Buttercup: Farm boy, fetch my CD player, I want to listen to this record that arrived by mail carrier today.

Westley: As you wish…

Buttercup: Oh my, what do I have here? This almost sounds like an Alternative Rock hit radio song. The music sounds decent, but the vocalist seems to be holding back. Bleh, screaming in the background, I’ve heard this before. Please skip to the next track.

Westley: As you wish…

Buttercup: Catchy guitars again, but now the singer comes off more like he’s in a Pop-Punk band. I’m confused, what’s after this? Ok, so we’re back to the Alternative Rock technique, no trite screaming this time though, whew.

Buttercup: Musically this isn’t terrible, but I think the band should settle on one genre of music instead of blending a handful that don’t quite mix suitably. Vocally, everyone in the band lends their voice at some point however, none of them posses the abilities of a first-rate lead singer. I guess it’s a solid effort for a self released record.

Buttercup: Farm boy, please dispose of this and polish my horse's saddle. I want to see my face shining in it by morning.

Westley: As you wish…

Score's for the review, and the movie. Both awesome. The band ... not so much.

It's been up for most of the day...

The 'joke' is from the movie "The Princess Bride." Starring such greats as Fred Savage and Andre the Giant!

If you haven't watched this movie you're either 14 or seriously messed up in the head.

Here is a link to the script:

The part this review is paroding is how the farm boy (Westley) only says "As you wish" to Buttercup.

...ok so it wasn't THAAAAAAAAT funny.

i'm not into the band all that much, but as people they are some pretty decent guys. considering where the lead singer came from, i'd say good for them.
