| Summary: what the firetruck? |
4 of 4 thought this review was well written
The first time I found out that Smosh had made an album, I was confused. It seemed utterly pointless, I mean, why make an album when they're already making loads of cash from their Youtube videos? Then another thought occured to me - who would even buy this album? Such were the thoughts racing through my mind when I hesistantly turned on my computer speakers. Searching through Youtube, I looked up the first song on the album, clicked it, nervously awaiting the fire and brimstone that would rain from the sky. Much to my surprise, I was unharmed. You see, Sexy Album is a comedy album and should be treated as such. Sure, the rapping, singing, and lyrics in this album are atrocious, but sometimes they're so blatantly awful that it's hilarious (ex. 'Boxman', where Ian sings intentionally horribly in the chorus, and it's pretty hilarious). Really, the outcome of the album depends on how much it made you laugh. You may find that the album isn't that terrible after all.
Somehow, some of the music in here is alright. Songs like 'Milky Milkshake', and 'Cute Furry Kittens' have unfunny subject matter, but being surprisingly catchy electro house songs (and do I detect a hint of disco?), they may be in your head for a while. An album like this has no right to claim such catchy songs, but roast my rooster, this is quite a hootinanny. Of course, I'm scraping the barrel here, attempting to find positive aspects to an album that other people would simply respond to with "lol a smosh album? WTF?", but I'm succeeding nonetheless.
Unfortunately, the fun and games can only last so long. The album has its share of terrible songs such as 'Hardcore Max', and tracks 11, 12, 15, and 16. However, that still leaves us with 12 decent songs, and in my books that makes for a successful album. Who can forget 'My Fanny Pack', which attempts a nu-metal style Ã* la Limp Bizkit, working as both a nu-metal parody, and a generally funny song from Anthony's frenzied vocal performance? And let's not forget that this album has some of smosh's more defining songs such as 'Firetruck' (an obvious ripoff of The Lonely Island's 'Like A Boss', but it's still funny) and 'Pokemon Theme Song Revenge' which are actually fairly clever. Ultimately, this album really does hold some "Smoshy goodness" if you're willing to look past the immediate gag reflex. Good luck on that.
