Frontman Jason Shevchuk makes this band. His gravelly, tuneful voice is unique and interesting. However, the music, while fun (save the draggy "I See London" and half-assed "10 Ton Jiggawatts"), is, really, pretty bland. "Yo! It's Not Rerun" is the album's best song-- the whole band puts actual power into it-- and the enjoyable "With the Transit Coat On" and "You Suck! But Your Peanut Butter's OK," are, well, enjoyable-- but beyond those tracks, This Is Satire is rather tedious.
