Despite its somewhat forced humor and their lack of fresh ideas,
Ghoti Hook makes their second album
Banana Man sound energetic.
Ghoti Hook plays the kind of hook-heavy pop-punk that brought
Green Day into the Top 100 -- the only difference is,
Ghoti Hook doesn't always write memorable hooks. Nevertheless, that isn't a deadly flaw, since the group has a tight, kientic sound that makes up for their lack of originality or strong songs, which in turn makes
Banana Man a sporadically enjoyable record. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
