Tasty Snax
Run Joseph Run!
Reviewed by Amanda Nelson
Dave, Mark, Eric and Mark deliver a solid performance for the Tasty Snax' debut CD. If you like Weezer and the Presidents of The United States of America, you should give Tasty Snax a try. The title song, "Run Joseph Run," tells the story of the attempt by Potiphor's wife to seduce Joseph. There is also a reenactment of the story on the album's cover... Joseph running away while Potiphor's wife is left holding his clothes... Does that mean Joseph is?... you'll have to see for yourself! If variety is what you want, I would suggest listening to this CD intermittently with a few others. But although the sound is basically the same throughout, the guys' talent is evident through the creative lyrics and instrumentation. "Ode to a Bob" adds a little something different with a trumpet solo from Darren Mettler of the O.C. Supertones. The cool lyrics found in songs like "Wonderbread," "Run Joseph Run," and "Screw Up," and a good instrumental performance make "Run Joseph Run" a worthwhile addition to your alternative collection.
