Five Iron Frenzy 2: Electric Boogaloo is the fourth studio album by the band Five Iron Frenzy. It was released November 20, 2001 by 5 Minute Walk Records, with distribution from ForeFront Records.
Overview
Five Iron continued their tradition of tongue-in-cheek lyrics on songs such as "Pre-Ex-Girlfriend" and "You Can't Handle This". Another theme visited on this album is consumerism in "Vultures" and "Blue Mix". 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.
