#526b The Frogs - Bananimals

Bananimals is a logical next step from It's Only Right and Natural: still catchy, still lo-fi, still surprising, still awfully enjoyable for how uncomfortable it is. The homoeroticism hangs around, but we're a degree away. This isn't an album about gayness anymore, its an album about being The Frogs, complete with a (strangely touching) screed against the muzik biz, a biting embodiment of those who couldn't handle IORaN (u bastards), and yes, some new angles on being young and horny and gay.

The lack of full-throated, full-throttle focus prevents Bananimals from reaching its predecessor's classic status, but its the best followup The Frogs could have possibly made, honoring and expanding and perverting their legacy along the way 4/5
