I'm going to start this off by saying that I really did not like this. I've listened to it a few times since then in order to formulate my review and each time I've had a really hard time enjoying any part of it. This sounds as if Oh No Ono has taken the worst songs of the eighties and mixed them together, topped off with one of the worst voices I've heard in a while. The song "Practical money skills for life" makes me think I'm in "Weird Science"; and "Am I right?" is reminiscent of a crack-fueled "Mickey" by Toni Basil. Whilst the hooks are catchy and it would probably go over well as background music at a bar, consciously listening to this album hasn't been pleasant for me.
