    Gregg Gillis has plenty to say about music. What he has to say about life, which is that "I'd Rather" equals "Gimme Some Lovin'," remains more limited. Nevertheless, sequences here give me hope.

    Aside from these conceptual assertions that it evokes, Feed the Animals is a good record. Though it's broken up into 14 tracks, it functions best (and as Girl Talk intends) as a single 53-minute mash-up.

    Sadly, Feed The Animals blends commercial US rap with rock classics with so little charm or skll, that even Jive Bunny is slightly annoyed you've used his name in vain. [Nov 2008, p.96]

    Immaculate blend. The term mash-up does this genre a disservice - nothing is mashed at all. One of my all-time faves - and SO ACCESSIBLE.

    If this sounds like something you might like, snap it up right away. It's an endlessly entertaining party starter of an album. It's hard to explain how well this stuff works, you have to hear it for yourself.… Expand

    If rapping over "come on Eileen" and other errr 'poppy' tunes is your thing, then this is the album for you. Not for me though, I think it's plain rubbish.… Expand
