"Remembering Spongecake" will, for me, always be the definitive Duckhills album. The spirit is upbeat, the music is engaging and entertaining! There are the outright hilarious "Helen," "Cigarette," and "'Lil Bit Girlish." "Freaky Transactions" is absolutely funky and rockin'! "An Emotional Day" and "Succumb" offer a lighthearted contrast to some of the more rauchous tracks while "Stalemate" and "Fatal Request" give a Duckhills taste of meloncholy. Every track is enjoyable, and the overall selection is varied enough to make the album highly re-listenable! Do you regret it didn't get more acclaim, or thank the Music Machine's ignorance for leaving it to the genuine fans? I choose the latter.
