FrançoisC.Oct 23, 2008Does this album is the beginning of a drastic descent. I have the impression that Electric Six starts to repeat itself a little too much and lack of originality and good melody. A little disappointing for a group that I considered a revelation for their style. At least, there is 1 or 2 good songs throughout the album.

StevenH.Oct 25, 2008This is a good album, but "I shall exterminate everything around me which prevents me from being the master" (thier 4th, non-metacritic'd album) is better. Also, you should go see them live, as they're one of the best live bands on the planet.

More often than not, though, Flashy is lots of cleverly dumb fun.

Reborn, the track leads off the sardonic sextet’s fifth album of apocalyptic buffoonery shot through with metal, new wave and disco, all of it hilarious, none of it a joke.

Much of the record satirizes plastic surgery and oversexed macho men, but despite the ironic humor, there’s a compassion in the music that’s unexpected coming from a band best known for a Taco Bell–referencing novelty hit.
