Rating: - Pretty good.
These guys are weird and talented. The whole CD cracks just about everyone I know up.

Rating: - The Bells
These guys are really funny! I gave this CD and the first season of "Flight" on DVD to my husband for his birthday. I was excited that I got a DVD and CD as a package and for the same price as just the DVD in the stores, plus I got super saver free shipping.

Rating: - Great sampling of FOTC wit
When FOTC's show first came out, I was instantly sold. I ordered this EP and their 'Folk The World Tour' (live album) from SmokeCDs. Both of these albums have their own unique edge. This one (Distant Future) will whet your appetite for FOTC Season 2 (WTF?) and remind you why you enjoy their show so much.

While I wish either this or the 'Folk The World Tour' album contained the studio/show tracks (i.e. for songs like BOOM!, Robots, etc.), these are still pretty good--especially for a (mostly) live album. You can also get free mp3s off their site--google 'em and you'll find a few not on either album.

With the live show recordings, there's a great freshness to their ... Read More

Rating: - The Greatest Album of the Century By Any Artist(s)
"The Distant Future" is the greatest album of the century by any artist(s) bar none! Original. Vibrant. Touching. Funny. Smart. The first four songs are small gems that shine brighter than anything churned out by so-called mainstream musical artists. The last two cuts require more of an acquired taste, perhaps for fans of the HBO series, but their quirkiness does little to diminish the overall album's charm and polish. If I've learned anything in life about meeting women, I learned a fail-proof opening line from song four: "You're so beautiful, you could be a part-time model." Rock on, Flight of the Conchords! Buy this album or risk dying sad and alone in a cold tiny studio apartment full ... Read More

Rating: - Too short to warrant a higher score.
I really enjoy The Flight of the Conchords, and really enjoy the songs on the CD. The problem is, the length of it and the small amount of tracks aren't nearly enough to satisfy.

Also, because there are so few songs, there aren't many to chose from, and when you want to hear a little FOTC, you're hearing the same things again and again.

I think the tracks with the high production values have more of a place on studio releases than do live songs, so I'd have preferred if The Most Beautiful Girl In The Room and Robots were studio tracks, and Banter omitted (or replaced).
