Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Fudd's Law.......2006-10-19

The first side/track of this album is hilarious, but it starts to slacken a little on side/track 2, because the material is more suited to visual that aural presentation. Recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Stuck in my head.......2005-09-12

I don't think I've heard this album from top to bottom in 20 years but barely a week goes by when some line or other from it doesn't pass through my head and often out my mouth without my even realizing the source. Firesign's take on the "Brave New World" future was--like nearly everything they've done--a bit too accurate as prophesy. The world we live in today, from Bush to Wal-Mart to Prozac to what today is the anniversary of, comes straight out of this album and it's a wonder back then that more of us didn't see this as inevitable. This work predates a movie actor as President by many years; Arnold as governor of California was a foregone conclusion to these guys in 1970; Most cable TV and film look like Firesign pieces.

Some smart arse once said that in decadent and declining times the only job left for intelligent people to do is satire. No, this album isn't a laugh riot, and it's not intended to be. It's a very humorous, witty, and often brilliant commentary on the end of an era. This group will be remembered in the distant future as one of the best chroniclers of the Fall.

4 out of 5 stars Standard Firesign Fare.......2005-08-04

Probably the geekiest of the Firesign material I've listened to. The story line has a futuristic setting, so computers, holograms and such play a role. While not quite up to pare with "Everything you know is wrong", its interesting and should be part of every Firesign fan's collection.

4 out of 5 stars Fourth Firesign album.......2004-11-15

Most Firesign albums, and especially this one, are layer-ed and require multiple listenings to actually understand the plot. I cannot agree more with the reviewer who said that their albums play out like movies.

I tried this album out on a friend yesterday. I tried to get him into Monty Python by buying him their albums 2-4. I t didn't really work. Then I tried Cheech and Chong because who doesn't understand their plots. That pretty much worked. Then I tried this album. We listened to 7 minutes of the first side and all of side two. He didn't really laugh much, and being a 14 year old, and not to mature, he stop really paying attention. Maybe I should just give up.

As for the album, it's pretty confusing the first time (like all the Firesign work) but overall the 2nd side is much better than the first. Ther first one isn't really trying to be funny, but I use some of the computer- President's ramblings for my away messages. Ovrall, not as good as the first 3 but right behind them. Now, I have to get "EYKIW".

I love this FST album. The main reason for my review is to let everyone in on a secret.
