Here are some reviews from actual human people........"JIPPEDO's grimy, unrefined experimental-shout music makes the group sound like the house band of a dark, haunted carnival arcade." ~Whitney Hawke, Willamette Week 10.15.8.........................here's another review....................thnx for the request. but im afraid im gonna decline because you are not acapella in any way and you do not make music. it is more like a bunch of stoners with a studio making weird trippy noises i am a music guy i studued music theory all through high school and part of college. the whole song would have to have no instrumental accompaniment. acappella- with no instruments accompanying: said of choral singing. tahs the definition man look it up. just because the beginning and other parts have short segments with no instruments doesn't make it acappella. in tenacios d's song tribute they have a little vocal solo but you would never describe them as acappella...............this review was sent in by this guy..........http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=27757672..........................hopefully more to come......hehehehe..........tenaious d??..........
