Absolutely fantastic - grab it now!

This is a fantastic album - loved it to begin with and it's grown on me since!
Heard "These Monitors Are Frigid" on the 'Hipster, Please!' podcast (http://www.hipsterplease.com/2009/04/radio-free-hipster-ep-65-no-foolin.html) and after the beat got stuck in my head for days afterwards I realised I had to check out more of their stuff. Picked up the album here on CDBaby and it's been on regular rotation ever since...
The lyrics are excellent, and packed tight with pop culture references, both geeky and mainstream. They're delivered masterfully, honed into quick, fresh and varied rhythms which perfectly complement the beats underneath.
Did I mention the beats? Wonderful variety of orchestrations, drawing on instruments, effects, and vocal snippets to create truly compelling backing for Wockenfuss's rapping.
You've got preview samples right up above, check them out, then grab the album.
I recommend:
'These Monitors Are Frigid'
'Paper Champion'
'Sticks of Butter'
and 'End The Scene'
to get a taste of the goodness that awaits you...
