    Wow! This is so flamboyantly terrible. If you have the opportunity to remove Barney's sing along from your player, take the opportunity to listen to Junior Senior. While the beats are not bad, they certainly cater to a niche market of blind happiness and lyrical drivel.

    Vomit Skittles onto my checkered Vans. I'll reconsider if someone slips this all sly into a party's GangStarr/Eric B DJ set. Or a nice Stetsasonic mashup.

    The b-b-beat continues on Hey Hey My My Yo Yo. In fact, the songs here are more catchy, and yes, more fun.

    Hey Hey is sharper than "D-Don’t," filled out and throbbing like soul should be, not burdened with the entropy of a smattered ramshackle collection all heart and no brains.

    The twosome's gleeful confections are more than a little over-the-top, but repeat listens will reveal some truely indelible melodies beneath those stylistic frills. [17 Aug 2007, p.73]
