If you're in the mood for some of the absolutely horrendous pop metal ever, look no farther than Mennen's 'Freakazoid.' The silly, highly irritating whistling repeated throughout 'Down' is enough to have you reaching immediately for the eject button and things are all downhill from there. From the grossly inspiring 'Above The Waterline' to the band's pathetic attempt at metal during 'Bob', there can be no doubt that this is a record that should never have seen the light of day. Overproduction adds to the outright laughability. Several bands managed to perform this style very well twenty five years ago, to execute this type of material so poorly in 2005 is simply inexcusable. With so many talented bands being overlooked, beating the bar circuit to death, it's a real shame that a label would put their money behind a mess such as this. To add value to this overblown nightmare, they have graciously included three extra cuts of substandard fluff. With clichéd lyrics and unconditionally unoriginal ideas, the often slightly off key vocals almost seem right at home. Put this one in your mousetraps, music fans – it's complete cheese.
