The Way To Salvation
29 Dec 2006
Format:Audio CD
I have pleasant warm memories of those late 80's/early 90's bands who excelled at intricately humorous songwriting. King Missile, Ween, Fred Lane, Half Japanese ... they weren't afraid to build a song around a rather absurd notion and sprinkle in line after line that made me smile, hence creating years of repeat listening enjoyment. JHC don't try to shift reality Adult Swim style like those aforementioned bands, instead starting with a more grounded presence in the everyday and adding wry observations that make me question our everyday social practices. There are at least a handful of songs on this disc that earn a multitude of listens, and for that I applaud. "Happy Me" is my current favorite, mixing the cultural themes of over-medicating our 'deficiencies' and the seemingly dispassionate yet introspective search for adult companionship. It also has a perfectly executed slow reveal which I promise not to ruin. The more obvious "Connecticut's For F*cking" lives up to the title's promise, especially if you're familiar with America's favourite drive-thru state. "Vampire Girls" and "Nipples" also deal with all-too-real social issues that seem unavoidable in today's narcissistic society. There's a consistent theme at play here, as the lead singer can't quite believe that men are such willing (and easy) targets for females intent on achieving their own goals at the expense of others. That's one lesson I'll take away from this very satisfying creative effort.
Superb...

Smart, funny lyrics. Great tunes. I listened to this album twice back to back, and had already started raving about it to friends before the first play through had finished. I really hope they produce a follow up.
I would produce track by track reviews, but if I did, that would distract you from buying it and listening to it yourself, which you really ought to be doing.

Good For Occasional Listening
2 Oct 2008
Format:Audio CD
To me this album is good for occasional listening. I couldn't listen to it every day but certainly like having it in my collection. It is like a comedic ska album. Lots of horns in just about every song. Personally its not my type of music, so that is probably why I'm rating it only 3 stars and only listen to it occasionally. If you are into this type of music then I'm sure you would love it as it crosses over to me pretty well. I would buy the album again and if they have any future albums consider buying them.
It is all funny and up beat. So if looking for something to put you in a better mood could work. I think my favorite track is 11, though the first track is their radio song and the reason I got the album.
