Advantages: the mind-melting indecipherable segues between the sketches. Disadvantages: not for everyone (understatement of the century)
whatever you think of this album, you'll think something... it's not an experience anyone is ever going to forget, descending into the twisted genius of chris morris. there is something i think everyone could like on this album... it's just that, for some, some of the material will go a little too far. tracks called "bad sex" illustrate my point exactly, an excerpt: "stick your balls up my nose" will show you why the queen's probably not chris' biggest ...
Advantages: Funny lyrics Disadvantages: After one play, it's boring
I first bought this when it was first released in 2001/2 (I can't remember) and I gave it the quick once-through before it ended up on the eternal abyss of my 'music-shelf.' Just to clarify, I operate a music system, the good albums stay in an ever-increasing pile near my stereo. Now, what set's The Shirehorses apart from other bands? Firstly, it includes BBC Radio 1's favourites Mark & Lard - combined with the insanely monnikered 'The Dark Horse' ... ...rather low quality, of The Shirehorses performing at "The Enormodome", if that is indeed a real place. You get 'A Roll With It', 'Feel Like Sh***' and 'Country Spouse.'
The first song on the CD is 'If You Tolerate This Pi**' which is by the 'Manic Street Sweepers.' As you can guess, this is a parody of the hit single 'If You Tolerate This...' by the Rock band 'Manic St. Preachers.' The song starts well, but trails off near the end and only manages ...
Advantages: Great band, great vocals and music. Disadvantages: Some weak links
...Kyle Gass who make up Tenacious D, you shouldn't give a crap about much, especially bad language etc. If you are this person, like me then this CD is for you. I have no edited the lyrics so there will be some swear words there. Just a warning. The Album
A brilliant album, which isn't for everyone, this is why: Track 1- Keilbasa
Even the first lines of the song show you that they don't care, it's showing them coming up with a song, ... ...this song got me into Tenacious D, such a brilliant song. Jack starts off just talking, with Kyle playing a great riff, there's some singing but it's mainly a spoken song. This song was their first UK release and this is what got them their success, and rightly so. The lyrics are amazing, and the fact that they managed to get the likes of Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters (and Nivarna), shows their success. This song is just tongue in cheek throughout ...

Advantages: You will a nice sing-a-long Disadvantages: You will get strange looks from other car drivers
While some old favourites are on here - Always look on the Bright Side of Life / The Meaning of Life / The Lumber-Jack Song - there are some lesser known songs from the TV programmes which are very very silly.
Never be Rude to an Arab / and I like Chinese would perhaps not be allowed today - despite it being good advice. What needs its own paragraph is the song I know as "An Infectious Song" but to keep it a surprise I will not tell you the actual ... ...of your granma, and proves that only Monty Python can make a joke about every sexual disease under the sun.
It is a shame that the painfully slow song "Traffic Lights" is not on this album nor is "I bet you they won't play this song on the radio" but this is certainly worth it's weight in alternative Xmas songs.
In conclusion - lacking, but worth the £5.99 or whatever you get with a discount. ...
