The henchman whoWhen he inevitably hits Hollywood, Falkous will slip naturally in to the part of the arch overlord's evil henchman. The henchman who dispatches the weak, the dubious, and the downright annoying with his sly, bombastic, and ultimately fatal pronouncements. Deep down we all want to be him - this album gives us a taste of what it will be like when we all eventually become him.… Full Review »
