On holiday in Cairns a few years ago, we went into a CD shop and asked them to recommend something Australian. This purchase was a winner - we laughed until we cried. These guys are brilliant in taking musical styles and genres (from ACDC to Motown) and turning them on their heads. Subversive lyrics offer great commentary on social, economic and political targets. Favourite tracks ? 'Gonna Make you Happy Tonight' - anyone with an XBox, Wii, Playstation will guffaw at this one; 'Hot Girl in the Comic Shop' - considering what an impression hot babes make at ComicCon and the enduring comic shop humour in "The Big Bang Theory", it's right on the money; "Always get into Stuff" - being cool 101 for geeks.

By far the funniest album I've heard in years.
19 Sep 2005
Format:Audio CD
I made the mistake of listening to this album for the first time while driving in my car, and it was nearly the death of me. The end of the first track made me laugh so hard I nearly ran off the road.
This album is fantastic, and by far Tripod's best work. If you're a geek, you MUST own it. It's not that non-geeks won't like this album too, but a lot of the jokes are slightly esoteric, so geeks will appreciate them more. All in all though, Middleborough Rd is a lot more accessible to American audiences in particular, since there aren't nearly as many regional Australian references in the songs than in, say, Tripod's Triple J 'Song-in-an-Hour' challenges, or a lot of their other work.
Middleborough Rd is a true musical gem. Not only are the lyrics hilarious and the songs extremely catchy, but the music is good too. In particular, Tripod hone their signature three-part harmony to absolute perfection in songs like 'Let's Take A Walk' and 'Gonna Make You Happy Tonight'.
In short, buy this album. You absolutely won't regret it.

When I heard tripod's music for the first time on Qantas, I couldn't wait to get home to buy the album. A cd filled with humor, catchy music, and inner geek pride. It's truly a great cd
