...mirrors of a novelty album. Even on “Charmaine Champagne”—the album’s weakest track—there’s an abundance of ridiculous lyrics (“She’s gonna get me folked up, fairly beat??) and honky tonk piano, but they mesh together spectacularly, part of an unlikely master plan. The second half of the album falls off a bit into tracks with less distinction, but there still exists a plentiful and varied garage rock buffet within. There’s more than...

With the exceptions of “Gifted,” “Whatchadoin?,” and “The Mayor”—in which The Cool Kids, Ghostface Killah, and Scarface spit over a DJ AM beat??the collaborations lack a raison d’être beyond the whims of N.A.S.A.

The third track happens to be the high point of the album. “Beautiful Beat?? is a sunny-day anthem layered with an acoustic center and a solid drum cadence which focuses on dramatic toms in the verses. The emphasis is once again on Caws’ milky tenor, and with lyrics like “Beautiful beat, lift me up from distress?...
