Day 96 and the first album I had to stop listening to. It's like a soundtrack to a musical that I don't know if it exists and, if it does, never want to see. Something to play at a social event if you want people to leave.

1.5 stars. I have heard of the band but not their music. No wonder why they are hardly mentioned these days or have their music played like other bands from the early 80s. I had to take a look to make sure I was playing the right album because, honestly, this seemed like a joke, as if the band was spoofing the genre with the awful singing. It is bewildering how it is included in the 1,001 albums.

I mistakenly thought it was ELO and when they started playing I thought man why do they suck so bad? Even the audience at times sounded a bit unsure about clapping after a song ended. I think I even heard people leaving for the exits.

I get a little worried whenever one of these albums is from some post-2000 rock band that I have never heard of, because there has to be a good reason why that is so. Now having heard one of their albums, if I never hear from them again I would be okay with that.

I was about to quit listening to the album when I noticed that a number of reviews mentioned how awful the final song was. Curiosity piqued, I continued listening to the bitter end. I'm pretty sure one day there will be a horror film with a scene where someone enters a house of a serial killer and "The Toonerville Trolley" will be playing.
