I hate to hear that.

ok im going to expand

its more electronic/hip hop, less folky acoustic banter that i loved from the first

Hurt Feelings starts off good, ends meh

We're Both In Love With A Sexy Lady has a great beat and some potential but then gets really repetitive like they ran out of lyrics

Carol Brown is the one standout

the rest i hated

so..... is it just the songs from S2?
because they had some great ones, at least in terms of videos and how they fit into the show. Like "Too Many Dicks on the Dancefloor" and "Sugarlumps". Those might be the electric/hip-hop ones that aren't necessarily "good songs", but they were hilarious in the context of the episodes they were in

yeah those are on there and i never saw S2 so just listening to them one by one might kill it, ill have to see the videos to double check

here's a playlist of all the S2 songs. check out the videos of the ones you didn't like.

and you're right about Carol Brown being a standout - the video for that one is phenomenal too. It was on a whole different level than most of the other videos.

overall though, this kind of confirms how they wrote S2. All the songs in S1 they had written previously and were performing them during stand-up shows, and therefore had to stand alone as songs-only, with no video. But for S2, they said they actually mostly started with the premise of an episode first, and wrote a song to fit into the episode, which means the songs aren't as good outside the context of the show.

Be sure to watch "Stay Cool". i'm not sure the Westside Story parody would come through in the song alone...

And another "electronic" one is "Fashion is Danger" It's a 100% spot-on parody of 80's videos, but the song itself is only 'meh'
