B.A.L.L. - Bird

With their second album, Bird, B.a.l.l. managed to perfect the jokey pop culture satire they sketched out on their debut album. From the parody of The Beatles' "butcher cover" to the disembowlments of T. Rex's "Buick Mackane" and Ringo Starr's "It Don't Come Easy," the record revels in its hipper-than-thou pretentions, yet B.a.l.l. has developed a dirty guitar grind that keeps them from falling into their own cleverness. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
