CD Reviews

Should be six stars!
Ian Johnston | Independence, MO USA | 07/17/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Bobs' debut effort is undoubtedly the most creative and off-kilter collection of acappella music in existence. Highlights include "Art for Art's Sake", "Prisoner of Funk", "Bus Plunge", their bizarre remake of "Helter Skelter", and "Deprogrammer". But, every track on here is a classic and shines in its own way. If you like unusual music and/or acappella music get this CD by all means! Take the Bus Plunge, baby!"
A cappella way ahead of its time
Ian Johnston | 03/31/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"While most a cappella groups of the 80's were still rewriting standard do-wop arrangements, the Bobs were writing witty originals and doing off the wall covers, like The Beatles Helter Skelter. This, their first album is definitely The Bobs best."
Incredible vocal chops don't stand in the way of a good time
Ian Johnston | 09/29/1998
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I first heard the B.O.B.s ten years ago at an old friend's house. His 3 year old kid kept wanting to hear the "trash" song and clap along. This is not specifically a little kid's album, but the group is so much fun to listen to and so technically adept that no one will walk away disappointed. The man who sings the bass vocal has an especially rich voice. I adore this CD."
