You title your record “Fantastic”, it better be.
It’s not.
That fucking “Wham Rap” is awful but, even more egregious is how hard they bite on Madness's bass line from “On the Beat, Pete”.
At least Adam and the Ants’ “Ant Rap” was fun and embraced its own absurdity. This is a craven attempt to do something these boys had no business trying. And then they do it again on “Young Guns (Go For it)”. They shouldn’t have.

I promised myself I wouldn’t fast forward through any of the albums in this archeological experience (I am now over 1000 albums into it) and I haven’t. This is one of those times that I almost broke that promise.
