    By turns alluring, obnoxious, and laugh-out-loud-funny.

    Lynch... crams Fake Songs with parodies and toss-offs that make Weird Al seem like James Thurber. [9 May 2003, p.76]

    The spoofs are pretty much just lazy, fooling-around-in-the-studio exercises, which also holds true for most of the non-fake songs on Fake Songs.
  5. Uncut

    Based around some laughably accurate and truly entertaining pastiches of artists including Bjork, Bowie and the Pixies, the rest of the album is pure filler. [Aug 2003, p.100]
