i've listened to the album twice now with Air Pod Pros in, from start to finish. This album is a masterpiece. But, since people don't listen to full albums anymore it will just be added to the legacy of Danny Elfman.

I bought it. I have gone through it a few times. I like the second album more. The insects remake is ok. I've been a fan since Only a Lad made it to Atlantic Records on Volusia Ave in Daytona Beach in the early 80's. I'm a fan of the older stuff, and the second half of this album is closer to that. Their keyboardist grew up two blocks away from the house I grew up in Daytona Beach, so their music was always pushed around there. They've always been edgy, and that juxtaposes my style.

Nice. Danny Elfman is a musician's musician. All the movie soundtracks he has done and ignoring his oingo boingo days. Hopefully this means a reunion!

He said, "Fuck it, I have it all, now it's time to have some fun!"

Love it!

I was right.

He is one of the mainstays in my youth. I have loved Oingo Boingo since junior high. Their concerts have been absolute highlights in my youth. He is academic, a scholar, a student, a fan and an entertainer. He understands music as mood so well. That is why he could transition to movie scores. He's prolific, unique and I have lost track of him so this post will be part of my walk tonight. Can't wait to hear it.
