Sweet?
If Cake and Eminem (M&M) had a baby you'd get Handlebars. Still, I couldn't help myself.

Almost...
Love the sound and many of the lyrics are good, depending on the song. But it is peppered with enough cringe inducing verbiage sounding like mediocre middle school poetry that I can't get into this album.
OK I guess
Found only two songs that I really liked, but with only 7 songs on the entire album I guess that is a good percentage.
handlebars
because I can ride my bike with no handle bars, no handle bars no handle bars!!!!!
This is tight!!!!!
This is the Best album ever!there is nothin better
Shall we all pretend...
...That these guys don't sound a Whole Lot like Cake? Not that it's bad, I'm enjoying the tracks. Gave four stars. Handle Bars is worth it alone.
Progressive, Talented, Awakening, and Awesome
I Love The Flobots. Not only is the band simply great and unique, but they are also very active politically. Google the band and find on their home page the efforts they are engaged in to get young bands across the country politically active and aware. They also are active in teaching music in their local community, as well as work in addressing the social issues of our times by encouraging a progressive, "lets fix this" mindset. "Fight with Tools" is a most excellent album as well. You will find it is much more politically outspoken- I don't see any of the "holding back" as might be found on Platypus. And this is more than just hip-hop or rap. I consider the Flobots to be more "Indy" than anything else, because of the creative eclectic blend of music and styles. Somehow they make it work. Any group that can manage to blend rap with classical music truly understands how to synthesize divergent expressions into one great sound. It's magic.
NOT SIMILIAR
buck 65 and flobots, seperate the mainstream from the indie. flobots is lame linkin park bullshit
Great Live Show
The Flobots put on an amazing performance at the anti-war concert when they opened for Rage Against The Machine at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. The quiver of songs they shot out were as put together as any in the album but kept the live edge, emotion, and energy. In my opinion the album does not do them justice - it's too put together and too nice. Advice to the flobots - dont be afraid to publish your politically charged tracks because the public might not like it.
awesome
amazing music plus I love when they throw in a little string instruments
