Yeah, I liked this more than I expected. It all felt like one big gimmick when it came out and I still can't stand dude's falsetto. Buuut... I kind of feel about this the way I feel about Steel Panther and Tenacious D. You get that it's all sort of a joke, but when the songs are good then it becomes really fun to be in on the joke with them. And some of the songs here reach that level. Would I rather just listen to AC/DC or Cheap Trick? Sure, most of the time. But I'd visit this again and I wasn't sure I was going to come out of the listening experience with that as the takeaway, so I guess you could say I am stepping out of the light and into The Darkness. There's just no chance a major publication didn't use that last line in one of their reviews at the time of the album's release. Zero chance.
