Good review Al, I added my score. I liked this album alot, but not quite as much as the self-titled, which I think is a severely underrated album. However, besides U,U,D,D.... (isn't that the code for unlimited lives in Contra?) and Pink Cellphone with it's horrendous title and extremely curious lyrical content, this album is still great.
Self-titled album is good but I think this album is better, but it doesn't top White Pony. I agree about Pink Cellphone being a very skippable track. U,U,D,D.... I don't mind too much.
BTW, the song title is U, U, D, D, L, R, L, R, A, B, Select, Start
But the Contra code is U, U, D, D, L, R, L, R, B, A, Start
So yeah, it's a reference to the code but they didn't get it right.
It's not just a cheat code for Contra but for several other Konami titles, including even Metal Gear Solid 3. The code is known as the "Konami Code", it's widely known among hardcore gamers.
) makes it out to be, but it's nowhere near as good as its father song, Pink Maggit, from White Pony.
