5 out of 5 stars Three perfect songs, and ..........2006-11-06

... several others that come close. Is Cinderella's Baby the finest song ever recorded? I've had this on vinyl for years, and treated myself to it on CD after completing my 19th marathon. That's 494 miles I've run for Mr Krikorian. Worth every step.

With this LP, I became a youthful Dadaist with my tongue planted firmly in my futt futt futt.

Thanks Mr. K.

4 out of 5 stars Uneven.......2006-03-16

The sophomore jinx hit Tonio K. hard. The follow-up to "Life in the Food Chain" is uneven. The four stars are earned, though, by the three over-the-top 80's-style ballads "Sons of the Revolution", "Say Goodbye" and "Cinderella's Baby", which are right up there with anything else he's recorded.

5 out of 5 stars The return of Jacques Vaché (proto-dada).......2001-05-13

The only criticism we can do against dada movement is that it didn't wrecked itself, denying its own essence. Er...yes, Tonio K. too. This album is surely one of my favourite of all years. It's messy, unclear, hilariously sad and extatic, and surely really funny. Tonio K began with "Life in the foodchain " which was...rock. This one is...rock. But : If you like rock, .... Tonio K is (yeah, in fact...was) completely brilliantly mad. The songs, even though the album sound like some 50-60 rock encyclopedy are completely addicting. The lyrics are ...hilarious (but take time to decrypt what he tried to say) and completely cynic. The top is reached by the inner picture of this guy...flashing gun on his .... Warning : Tonio K is now a complete .... Go buy "life in the foodchain" and "Amerika" (the best "rock" albums ever made in amerika) and leave the rest to ....
