    With songs with titles like "This One's For Couples," "Looks Like Billy Joel," and "Farrah," it's a dead certainty that Homeroom don't intend to be taken seriously. And while the humorous subject matter that permeates this album is commendable, somehow the basic pop-rock music fails to hit the mark completely.
