MC Chris - Part Six Part Two



The second part of this slightly absurd project wasn't quite as enjoyable as the first, but still a solid, funny release. While I didn't like the songs quite as much, the album does flow a bit better, as actual music is only interrupted by skits once instead of three times. The first two tracks are incredibly nerdy. "Zuckuss' Prius" is another in the series of Star Wars bounty hunters and their rides, though not as catchy as the one on the last album. "Neville" is about Neville Longbottom from the Harry Potter series, and has a nice ska groove as Chris spits about one of fantasy's most important total dorks. The last two songs change focus a bit. They feature some auto-tuned singing in the choruses, and focus on the fairer sex. Though "Japanese Maid" has its own geeky flair, putting Chris in the shoes of the protagonist of some trite anime. The skits continue the story of Chris' tour through hell, and while they're not as gut-busting as Part One's bits, you have to like something that features references to Guts and six minutes of wacky names for bad guys. I'm not sure when the third part is supposed to come out, but I'm looking forward to it.
