Album Notes & Community Reviews

Satirizing classic rock tropes from its title on down, 'Metaphysical Graffiti' continues the Philadelphia outfit's barrage of snotty, satirical punk. The incorporation of strange studio skits and absurd spoken-word tangents adds to the album's chaotic, juvenile charm.

Genres

Descriptors: satirical, skit, melodic, jangly, witty, fast, lo-fi
