4 stars Richard Cheese Rocks
I have to say, I bought this CD on a Lark, thinking it would be OK, and (pardon the pun) cheesy. It is actually really good. Richard Cheese and his band Lounge Against the Machine takes popular songs from various genres and sings them lounge style. The effect is both impressive and slightly humorous.

This CD will not be for everyone, but if you are looking for a different take on your favorite songs, this is the CD for you.

3 stars Avoid This Album
I have been a huge Richard Cheese fan since I heard him a few years ago. I own all of his albums. They swing, baby.

Here's the problem with SSotM: TBoRC -

It is not really a best of album. It's a hodge-podge of tracks. Included are:

*"Big Band Versions" of songs from his first (poorly produced) album with additional instruments dubbed over it...not dubbed well, either.

*A few sparse tracks from his middle 3 albums

*A couple of new tracks that are good, but not as good as his middle 3 albums…
