I'm not sure what's cornier, these guys or that Ned Flanders outfit.

The Ned Flanders guys had a nice gimmick, but the music didn't deliver. This, on the other hand, is something I would listen to. Repeatedly.

EDIT: Ordered!!

Oh the music is cool and I really dig that video for the Imperial March (including the Fett man on drums!) but it's not something I'd listen to that much.

MUCH cooler than the Ned Flanders band. Laughing very hard

This album is just as fun and awesome as I expected it to be.

I liked all three songs in the original post. But it seems like something you'd want to hear once, and then never again.

A novelty. Obviously it's not original music, so I don't think it's going to grow on me at all either.

Yea, my kids dig it too. Novelty? Sure. But I don't mind.

I love this concept!

It's very good, except it comes off sounding a little too much like a video game and not heavy enough...

True it would be nicer if the music was heavier.

Reminds me of the old MECO themes. I had this on 45 when I was a kid.

Bump. These guys have assembled another album of metaled-up Star Wars tunes.

As much as I enjoyed the first album (and still do!), I think they're a bit of a one-trick pony. I'll probably pass on this one.

Didn't Amboog-a-lard have SW-themed lyrics as well?

I don't think it was all Star Wars related. IIRC
