The production values have improved greatly since last Lemon Demon recordings, the hooks are sharper, the songs' lyrics - despite seeming ridiculous at first - are drenched in relevant social commentary, and Neil's personality is entertaining from beginning to end. There is a great sense of fun in these 14 songs, even if they are mostly dark and only humorous in the most cruel way possible, all thanks to the new-wave synths and guitars. These elements bring to mind both Oingo Boingo and Devo, but Cicierega is doing a great job mixing his influences with his own musical stylings. I really don't have anything bad to say about this, with its potent instrumentals, its melancholic undercurrents, and its pure generosity.
