The greatest thing about this group is the vocals do tend to have some tongue-in-cheek humor behind them, however the way they're delivered you may miss it on your first few listens. Normally I would recommend starting from the beginning "As Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing" but I feel that their second album, "City", is by far their strongest.
