What I enjoy about this CD is that the Crash Test Dummies are melding the genres of folk and rock into an enjoyable sound, with their melodies and lyrics making for quite the experience. The vocals of Brad Roberts are truly unforgettable, and make this group one worth listening to. In summing up, the Crash Test Dummies, with this CD, have shown their mettle, with melodies and lyrics that make this CD worth the purchase price, and, if possible, can interest one in looking for the other works this seminal folk-rock group have performed. I heartily recommend it to all.
The fact that MMM MMM MMM MMM was a hit proves that once every million years something brilliant slips into the mainstream. Of course, the mainstream thought it was a novelty but those of us who truely know the Crash Test Dummies know that their songs about philosophy and theology and psychology are smarter than any novelty song that ever made it on the radio. This is a fantastic CD and certainly the Dummies best. Make sure you read along with the lyrics to make sure you don't miss anything. 5 Huge Stars.

Psychic, The 11. Two Knights And Maidens 12. Untitled
This album is one that has you will either love or hate. I personally love it! It is very unique and the low baritone voices are just awesome. The melodies are very addicting and all the vocals blend well. The lyrics are off the wall at times but that just adds to what sets this album apart! All of the songs tell some kinda of story and I have found the more I listen the more the meaning comes out. If you are on the fence go for this album. It is worth MUCH MORE than the 3.99 that I paid for it.
Verified purchase: No
I listened to this CD before and it's a little on the short side, but it's a really good buy. I will ocassionally find myself singing the title track from this CD, just because it's catchy, but also a good song. Meaningful? Not all of the songs, but then again, do all songs really have to be meaningful to be enjoyable? I don't think so. Anyways, this is a good pick-up for anyone who is just looking for something pretty light hearted and wants to try something new.
