    Amazing album. For those of you looking for another "d-d-dont stup the beat", look elsewhere. Junior Senior's style changes with each song, and the result is an impressive blend of music that is consistent throughout the CD. A must-buy for anyone who calls themselves a fan of music, IMO. The lyrics are amazing, I cant tell you whether or not this is a concept album or not, but the Amazing album. For those of you looking for another "d-d-dont stup the beat", look elsewhere.

The lyrics are amazing, I cant tell you whether or not this is a concept album or not, but the songs definately have a story behind them, regardless of whether or not they all link together. And the bonus EP just seals the deal, this is an amazing package any way you look at it.… Expand

    Wow! This is so flamboyantly terrible. If you have the opportunity to remove Barney's sing along from your player, take the opportunity to listen to Junior Senior. While the beats are not bad, they certainly cater to a niche market of blind happiness and lyrical drivel.

    Vomit Skittles onto my checkered Vans. I'll reconsider if someone slips this all sly into a party's GangStarr/Eric B DJ set. Or a nice Stetsasonic mashup.

    Verry good follow up to 2005's D-D-Don't Stop The Beat. Fans won't be deceived.

    The b-b-beat continues on Hey Hey My My Yo Yo. In fact, the songs here are more catchy, and yes, more fun.

    Hey Hey is sharper than "D-Don’t," filled out and throbbing like soul should be, not burdened with the entropy of a smattered ramshackle collection all heart and no brains.

    The twosome's gleeful confections are more than a little over-the-top, but repeat listens will reveal some truely indelible melodies beneath those stylistic frills. [17 Aug 2007, p.73]
