middle two albums "Hot" and "Perennial Favorites", I may have rated it a bit higher. As it is, it's a bit of a disappointing return to a style similar to their first album rather than a furthering of the other two. As it stands, their best album is Perennial Favorites.

This disc is all over the map, in terms of style, energy, and overall execution.... the band sounds fine but too often lapses into cuteness with songs that don't hold up beyond novelty appeal.

Funky is the surprising quality of this work, which is why the album stands out among the group's past efforts.

Bedlam Ballroom is one hell of a hot musical night out on the town.... the sort of jazzy, bluesy stew that made the Zippers so cutting in the first place -- untrendy roots music that somehow got trendy again at the end of the 20th century.
