Contents. Overview In interviews leading up to Hi-Five Soup! 's release, lead vocalist (The MC Bat Commander) described the album as ' -meets-The Aquabats', noting 'the themes of the songs are just kind of silly and stupid.it's less trying to appeal to a little bit older crowd and just trying to appeal to the Halloween costume crowd'. Of the album's music, he mentioned 'there's more stripped down kind of sounds' and 'we have been relying a lot more on the keyboards and there's a lot more electronic stuff in there, but I think kids will be surprised that there are some songs that sound a lot like old school Aquabats'. Musically, Hi-Five Soup! Continues in the guitar and keyboard-driven rock and sounds that The Aquabats established on their previous album, though incorporates slightly stronger elements of and. The album also includes touches of, present on songs such as 'Hey Homies!'
, 'Luck Dragon Lady!' And 'Radio Down!' , the latter featuring an appearance from, as well as a song, 'In My Dreams!' Lyrically, the album makes no deviation from The Aquabats' trademark style of comedic -influenced narrative songs (most notably on ') and homages (such as on 'Luck Dragon Lady!' , which is based on the 1984 fantasy film and directly quotes a line from ' by ), while also retaining some of the -centric social satire present on Charge!!, as heard in 'Pink Pants!' And 'Just Can't Lose!' Hi-Five Soup!
Is the first Aquabats studio album to feature guitarist (Eagle 'Bones' Falconhawk), who joined the band in 2006. Thus, it was also the first not to feature Falconhawk's predecessor (Chainsaw, the Prince of Karate) as an official member, though Pollock did contribute guitar tracks to the album under the credit of an additional musician. Production history In March 2010, after almost five years of minimal recording activity since the release of, The Aquabats announced plans on their website to hopefully release a new studio album by the end of the year.
The project went entirely unmentioned until October, when the band confirmed that an album had in fact been independently recorded with producer Cameron Webb and was set for release on November 9, 2010. However, The Aquabats secured a last-minute with, who chose to push the release date to January 2011 to allow proper promotion and marketing, instead releasing the EP on November 9, containing the album's first single. In mid-December, The Aquabats revealed the album's title and artwork, releasing its second single, ', for shortly thereafter. In promotion of the album, The Aquabats embarked on a tour supporting, playing 21 shows across the Midwest and east coast regions of the United States. In December 2011, the band underwent a five-show tour of Australia, their first visit to the continent. Two months after Hi-Five Soup! 's release, it was announced that The Aquabats' independently filmed, had been picked up as a series by United States cable channel.
Spending most of 2011 in production, there was no further touring behind the album, nor was a music video produced. However, several songs from Hi-Five Soup! Have appeared in the series, most prominently in the first-season episode 'EagleClaw!' , which included a live performance of 'The Legend Is True!' Filmed at a concert at The Glass House club in on November 5, 2011, and the second-season episode 'The Shark Fighter!' , which was based off the song of the same name and features both the original song and an orchestral arrangement. Reception Upon its release, Hi-Five Soup!
Became the highest-charting Aquabats album since 1997's, peaking at 181 on the, as well as reaching 5 on Billboard 's, the band's highest placement on the chart. Critical reception to Hi-Five Soup! Was mostly positive, though many reviewers had slightly mixed feelings towards what they perceived was a prominent influence from Yo Gabba Gabba!, the popular children's television series Aquabats singer created and composed for, due to the album's light-hearted lyrical content and accessible synthpop and electronica elements. Gave the album a 3.5 out of 5 star rating, feeling ambivalent towards the album's 'kid-friendly' slant but stating 'there’s still enough of the Aquabats’ exciting musical arrangements mixed with a newfound obsession with electronica alongside their zany cartoonish storytelling to make the album enjoyable for listeners of any age'. Echoed similar sentiments in another 3.5/5 rating, writing 'While the Aquabats have never been known for mature songwriting, Hi-Five Soup!
Walks a thin line between fun pop-punk and a full-on children’s record', summarizing 'The album is by no means a masterpiece, but the addition of a few of its most promising tunes to the Aquabats' live show will make the experience that much more entertaining for the parents and kids in the audience'.

It's been almost six years since the Aquabats released an LP. Sure, they've been busy with their award-winning Nick Jr. Television show, Yo Gabba Gabba!, producing The Aquabats Super Show! And touring the world several times over, but what kind of an excuse is that? Buncha slackers if you ask me.
In a December 2010 interview with the OC Weekly, MC Bat Commander Christian Jacobs said Hi-Five Soup! Would be ' definitely a departure.
Aquabats Super Show
I guess what we came up with is more Yo Gabba Gabba! Expounding in AMP Magazine, he claimed, ' I think this new record has more stuff like that on it, silly kid stuff, which is fun. It's less trying to appeal to a little bit older crowd and just trying to appeal to the Halloween costume crowd.' Given that the Aquabats have never exactly been pandering to the inner grown-up in all of us, that should tell you how kid-friendly this album is. It's got a gang chorus of what sounds like children and/or Brobee's posse along with a verse of Auto-Tune ('B.F.F.!'
), a hugs-not-thugs anthem ('Hey Homies!' ) and an appearance by 2003 internet sensation Strong Bad of Homestar Runner fame ('Pink Pants!' But there's still enough of the Aquabats' exciting musical arrangements mixed with a newfound obsession with electronica alongside their zany cartoonish storytelling to make the album enjoyable for listeners of any age.
Following in the same style of synthed-out pop-punk as 2005's Charge!!!, songs like 'Poppin' a Wheelie!' , 'Just Can't Lose!'
And the album's opener 'Shark Fighter!' Buzz and whir like Devo on a sugar high. The Yo Gabba Gabba! Influence is audibly apparent on those tracks like 'Radio Down!'
(which features legendary rapper and YGG! Star Biz Markie) and 'Hey Homies!' , whose robotic electronic rhythms beep to the beat under a plethora of auxiliary vocals. The best songs of the album are those that vaguely revisit the band's early years as a staple ska act like 'In My Dreams!' And the epic closer 'Luck Dragon Lady!' , which enters with a head-bobbing rocksteady beat and morphs into an electro-rap halfway through before returning to the grandiose refrain for a formidable outro. The only downsides to the ultra kid-friendly themes is that there isn't any (albeit light) social commentary like 'Idiot Box' or 'Fashion Zombies', while songs like 'B.F.F.!'
And 'Hey Homies!' Genuinely do sound like they belong on a Nick Jr. Children's show. Jimmy the Robot doesn't pull out his saxophone once on the album (bummer), and there aren't really any cute relationship songs like 'Red Sweater', 'Lovers of Loving Love' or 'Hot Summer Nights'. The closest to anything like that on here is 'In My Dreams!' With the line ' We can be together if we only believe / But then you go away / But tonight I'm dreamin' テ「ツ x80ツ話out you tonight.'
In the grand scheme of the Aquabats' discography, Hi-Five Soup! Will probably land somewhere in the middle on the perpetual scale of greatness. Behind The Fury of the Aquabats! But slightly better than.vs. The Floating Eye of Death!, Hi-Five Soup is the right album for the midst of the Yo Gabba Gabba!
It's the best record Fearless has put out in ages, but will hopefully be the last that requires a supporting cast so the Aquabats can write their next album as the sovereign band of superheroes we've come to love.
