Has anyone out there had the misfortune of purchasing this absolute piece of shlock?
I got sucked in by a very favourable review and have been appauled by this ill-thought out piece of garbage. The ONLY reason i brought it (apart from the review) was that Dave Grohl plays drums on it. Now as always, his playing is very tasteful and right on the money, but even this cannot save this crap from being listenable.
Perhaps i am missing the point here. I know its essentially a "comedy" p*ss take album, but it just aint funny!! Yeah some of the tunes are mildly clever and the fat dude can shred a bit on the ax, and Jake Black's voice or whatever his name is (i'm at work ATM and dont have the album with me sorry) can hold an OK tune, but the obvious lack of any time and effort that has gone into the lyrical content, not too mention the down right annoying interlude "scetches" which fair dinkum sound like they were made up as they went along make this album an absolute insult to anyone who was dumb enough to fork out their hard earned for it!! Someone obviously hasnt performed their responsibility by saying "No!" to those who came up with the concept of this album.
Greatest band in the world indeed!
Apart from all that, its not too bad really!:D
Seriously, anyone got it? And do you care to explain what i'm missing?
