Oingo Boingo is one of my favorite bands. I've always enjoyed them because of their energy
and funny/shocking lyrics. What happened to all that on this record? The only track that I
know does that is "Hey!"--everything else is gloomy and heavy. But there are still a few
good songs--"Insanity" is probably my favorite, and "Mary" makes me cry every time I listen
to it. I'm still trying to make it through the whole of "Change", which, so far, is pretty
good. These songs are way too long, as in "don't-know-when-to-stop". Maybe if the tracks
were cut down 2 or 3 minutes each (and take out "Pedestrian Wolves" completely), this album
would be better. All in all, 'Boingo' is decent.
