Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars If you like Tom Lehrer.......1998-11-16

You'll probably enjoy this album. Although musically more interesting than Tom Lehrer, most of the songs, while quite amusing, lack the master's savage bite. Exceptions are "The Big Mac Tree" and "Fusion"--which manages to slam an entire musical genre and Paul Simon in particular.

Other memorable songs include the title track, "Silicon Slim" and the cute "Tone Deaf." Some mildly forgettable songs round out the cd.

5 out of 5 stars The best musical and lyrical satire since Tom Lehrer........1998-11-02

Tom Lehrer said it himself. "You don't need me anymore now that you've got John Forster to kick around." This album is hysterical, insightful, a classic gem of musical satire, from fusion to folk, from politics to new age exorcisms. The title tune and the marvelously clever indictment of Paul Simon's "method" of annexing other people's creativity for his own musical needs alone are worth the price of the album.
