For the songs on this album, the band dug through their closets and attics. Most of the songs were written in the early 1980s, and all of them are farther out in left field than you’d expect from Left Brain. (Just read the song titles and you’ll know what I mean!) Every song is a classic, but “Bonnie B. Roccoli & the Spinach Beast,” Paul Nordquist’s nod to T. Rex, is a real throwback. And no, “Red Lobster Sect” does not have anything to do with Blue Oyster Cult. The similarity of names is nothing more than an amazing coincidence.
