Take equal measures of Gallagher and Kraftwerk, mix in a 15-year supply of blue body paint and shake with a double-shot of modern marketing savvy and you might have something akin to Blue Man Group. This ambitious second album by New York performance artists cum entrepreneurs Matt Goldman, Phil Stanton, and Chris Wink expands their central artistic contradiction--mainstreaming the alternative--with a propulsive cocktail of rhythm, irony, self-invented instrumentation, and bona fide song structures that feature turns from guest stars Dave Matthews (the music hall dirge "Sing Along") and Tracy Bonham ("Up to the Roof," and with Rob Swift, "Shadows Pt.2"). The conceit is vaguely reminiscent of the Tubes' tongue-in-cheek ode to '80s corporate rock, "The Completion Backwards Principle," right down to being so convincing the irony often melts away. Fans of their live performances will appreciate its wall-to-wall rhythmic thrust and quirky textures, while aficionados and newcomers alike should welcome its surprising, seductive melodies and mature songwriting. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews
A Complex album.. - Reviewed on 2008-02-11

This is the second album produced by Blue Man Group, based on their "Rock Concert" tour, and it is very different from the first. The first album had no words at all, but this album has vocals on almost every track. It's got a lot of slow tracks, but there are a few really rocking tracks as well. My personal favorites are Tracks 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 13. This album has a very high replay value. I could listen to this at least once a week
