The obvious drawback is that the seven songs, even when they appear on the album twice, do not even make up 30 minutes of music. Thankfully the album is only $10.00.
The songs themselves, as compared to those written by DVN, are not as funny. Still, this is a debut album and they promise more albums in the future. The rejected commercial jingles proves to be a promising gimmick in their later work. Their website also has a preview of another line of gimmick songs—takeoffs of Schoolhous Rock songs.
"Shame and Cookie Dough" is a must-buy for any former DVN fans, and hardcore fans of HomestarRunner.com will hopefully enjoy this comedy as well. Paul and Storm are obvious cool nerds (the good kind), and their brand of humor should appeal to people that actually have healthy senses of humor.
So if you reached into your cargo pants and found an extra President Hamilton in your pocket, it's definitely worth its price.

I'm a big DVN fan. They're a bit like Moxy Fruvous, which is a good thing. Paul and Storm opened for the Asylum Street Spankers when we saw them in NYC, which was a total bonus. I'm not sure how I'll like the guitars long term, but we'll see.
I think there are a few DVN tour dates left, but not many.

I also am a huge DVN fan, and there's one more tour date left - the Philly Folk Festival later this month. I've seen Paul & Storm as a duo several times by now, and their performance and their confidence only improve every time I see them.
