Sandwich

Sandwich Review

This album is probably the best humorous metal album I've ever heard. The lyrical theme surrounds the subject of food, with song titles like "The Hunger Within", "Orange", and the semi-title track, "This Is Not A Song, It's A Sandwich". There are other songs that shine more even than the food-related ones. "Caffeine" is hilariously hyperactive take on coffee and energy drinks, and sounds as if they'd had a few before they recorded the song. "#1 Radio $ingle" is a song that narrates itself with its own lyrics, but happens to be so catchy it probably could be played on the radio. There are funky crawling slap bass portions in "Shower" and "Girl Directions". The four short skits are pretty funny, and there are several bonus tracks after the main album is over with, including an epic older-song medley that replaces lyrics with names as a tribute to the 373 people who donated 50+ dollars for the album to be funded (I donated ), an outtakes reel, and a very pretty, incredibly random acoustic song at the end that gets cut off prematurely by the apparent limitation in CD space. Overall a very good album, and it is worth many listens in its entirety, if you insert your tongue into your cheek for 75 minutes at a time.

Sandwich Overview

This is "humorcore" - metal/hard rock with a sense of humor.
