Sod The Odds - Electric Frankenstein

Advantages: Catchy songs, plenty of big loud hits.
Disadvantages: A few weak links, can become a novelty soon.

...Electric Six have always been known for their singles 'Gay Bar' and 'Danger, High Voltage'. These were both huge hits here in the UK, both peaking in the top ten. These singles were probably recognised for their great wit and, probably most noticably, the videos that came with them. Everyone remembers for the video for 'Gay Bar' because of the depiction of former president Abraham Lincoln, which I thought was genius. But there is more to this album then one may expect. I bought this album not knowing what I was going to get, but when I first stuck this in my CD player I was 'blown' away.

...Here is another Panic! at the Disco installment, Pretty odd. You will be taken through a delightful collection of extrodonary songs, which will leave with one thing on the mind, press repeate.
