THE BENJAMINS
The Art Of Disappointment
MCA/Drive-thru Records

If I were Wesley Willis, I'd probably say "rock on London, rock on Milwaukee, Wheaties: Breakfast of Champions" -- but I'm not.  Straight outta Milwaukee, you've just gotta love this record from start to end.  Songs like "Couch" and "Dr. Frank Was Right", you must love them. Even the Superdrag-influenced secret track is filled with special goodness. If you don't agree, you've probably been listening to your Creed CD's a little bit too much.  Like any worthy band, these folks have their softer sides along with the rock and roll mentality.  Take whatever you want from that noting, but do rest assured that big things are ahead. Catch them at Summerfest!
