Bad Ronald: Rad Ronald

Bad Ronald seem to straddle a line between rock and hip hop, with plenty of hilarity in lyrics. It's not the kind of thing you might expect me to listen to, but that's ok.

These guys came to my attention during a camping trip, and it was clear, from the get go that these guys were never going to be Grammy winners. And, if you're ok with that, then you'll be all set.

It's not entirely what one might call "worksafe" lyrics, but, to give you an example, let us show John the Marine's favourite line from I Need Love: "I need NyQuil and a blowjob to get me to sleep." It's funny. Inappropriate, but funny.

The lead off song Let's Begin manages to convey the feeling they did in the music video, that of a kid's program. Trust me, if you see the video, it'll totally make sense. Bad Idea, discusses some of the bad ideas men have had regarding sexual encounters. Hand on the Wheel really gives you that "leanin'-back-hand-on-the-wheel" kinda feeling. Bank just has this feeling to it, this smiling, happy feeling, and you can't help but groove to it, as though the singers are trying to sing you a smiler.

In the End: This album is ridiculously fun. The content may keep some people from listening to it, but if you can deal with people singing about sexual encounters and drugs, you can really enjoy some, if not all of this album.
