    This is top-flight stuff, and not just because I needed to glancingly reference the band’s name before signing off.

    It's safe to say this is the most endlessly playable comedy album of the new millennium. [May 2008, p.95]
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    80
    Somehow, even after you know all the punchlines, the tunes are solid enough to still bear pressing ‘repeat’.
  4. Spin
    60
    Divorced from their HBO series, the songs have room to stretch a little, only occasionally sacrificing context. [May 2008, p.98]

    Stunningly original understated ironic musical parody that lampoons the two musicians in a band that are the biggest social losers since Charlie Brown came on the scene 50 years ago!… Expand

    Interesting and fun stuff. Can grate on you after a while, but a good listen the first few times! Good music as well as lyrics too.

    It's a good album, but anybody who's familiar with the band's live act (especially their HBO special) should realize that FOTC's comedy comes not from funny references but their perfect comic timing. They've sacrificed much of the awesome awkwardness of their live act for slick production, which kills much of the humor, like a funny stand-up comedian forced into a merely decent sitcom. Fans of the show will like it, but both the show and album suffer from this overproduction.… Expand

    Just like the show, this is TERRIBLE.
