Album Notes & Community Reviews

A direct sonic contrast to its predecessor 'OK Human', this album is an homage to the hard rock and heavy metal bands that inspired Rivers Cuomo as a youth. Filled with guitar solos, riffs, and tapping techniques reminiscent of 1980s metal, the record is a loud, energetic, and unapologetically fun tribute. The album's release was postponed for nearly a year due to the global pandemic.
