		Those of a more...religious bent may find some of the psyco-sexual views posited as normal in the fic to be off the wall, or perhaps just plain wrong, however, these views are actually very close to how Japanese society views this sort of thing, so the author gets a thumbs up for that.

		More polished than the group’s live performances, the disc opens with the buzz-pop of "Supermarket Tabloid Sunday." The tune is melodically driven, with enough quirks and breaks in the arrangement to keep it from droning on or sounding canned.
		One disappointment is the omission of "Life In A Northern Town," a Dream Academy cover that the band considerably punks out in concert.
		But with this debut, Fizzbin has produced a radio ready, sonically friendly and lyrically edgy effort.

		The biggest appeal of Stanley Random Chess to enthusiasts is the creative and exaggerated commentary[2] that accompanies the game-play, which parodies serious chess commentary and and satirizes the complex terminology of chess analysis in a humorous Monty Python style.
		Although it is sometimes associated with parodies like Mornington Crescent, Fizzbin, and Calvinball, Stanley Random Chess is a playable game, and is actively played by a small number of online players.
		SchemingMind.com is currently the only correspondence chess server where SR Chess can be played.
