6. And here's their latest, "Funplex"
Probably the best thing they have done since the "Cosmic Thing" album

8. That one and "Pump"...
Edited on Mon Jun-02-08 05:49 PM by HypnoToad
Mind you, the other songs aren't nearly as good (they certainly don't withstand repeated listenings, and some are outright embarrassing), but the guitar work on their latest album is sensational.

Of course, listen to "Funplex" more closely and compare it to a live performance. The album cut is so manufactured with sampled voices re-used... still sounds great, but "Funpleeeeeee..." becomes obvious.

I love "Funplex" as a song too, though the irony is, the group needed the very things to spread the song around that they were heckling in the song! :rofl:

Pity about the other songs being so lame; and pretty much one track too. We needed more songs like "Roam", "Wig", "Butterbean", "Housework", "Communicate", "Deadbeat Club", "Girl From Ipanema Goes to Greenland", "Cake", "Is That You Mo-Dean?", and others from their wide range of topics. Never mind their instrumentals, which have ALWAYS been top notch throughout the years... That's what disappointed me about their latest album.
