Everything except the first and last sentences of this review is a lie. Both bands kill on Protools. Geddy Lee and Neal Pert would totally be jealous. Hear that triangle counterbalancing the cow bell? Fuckin-a, dude, it snaps! Dukes of Hillsborough: More songs about how everything’s okay, all people are essentially decent and caring, but dogs really suck. Oh, and work totally rules. Especially the great pay and the creativity and dignity it provides the working class. Off With Their Heads: More songs about if we all pray, America will win the war, Christianity is the only sensible choice, and gas prices will eventually go down if more Arabs are killed. And that Ryan’s latest book, I Love You, Me, Everybody, has become a best seller. Knew exactly what I was getting into, it was delivered, and it made me happy.
