B.I.O.Y.A. Record Review
4 3/4 Bolts

To most people a crazy sick fucker is just simply that but to a number of us it is a community of itself. A crazy sick fucker means you belong in the fan base of Minneapolis's most loved entertainers. Fortunatly/unfortunatly (depending on how possessive you are of your underground favorites) they've never caught on anywhere else around the country despite playing main stage of the most recent woodstock. This band for me is an odd choice being that I'm mostly into experimental and other various electronic groups. Flipp are the bastard child of modern punk and 70's glam with an occasional carnival musician showing up to jam. This their second cd totally raises the bar from their first self titled release. Total party music. With songs like Rockstar, Cock Rock, Ultracool, and Oh Yeah it makes you want to just party hard and not give a fuck what happens. The strongest track on here is Whole Worlds Sick. This is just a straight out rock song but very catchy. They've all got fun little sing along lyrics like "if you wanna get to the top of the pops ya little slut you put your cock in your rock..." from Rock Star. Most songs on here are straight out rock but they do have moments of experimenting into other areas. Psycho-Babble features a cool vocoder, off key guitar notes, cuckoo clock. The intro to Oh Yeah has a sample of some older commercial with a moaning chick creeping in. Zoom kind of sounds like 70's spacey prog rock. Mr. Potato Head would have to be the oddest mix of the bunch. This is one for you to figure out yourself. I got kind of a Mr. Bungle-ish funky song feel. Anyways enough babbling. Just put your cock in your rock, accept the welcome to the schizo ball, and Flipp out.
