I was amiss for a while when this was taken off Spotify but finally found the energy to download it and add it to my phone. All it right with the world again. (It’s actually been a shockingly long time since I’ve listened to this in its entirety.)

on some of these songs they're most definitely trying too hard to be humorous (like on Batman, You Will Be Shot, A Shot in the Dark) which, ironically, is like the #1 thing to do if you want to be intentionally unfunny

Hmm I think I mean instead that theyre being ‘unintentionally unfunny’ as in when you kill a joke because youve said it too many times. So the better formulation is theyre being unintentionally unfunny because theyre trying too hard to be funny. Kinda like that ep of its always sunny when Mac says “shut up science bitch” two seconds after Country Mac says it

Okay but this is like the ultimate ADHD album, whole things speeds by way too fast for any of it to get old

To put it simply,



trying too hard to be funny instantly kills the funny

Thats true but im just talking about when they’re trying to be humourous it comes off as contrived and lame

tbh I can vaguely understand that argument when it's applied to gimmicky Pattoncore stuff, but I think every single style they reach for here comes out with so much precision and faithfulness to whichever source texts that it's beside the point to get wound up on its novelty value. Sure there are humorous bits here (that fucking Bond Theme breakdown lol) but maybe you aren't taking it seriously enough?

Fair enough, I mean I do like some of these tracks for precisely those reasons
