As the newest outing from the always busy John Flansburgh Mono Puff is more of an interesting aside from his regular gig, They Might Be Giants. Flansburgh uses the vehicle to let loose from TMBG and ironically a member of TMBG is one of the least likely people to need it. Still, there's some beauty here in the mostly instrumental hodge-podge of surf-instrumental tunes and well, as he's famous for, quirky pop songs.

The title track is the most together tune on the album, although certainly the most juvenile. "I was unsupervised/I had a real good time/Until I hit my head/I've lost my superpowers," whines Flansburgh to the beat of mistuned and abused guitars and his fellow psueudo-supergroup members stumble along happily. Inside jokes and cultural puns provide the basis for the majority of the album. From "The Devil Went Down To Newport (Totally Rocking)" to "To Serve Mankind" and "Guitar Was The Case" the titles speak more quirk than the lyrics.
