32 years old and just out of the service
Couldn't find a job and felt a little bit worthless
Xbox all day, hangin' with my bros all night
Playin Toby Keith on the radio
A whole lotta beer and a little bit of smoke
Turnt on up, pretending it's all right
Then my pickup tuck got repossessed
Had to borrow dough to go and take the dog to the vet
So broke and worn out it made me want to scream
Then I got a text, about a new place in town
The crew was gonna go and let it all hang out
Gonna hit the club, and have the night of my dreams.
It's got me saying, 'oh yes'
Tonight is the night of the wet t-shirt contest
Use your eyes, those women have breasts
No imagination wet t-shirt contest
It's got me saying, 'oh yes'
Tonight is the night of the wet t-shirt contest
It's got me saying, 'oh yes'
Tonight is the night
That's the night my life changed forever
I loaned the second runner my crew neck sweater
And soon she made herself a part of my life
Then I accidentally snuck a shot past goal
It had me praying lord please no
but I went and made that woman my wife
No more pickup truck, got a Honda Odyssey
Took a job at the mall and I couldn't believe
How free and fun and far my old life seemed
Now I'm watching the clock all day Thursday
Gonna punch out of work and wash the world away
Gonna hit the club and have the night of my dreams
It's got me saying, 'oh yes'
Tonight is the night of the wet t-shirt contest
Use your eyes, those women have breasts
No imagination wet t-shirt contest
It's got me saying, 'oh yes'
Tonight is the night of the wet t-shirt contest
It's got me saying, 'oh yes'
Tonight is the night
They say that Jesus Christ died for our sins
But if I keep on sinning am I killing him again and again?
Oh Lord, I don't want his blood on my hands.
No Ford, I'm rollin' in my minivan
From Japan, it fits the whole family.
Oh man, it's got so many seats.
My Honda Odyssey, it gets a great MPG

Apart from the fact that 'Reach for the Stars' is a perfect example of everything I love about computer music, the whole album is just an absolute belter of a piece of work. The soaring pitch-bent melodies and arpeggios, the basslines that make me want to dig out Thunderforce IV and the fact that (I don't say this lightly) some of the arrangements and progressions remind me heavily of Tim Follin. An utterly exceptional piece of work. Pure gold. Remote_

I'm a bit late picking up on these guys. Been discovering music retroactively on Data Garden through Spaceship Aloha. That said, I really was delighted to find this album. Instant buy. Can't pick a favorite track, but I will say Hot Plate all the way through Stomper feels like the strongest opening trio of songs that I've heard in awhile on any album. It doesn't hurt that it makes me feel like Mega Man exploring perilous worlds. Dev Bhat
