I certainly don't mind the presence of the answering machine songs, but if it were down to a choice between those and some actual full-fledged songs, I probably would have opted for the latter. "Brain Problem Situation" is great, and I also quite enjoy "We Live in a Dump" and "Microphone." "I'm Your Boyfriend Now" is clever, but seems a little on the novelty side. I mean, it sounds like something Weird Al might have written, and I know the Johns have been annoyed at comparisons to Al in the past.
