There is no rating high enough for this amazing cd. But I will give it the highest possible. The Crash Test Dummies' follow-up to the good-but-not-as-good 1st album, The Ghosts That Haunt Me, combines quirky pop-rock songs with Brad Roberts' deep barritone voice, Ellen Reid's mesmerising back-up vocals, fantastic harmonica and bass, courtesy of Ben Darvill and Dan Roberts, and very wierd lyrics. Well produced by Jerry Harrison, of the Talking Heads, with a rich, full sound. They must have taken hours to rehearse all of this. The Dummies have won multiple awards, especially for this album and songs like MMM MMM MMM MMM, Afternoons And Coffeespoons and Swimming In Your Ocean. The best track, according to not only me, but all the fans is Afternoons And Coffeespoons.But the others come extremely close. Their music can not be compared to any other band, so I guess you will have to go and have a listen to find out. I bet you will all have heard MMM MMM MMM MMM some time either on the radio or t.v. The third album, a worm's life was a little bit heavier and different than the other two. That's another great thing about them. Each album is different. The first one was more folky. I hope the next one is more like God Shuffled His Feet, and I hope they have many more hits. I have also seen them live and they were brilliant! Go and buy the Dummies NOW!!!!!!
