Highlights:
Little Guns (but that's just for energy and musicianship, it sounds most like Mystic Knights)

You know what I’ve learned? I think, I’m not 100% sure, but I think…Richard Elfman is actually the funnier of the two Elfmans. (Elfmen?) While I liked Only a Lad a lot, the last album and this one are so pedestrian and devoid of actual humor…much like Danny’s soundtrack work. Case in point: The Nightmare Before Christmas…when it tries to be funny in song, it’s caustic and sarcastic. He doesn’t seem like a nice person. He seems like the person he tries to look like: a red haired devil. But the Devil seems like he’s more fun to be around.
Elfman scored his brother’s movie, The Forbidden Zone around a couple years before this and that album is 100X more fun than this thing. Presumably because Richard had input.
Imagine collecting your allowance, mowing the lawns, getting your paltry paycheck from that weekend job and deciding to spend part of it on this piece of garbage.
