    A hilarious effort loaded with satirical song parodies and rock & roll spoofs.
  2. Rolling Stone
    80
    Hearing twenty-one Lynch-penned songs back to back gets exhausting.
  3. Nude As The News
    60

  4. Stylus Magazine
    32
    Like many comedy albums, it delivers initial laughs, with few surprises for continual listening.
