 What the fuck happened Reg? Your albums used to be a few cute, fun, tasty synth-pop songs intercut with stupid little comedy skits. Kind of Emo-novelty, and I went with it. I played along and I guess it worked. But C'mon Reggie, what the fuck is with this album. Oh wait, I read you got a divorce. I guess that accounts for the weepy, sad emo bullshit on this album.
 
I love the title, "Songs Not to Get Married to". Surprisingly, this is an actual song oriented album...that is, an album with songs and not scenes. I think there are only two joke songs on the whole album; one is another one of the "Drunk Girl at the Get Up Kids Show" skits (sadly, they bleep the girl out with the word "Reggie" everytime she says the word "Best smellin' pussy") and the other comes from Europe's favorite death metal band Common Denomenator.
 
There are some nice songs on this album. The really fun synthy dance numbers "Love Reality" and "Laura's Australian Dance Party" add a nice contrast to the goddamned screaming. Ok, I should mention it now, Reggie got a guy from KC's resident Screamo band "Coalesce" to do backup screaming (I refuse to call what those screamo/hardcore guys do singing, I refuse) and goddamnit, it's on most of the songs. Reggie is fucking pissed off.
 
"How did you do this to me?/ How could you do this to me?" Reggie asks on the completely lamemo "Thanks for the Misery". "What was the point to all of this?/ What was the point of our first kiss?" Reggie asks us in the second verse. Do people really want to listen to this kind of misery? At least be eloquent if you're going to bitch about your woman leaving you. This isn't high school.
 
I do like the idea of a song called "The Fuck Stops Here". If only the song wasn't the hXc song on the album. Sigh.
 
Reggie writes very cheesy songs (EX. "No one knows you better like you know yourself, everyone around you says you need help"). And not cheesy in a good way (if there is a good way), but cheesy in a very bad, very lame way. Ok Reg, I'm sorry your wife divorced you for some other dude. "Get Well Soon" (Ian from punkunited.com).
