You can't listen to this CD once and make a good decision on whether you like it or not. A co-worker brought it in to work many years ago when it first hit the shelves and he played it over and over again on the company CD player. Everyone about 8 other people work here hated it at first.

By the end of the week, 5 out of 8 people here at work went out and bought there own copies for listening to the CD at home Yeah the music is quirky Album) it sounds kind of amateurish, but that is part of SNZ's charm.
You feel like you knew these guys in school or college. Just a bunch of cool guys and lady hanging out in a garage and playing some tunes. What makes this fine LP for me is Katherine Whalen's voice. The way she hops into a falsetto at the bridge on "Put A Lid On It" gets me going every time, and the same voice has the same effect on me when I hear "Prince Nez.
And this band swings, in that swingin' pre-Swing way. A lot of this sounds like 4 a. The kind of music you'd want to listen to on a night on the town with Tom Waits. This album is the greatest album of all time.

This band followed in the line of Royal Crown Revue playing swing revival music with a punch and a twist. The music on this one is a little bit less punky than Royal crown revue and is a little bit more traditional they even call the drums a trap set.
The songs however are just as a good and fun to Album) to. Report abuse. This album is a rare work of genius. It comes from somewhere so unexpected and was so out of kilter with everything else that was going on at the time, and yet it somehow made perfect sense. Wonderfully played and crafted with real personality.
Intelligent, witty lyrics, a left of center world-view, fine arrangements - it's all here. If you don't get it at first - stick with it. This is a genuine independent classic. You will come to love it! This CD is unusual and brilliant.
