 El vuelo de los concords August 28, 2008
Casstruita (Xalapa, MEX)
Lei en su resena que eran "Los Kings of Convenience de la comedia". Bret McKenzie y Jemaine Clement, originarios de Nueva Zelanda, extrapolan su disco homonimo (Sub Pop, 2008) de su serie televisiva transmitida por HBO. Cinco estrellas! para su sentido del humor, la letra de Business Time me ha hecho reirme tanto que no he parado de escucharla y el disco completo en general es cagadisimo. Foux du fafa me recuerda a mi hermana porque jugamos a lo mismo, a decir palabras en frances, sin sentido, pero para que parezca que estamos hablando. Les falta musica, evidentemente no son los grandes interpretes vocales y su musica no va mas alla de la que utiliza un cantaautor para acompanar lo que QUIERE DECIR. Les dejo lo que para mi gusto es la mejor, en la version del album porque aunque circulan muchas, ninguna tiene una calidad aceptable
FOTC is great but the show versions are better. August 26, 2008
Karl Beaver (FL)
The album is good but I prefer the show versions of most of the songs. They are more authentic and feel 'funnier' than the album versions, which underwent too much producing and engineering in the studio for my taste. There were also a couple of my favorite lyrics left out on this album.

Finally, New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo has released their first real album. While fans have been able to hear Bret and Jemaine's highly entertaining brand of humor on HBO and live albums, Flight of the Conchords is their first full-length record.
While there's something to be said for Flight of the Conchords' live records and actual concerts, which is one of the funniest things I have been privileged to attend, their debut album does manage to translate a good portion of their irreverent humor into the studio. The songs, as usual, don't disappoint, running the gamut from anti-war sex anthem "Ladies of the World" to the funky bedtime jam that Marvin Gaye has tried so hard to perfect, "Business Time." Who can resist seductive statements like "two minutes in heaven is better than one minute in heaven?"
Most of the songs benefit from the added instrumentation and production, with "The Prince of Parties" sounding like the Beatles if they stayed in India longer and were a comedy duo, and "Boom" is much more understandable and palatable with Bret's clarified vocals and the faux-reggaeton production.
The only disappointment is the utter lack of new songs. While a compilation might be a necessity for casual fans or newcomers, Conchord lovers will already know pretty much every song on the disc, and one would've thought with the exposure the two have been getting, they would've jumped on the opportunity to release new material. But you can't begrudge what they've already created, which is pure comic gold.
Totally Entertaining August 8, 2008
Bianca Borrelli (Maryland)
These guys are the most talented, hilarious and straight up entertaining band in many moons. In the middle of listening to an amazing musical arrangement you just crack up with their lyrics. Brillant, brillant, brillant cd.
