    The Good the Bad and the Funky is the first new album from the Tom Tom Club in eight years, and it's absolutely remarkable. Not only does it stand up to any of their previous releases, it may just be their best, most focused work ever -- and that's a lot to live up to, given the band's history.

    While all of the songs are strong, they don't necessarily sound like they belong on the same album.

    The new Tom Tom Club album is a lot like its title: a pop-culture reference whose impact fades upon inspection.
