 Great CD - picking up many nuances i missed watching the show April 30, 2008

First up, after reading the other reviews, I have to say I LIKE "Leggy Blonde"! Esp. that part Jemaine breaks into before the end of the song!
I am noticing alot of musical things about the songs that I missed when just watching the show episodes over and over, for instance, I never realized that "Inner City Pressure" is a pastiche of the Pet Shop Boys' "West End Girls", even tho I knew there was something very familiar niggling away at my brain whenever I heard the song.
Without the distraction of actually watching the guys, I can really appreciate how clever the lyrics are, and the instrumentation. I'm just in awe of these guys.
I also miss "Frodo, Don't Wear the Ring", one of the funniest things I ever watched/listened to.
I would recommend the EP THE DISTANT FUTURE as a necessary companion to this CD.
But really, no major complaints, and I don't think many others are complaining too much either, judging by how very popular this disc is in all the various ways one can buy it.
I'd rather complain about the lack of extras on the first season's DVD,and maybe hope for a follow-up to include some of the missing songs. And wouldn't it have been nice to have "Doggy Bounce" as a hidden track?
 I'd love to give this a 5, but... May 13, 2008

Sadly, it's a little like pinning a butterfly to a card - you can get some idea of the original beauty, but with the life force gone it's just mildly interesting. I suspect they need audience interaction in order to pull out all the stops; combine that with not being able to watch their superb physical timing, and it's just... a bit disappointing.

This great full length CD is a great addition to their earlier EP The Distant Future. It includes all the best songs from their HBO series reworked a little bit with a few more instruments. If you love the show, like me, then this CD is a must have. It also includes a great colorful two sided poster. They are a clever duo who write songs with very clever lyrics and you can listen to this over and over and still have a chuckle each time you hear it. Such fresh Kiwi goodness!!!
An absolute delight! May 20, 2008

If you love the show, you'll love the album. It's goofy, clever and never outstays its welcome. This one's in heavy rotation on my iPod right now! Can't wait for the new season!
