Look at the album cover. His merch is a damp napkin. It's like an onion article. It's satire, and I think the OP is having some fun and/or driving some traffic.

It has happened here before. But OP presenting himself as too unhip to rate his own material is a nice implementation of dramatic irony. It adds a lampoon of TB to the equation.
Also, the "should I rat out the kid to his parents" is a hilarious bit of bait to offer up to the tb brigade of perpetual moralizers
The track entitled "MY BABY IS A HUMAN BEING" is so funny!!! Five stars
Who could have guessed that a young man who writes a song titled "Fat People Need Love Too" might be taking the comedy angle with his music.
I don't see the problem here.

Listen to "My Baby Is A Human Being," it is high shelf irony. Really good stuff
Troll Level: Advanced
I wonder how many hits his site got out of this thread.
Well done, OP.

Yeah I'm listening to this stuff as we speak. I really should not be laughing this hard. It's definitely in the category of moron humor (no offense) but still LMAO.
from the libretto:
Let me tell you about my baby
She's got a face
She's got two eyes
One nose
One mouth
And two ears
Let me tell you about her arms
She's got two and two hands
Each with five fingers
That makes ten fingers to touch me with
My Baby is a Human Being
She's A Person
My Baby is a Human Being
She's A Person Her internal organs are covered in blood
That protects the blood from being exposed
She's got two legs
With two feet attached to the legs
Each with five toes
That's ten total
And other body parts
My Baby is a Human Being
She's A Person My Baby is a Human Being
She's A Person My Baby is a Human
She's Alive My Baby is a Human Being
She's a Person
She feels emotions
And possesses cognitive abilities not seen in other such animals such as full blown language capacity as well as reasoning and planning abilities
My Baby is a Human Being
She's A Person
My Baby is a Human Being
She's A Person
My Baby is Alive
It makes me so glad that I'm alive That I'm Alive
That I'm Alive

Looks and sounds to me like it's satire. Biting and somewhat tasteless satire at moments, but satire nonetheless. Not the best I've seen but not the worst.

I guess it depends on genre, for this comedic music it can slide. However let's say of this wasn't comedic in any way. The instrumental I won't even say its bad but just generic and way over charged for the artist. As a bass player we all know we may not be front of the mix but we make it move. The beats for this was well compenent musicians making generic stuff to riff over for a comedian.
Look at comedic rapper Lil Dicky, he has mustard on the beat. One of the top dogs making his beats. And lil dicky is a good rapper just funny. But with good beats and vocals it slaps and sells a lot.
No matter the genre instruments count, even if it is simple it counts. The beat controls the cadence, structure, and flow of the song. If this dude dropped thousands he could have had more relevant music. This sounded like studio musicians making early 2000s UK rap beats. 20 years out dated he could have gotten some instrumentals for way less. And not have to change 350 for an album and then he would sell more.
This is a great example of what I've been talking about here lately. Everyone who wants to get noticed has to have an angle that goes beyond what they are bringing to the table with their artistry. Nice job driving hits to the site 
Awful. Joe Cocker it sure ain't.
I loved every second of this!

No serial #? Unclear if the paper mill that produced this is in Indonesia or who knows where. And all that moisture adds weight. I'm not trying to tidy up with some damp-ass BOAT anchor of a napkin!
Answer: a hell of a lot more than he's gotten in three years of posts in the Effects forum.
I thought his Billy Cardigan stuff was mildly entertaining.
This kicks ass, it reminds me of Ian Dury and the Blockheads, it's British people taking the piss, or having a laugh, as they say.
