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

    Pulling off the high-wire act of musical comedy this well deserves an unabashed kudos.
  3. PopMatters

    If you’re not spending your days gnawing on your sofa pillows waiting for the new season of their program to premiere, Flight of the Conchords will probably appease you no questions asked.

    It's safe to say this is the most endlessly playable comedy album of the new millennium. [May 2008, p.95]

    The music is clever and catchy enough to give it merit for repeated listens. Buy the DVD first to get the full story and then pick this up for road trip sing-alongs.

    Flight of the Conchords ultimately succeeds apart from its parent television show because it’s a modest comedy album.
  7. The Boston Phoenix

    But as a musical concern, the Conchords can’t hold a candle to [Tenacious] D, a shortcoming that’s much more apparent on this homonymous CD than it is on TV.

    Stunningly original understated ironic musical parody that lampoons the two musicians in a band that are the biggest social losers since 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

    This is a pretty good mix of songs featured on FOTC's HBO show. If you've heard any of the band's live recordings, this album This is a pretty good mix of songs featured on FOTC's HBO show. If you've heard any of the band's live recordings, this album pales in comparison, but it is interesting to hear a more polished Bret and Jemaine. Great album for fans, but if you aren't already hip to FOTC probably not the place I'd recommend starting.… Collapse

    It's a good album, but anybody who's familiar with the band's live act (especially their HBO special) should realize that 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
