  1. A hilarious effort loaded with satirical song parodies and rock & roll spoofs.
  2. Hearing twenty-one Lynch-penned songs back to back gets exhausting.
  3. This is a guy that more than understands the music he's goofing on-- he worships it.
  4. 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. Like many comedy albums, it delivers initial laughs, with few surprises for continual listening.
  6. 20
    Please, nothing like this again.
  7. Liam Lynch is about as funny as the plague, and even that had its moments in Monty Python. This doesn't have any.
