I think Michael Talbot perhaps should have listened to the recording before commenting - I think that this is actually well sung, clever and interesting. I don't think we should automatically jump to the conclusion that anything like this is done 'to fill concert halls'- although, come to think of it, filling concert halls is not such a bad aim is it?! I looked this up after I saw it in the UK Observer (you can hear samples online) and have bought a copy on the strength of these.
