Free Music Notes for Unsupervised
Free Music Review: "It was totally rockin'!"
Hit: 4 Stars
For the most part, Mono Puff is a groovier, funkier They Might Be Giants. This album is a lot of fun- definitely something to take on a car trip with you. The only downside of the whole thing is that sometimes the album just sounds like rehashed TMBG- which, at least, isn't plagarism considering the band is led by one-half of TMBG. Still, you feel like it could have been more than this with pointless tracks like "Distant Antenna" and "Nixon's the One". Flansburgh quickly redeems himself with fantastic songs like "Unsupervised", "Hello, Hello" and the touching "Don't I Have the Right?". This is a really fun album and I think you ought to pick it up- it's totally worth it.

Unsupervised Poster
They Might Be Giants member John Flansburgh is a bit less smart-alecky than usual on this side-project, but other than that it isn't a huge departure from his usual approach. Unsupervised is an enjoyably scattershot hodgepodge of styles, encompassing a biker instrumental ("Guitar Was the Case"), space-pop esoterica ("Distant Antenna"), loping balladry ("So Long, Mockingbird"), reckless novelty ("Careless Santa") and reconfigured glam ("Hello Hello"), plus tongue-in-cheek tributes to Boston Red Sox pitcher Bill Lee ("What Bothers the Spaceman" and a dead president ("Nixon's the One"). Flansburgh also demonstrates his song-plugging savvy by putting a power-pop spin on Amy Rigby's torch-country classic-to-be "Don't Break the Heart." --Scott SchinderAlternative Rock Music CDs
