Todd Snider - Shit Sandwich

Review by Matthias Klees

Todd Snider's album Shit Sandwich is a collection of songs that showcases his unique and irreverent style. The album opens with the title track, a catchy tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Snider's lyrics are witty and often satirical, with songs like "Greencastle Blues" and "The Ballad of the Kingsmen" poking fun at American culture and politics.

Despite the album's humorous tone, there are also moments of introspection and melancholy. "Just Like Overnight" is a poignant ballad about the fleeting nature of success, while "Happy New Year" is a bittersweet reflection on the passing of time.

Musically, Shit Sandwich is a diverse album that draws from a variety of genres, including folk, rock, and country. Snider's vocals are expressive and emotive, and the backing band provides tight and dynamic accompaniment.

Summary by Matthias Klees

Shit Sandwich is an entertaining and thought-provoking album that showcases Todd Snider's unique voice and perspective. Fans of Snider's previous work will not be disappointed, and newcomers will find plenty to appreciate in his clever and catchy songs.
