  • Five Iron Frenzy 2: Electric Boogaloo is the fourth full-length studio album of the band Five Iron Frenzy. It was released November 20, 2001 on Five Minute Walk records. On this record Five Iron continues their tradition of tongue-in-cheek lyrics on songs such as "Pre-Ex-Girlfriend" and "You Can't Handle This. " The album also tackles serious issues, elevating the social commontary to what HM characterized as a "new level of brutal honesty. " "Far, Far Away" was inspired by The Seekers song "Come the Day" and "The Day We Killed" by Dee Brown's book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. The latter song references Crazy Horse, an Indian chief, to speak about racism toward native Americans. Another theme visited on this album is consumerism in "Vultures" and "Blue Mix. " "Blue Mix" specifically addresses practices of the music industry which Roper sees as disparaging when copied within the Christian music industry. Practices attacked include blue mixing, or limiting opening bands sound so that the headliners sound the best, and merchandising controls that raise profit margins at the expense of the band's freedom. As Roper stated to HM: "It really bothers me how often that happens in the Christian industry... it's not okay to do that kind of stuff. " According to the band, "the '2' in the title doesn't signify anything, it is simply a reference to the 1980's breakdancing film, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. " Finally, "Car" is dedicated to the memory of Carlos Ortega, brother of Leanor. It references a poem by E.E. Cummings to remind the listener that each day is a blessing to be cherished.
  • Five Iron Frenzy 2: Electric Boogaloo é o quarto álbum de estúdio da banda Five Iron Frenzy, lançado a 20 de Novembro de 2001. Como nos álbuns anteriores, a banda continua com as letras de cariz social. Como a revista HM caraterizou é "um novo nível de honestidade brutal". A faixa "Far, Far Away" foi inspirada na faixa dos The Seekers, "Come the Day" e "The Day We Killed" do livro de Dee Brown, My Heart at Wounded Knee. A última faixa refere-se a Crazy Horse, um chefe índio, que fala do racismo contra os nativos americanos. Outro assunto abordado é o consumismo em "Vultures" e "Blue Mix". A faixa "Car" é dedicada em memória de Carlos Ortega, irmão de Leanor. Refere-se a um poema de E. E. Cummings que alerta o ouvinte que cada dia é uma bênção que deve ser aproveitada.
