The fact that the music of this "band" is created by so many different people, probably makes the album ev interesting. It allows the people behind the "band" to experiment with all kinds of sound combinations resulting in a mix of all kinds of music: dance, rap, punk, rock, etc. which makes the album varied and it gives this group a unique sound.
The songs that are by far the best of the album are their greatest hits: Clint Eastwood and 19-2000, which were very popular a few years ago, but there a quite some people who seem to have forgotten them by now, but I do think they give enough reasons to buy/listen to the album.
Yet again: the music says more than words, the tracks that I liked best are marked with an "*".
