Album Notes & Community Reviews
Under Danny Elfman鈥檚 frantic direction, Oingo Boingo delivers a spectacularly weird, intensely energetic collision of frantic new wave, ska, and theatrical Zolo pop. 'Good for Your Soul' pairs incredibly manic horn arrangements and complex rhythms with deeply anxious, pessimistic lyricism, crafting an utterly unique, surreal, and highly playful carnival ride.
