Peer Review: Jim Testa, 3rd Class Male




3rd Class Male is a delightful romp in rock and roll's original format that deals with 2 experiences in life almost as inevitable as death and taxes: not getting the reciprocal love you so desire and the woes of the USPS. Right from the songs opening strum you know what you're in for: not too many surprises musically but some well executed lyrics covering all aspects of essential post office terminology "you won't treat me like a priority, you ship me just like parcel post". The call and response chorus would no doubt be fun to sing back during a live performance. It exudes the pure joy of coming up with a clever idea for a song, sitting down, writing it, and being happy with it. However, I will add a disclaimer regarding the last verse: it gets a little racy.
