OVER-NITE SENSATION

Ever have that moment where one of your friends tells this ''funny'' joke and everyone surrounding that friend absolutely laughs up a storm and you just force a few ''ha-has'' to look cool even though you really don't get it. Translate that feeling to my rating for this album and you'll understand what I mean.

I feel almost embarrassed that I don't really understand what's going on here. None of the lyrics make me laugh hysterically; my mind essentially tunes out half of the time on many of the funnier songs like ''Dinah-Moe Humm''. And why is that? There must be something wrong with the wiring in my brain because nothing musically sticks out to me on that song, or for that matter the remainder of the album.

I admit, the chorus of ''I am the Slime'', the chorus of ''Fifty-Fifty'', large bits of ''Zomby Woof'' and the last bit of ''Montana'' perk my interest. Unfortunately, I am more bored than amused/enticed/impressed/entertained. The music sound bland, nondescript and unremarkable to my ears. I am one to believe that the main focus of OVER-NITE SENSATION was the humourous content of which I have absolutely no offense to IF I can get into the music. Here, it doesn't happen that much.

Don't take my review too seriously. There's probably a good reason for the amount of five star ratings here, and it's more likely than not that you won't share my opinion. I prefer the humour content found on FREAK OUT! because I can get into the music more on that album. Then again, what does the blithering idiot called Sinusoid know about anything?

Last words: I have none.
