Now where did I put that gun?

Smash Mouth's latest, Get the Picture?, is the perfect album -- that is, if you are 13 and your mother heavily censors what you listen to. There's nothing offensive, edgy or even heartfelt on the disc.\nThe album is track after track of tunes suitable for younger teenagers who don't curse (the band even goes so far as to say, "Good Gosh," in "You Are My Number One" -- which can only be described as the whitest reggae song ever recorded) and those that can only perceive love by what they've found on television. Anyone else shouldn't waste their time\nThroughout the course of its career, Smash Mouth has been at best mildly entertaining. At worst it's as nauseating as intestinal parasites. This album skips the former and drives with irritating fury towards the latter. That is to say it sucks.\nThe melodies are trite and the lyrics are downright insulting to the listener, "We need a new planet/ You were a rock but I took you for granite." In fact there isn't a single reason for ever listening to this album. One might hope for at least a catchy little tune primed for airplay, but the aforementioned "reggae" song is the radio track. It's even got two versions on the album, the second's subtitled "Radio Remix." And that, is all that really needs to be said.
