Summary: Starts off indecent, but gets better near the end.
Comment: Flight of the Conchords should have done a little more brainstorming when trying to come up with things to sing about. This disc has five songs, and two of them are about sex. The opening track, "Business Time," is a rhythm-driven slow jam with the singer breathily monologuing about having sex with his wife/girlfriend... not a very welcoming way to start off your very first disc release. We move on to "If You're Into It," and hey, more sex! This time, the singer is encouraging a girl to have sex with some other guy.
Once you get past those two, the rest of the disc is very good. "I'm Not Crying" is, without a doubt, the best Conchords song yet. The subtle ironies and slight jabs at psychological denial of a lover's rejection are absolutely brilliant. The last three tracks were from a live performance in NYC. "The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room" is quite funny. The between-songs "Banter" is hilarious; a good chance to hear the two guys interacting with the crowd. Finally, the disc ends with "Robots," which, like "I'm Not Crying" and "The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room," is extremely good at subtlely poking fun at its subject matter.
So, in the end you get three very clever songs, a few minutes of good dialogue, and two repulsive songs about sex. Is it worth five bucks? Sure, go for it. The good mostly outweighs the bad.

Summary: The year 2000...
Comment: Fantastic the only thing better than this is the upcoming album, even my wife loves it and tries to sing along! The next album will definitely be getting five stars. This one would too but is just way to short, thats' the only drawback. So if you haven't bought this one yet Don't! Wait till the full album comes out, run to the store, order it from here just get it anyway you can.

Herewith, Sub Pop's debut release from New Zealand's 4th most popular folk-comedy duo (and, yes, okay, also current HBO phenoms), Flight of the Conchords. The Distant Future EP includes Business Time, If You're Into It, and Not Crying, as well as live versions of The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room and Robots. Plus, there's live banter! We will be releasing a Flight of the Conchords full-length recording sometime in early 2008.
