After millennia of recorded human history, music is still the best thing in the world, and here are eighteen reasons why. From the crunchy rock exterior to the creamy pop center, it's all good.

notes

Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives, purveyors of fine quality rock to the Greater Boston area for over a decade, return with a CD chock full of delicious songs both sweet and sour. If you are at all interested in the amorous adventures of conductor Leopold Stokowski, the perils of being hit on by someone already in a relationship, the advantages to humanity provided by the use of speech, the dangers of backing up into someone's car, the joys of listening to Guided By Voices, or the hellish ecology of Luke Skywalker's home planet, you've come to the right place.

  • Second and Eighteen
    author: Heather

    Awesome album, I love Hey, I Will Deny, and Wake Up, just to name a few of my favorites. The whole CD is really great though; I'm really glad that Guitar Hero and Rock Band are helping Honest Bob get their music out there.

  • awesome
    author: Peter Eck

    Yes, "Hey" and "I Get By" were made popular by Guitar hero and Rock Band. But the less known songs on this album are great too. My personal favorite is "Don't Look Right" followed closely by "Tatoonie" or "I Get By." Definently a must have if you enjoyed their "famous" songs.

  • Super excellent!
    author: Tim Jones

    I love this band. The one-two-three of Hey, Time Cube, and Leopold is one of the best openings to any album ever. The constant time shifts in I Don't Want To Hear About Your Crappy Boyfriend are so much fun, and then there's the incomparable I Get By. This band reminds me of the Mr. T Experience without any noticeable Ramones influence, which, for once, is not a bad thing. Also the wonderful doo-wop cover of Head Like A Hole is, in a word, really really really really cool.

  • Amazingly Unique
    author: Josh Minor

    This album is amazing. Each song on here is fun to listen to. Of course this album has the song 'I Get By' which was made famous from the game Rock Band. One of the greatest highlight for me on this album was their cover of Nine Inch Nail's 'Head Like a Hole'. They throw this cheery little riff over the entire thing and sing it like a lighthearted love song. It still has the dark lyrics though, and it becomes this horrifyingly happy song. Glad I bought this album, not so much their other one.

  • Lots of fun
    author: Rick

    18 songs, nicely spread over a whole lot of stylistic ground. And not a single piece of filler - each one has something unique going for it. 100% satisfied!

  • Amazing CD
    author: Brandon Zarzyczny

    This cd is amazing, I love it! I've been listening to the songs for awhile, and You Broke My Brain is currently the most played song on my ipod. Some other stand out songs are Time Cube (hillarious if you understand the reference, just google it) Don't Look Right, and Tatooine. I love this album and this band, it's incredibly original while still being catchy, it's a must buy.

  • LOVED IT!!!
    author: Adam V.

    This is an amazing album full of witty lyrics and excellent melodies. A+++

  • Not Bad At All
    author: Zachary Orlando

    I liked the cd. A few of the songs reminded me alot of R.E.M.'s songs. I hope to see some more new cds from Honest Bob & The Factory-To-Dealer Incentives.

  • Love it!

  • Freaking Awesome
    author: Pierce O'Toole

    This CD is fantastic. It really showcases a lot of different styles and it has a lot of great songs, both serious and comedic. One of the best CDs I have ever bought.

  • Great CD :)
    author: Mark Shephard

    Great stuff on this album, I bought this CD in response to their great songs in both Guitar Hero games "Hey" and "Soy Bomb". Keep up the good work and I hope to see more from you guys on Guitar Hero in the future.

  • Masterpeice?.......
    author: Andrew

    This music is something to behold. Wonderful yet wacky lyrics combined with simple yet strangely impressive pop progressions make for great music. The fact that you dont take yourselves seriously shows in this album, and songs like "Red Integra" show this. Yet these songs are simply ingenious. Masterpeice indeed.

  • Playful sound is refeshing
    author: Bill Conant

    This album shows Honest Bob's best talent: playful music. The album exhibits a mastery of the sound beyond the technical aspect. The songs are playful, as though the music contained within is a mere plaything. There is deliberate care and love imparted to each song, but it takes real talent to do free verse in a lyrical format, a la "Timecube". Impressive. Most impressive.

  • This CD is awesome.
    author: Jack S.K.

    Upbeat music and witty lyrics make for a CD that can't be missed.

  • Curious, melodical genius
    author: Craig Laurie

    One of the best albums I've parted hard-earned money for. On sheer musical merit, the stylings of the band are worth the measly $12 they're asking. But if you pay attention to the lyrics... that's where they really come into their own. A pleasure to listen to.

  • Scratches the nerd and hipster itch.
    author: Chris

    Solid, often amusing lyrics set to some of the catchiest guitar hooks I've ever heard. Second & Eighteen manages to keep its sense of humor without sacrificing musicianship or variety. Everyone's in on the joke with Honest Bob and the Factory to Dealer Incetives' second album, Second & Eighteen.

  • love the song HEY on guitar hero
    author: charles short

    love listening to this cd

  • Dan Schmidt is incredible.
    author: Wes Carroll

    Dan Schmidt is a genius of several stripes, musical among them. His band Honest Bob not only sports the best name you'll ever know, but also shows off his thoroughly enjoyable take on the quirky subjects described here by other reviewers. I could go on and on about the superior musicianship on this CD, but that's not the important part. The important part is that it's fun to listen to. Buy it now. You'll enjoy it again and again.

  • Thank you so very very much
    author: Eric Warfield

    I heard the opening song "Hey" in Guitar Hero and totally loved it. I did some research and found this CD. Now I'll listen to at least one song from it once a day. My favorite is probably The Benefits of Language. Go buy this CD. Right now. Don't come back without it.

  • Best CD purchase of 2005
    author: Scott Jones

    OK, so I bought this CD cause a friend of mine was like "You gotta hear these guys!". Not knowing what to expect, I dropped the CD into the player, and the rest is history. I have listened to it now maybe 30 times, and discover new and interesting things to love about it each time. First, the lyrics will grab your attention straight off, which make the songs fun to listen to, and before you know it, the vocal melodies and guitar riffs have you hooked. I have caught myself singing some of their tunes in the shower on more than a few occasions. And track #18? A nice touch at the end. It is a rare treat indeed to stumble upon work of art like this and find so much enjoyment. Thank you Honest Bob.

  • It doesn't get better than this
    author: Jeff Dixon

    Honest Bob rocks. If you enjoy music that is witty, silly, and unique, pick this CD up.

  • Great music!
    author: Sol Tucker

    Although the name of the album is confusing because none of the songs are about golf, this album is very good and has many songs about a lot of topics. For instance, there is a song about eating falafel for lunch with a girl who has a boyfriend, that is an experience we can all relate to. But there are also songs on different subjects that are more intellectual, such as time and historical figures. There are many catchy songs on here, and you will find yourself singing them many times after you have stopped listening.

  • This CD: Fucking Brilliant
    author: John Cater

    I've long been a fan of Honest Bob, and their first album is one of my all-time favorites. This album surpasses that mark. Honest Bob sits in the sweet spot between writing songs that are too busy being funny and songs that take themselves too seriously. The lyrics are great, the music is very tight and well-done, and I dare you to listen without people around you asking what you're singing along to. I can't tell you what the best track on the album is: they're all too good. I can tell you, though, that if you listen close and follow the lyrics, you'll have a great time, and then like me you'll wish Honest Bob would come to your town.
