"Baby Ray's" bouncy, feel good debut kicks off with "Never Know My Name," a springily catchy pop tune that glides into the occasional pretty spot. Playing with a panning effect, the track grabs your attention, getting you to pay more attention to some of the more subtle guitar and funky bass work happening underneath.

"Buster Pig Man" follows up with an almost Sergeant Pepper style, playful and cute while still pleasantly poppy and serious enough to take at face value. The candy sweet "Sugar Mine" takes on a more traditional pop feel of box chords, walking bass and pretty melody.

The acoustic "Little Red Caboose" moves along a more Celtic style. Incorporating more harmonies and reminding me of some of the more playful Jethro Tull stuff. "Snipe Hunter" trills along in a bluesy vibe that just doesn't work as well as some of the former tunes.

"Curl" croons in a bit softer, sweeter, lullaby kind of way, while "Big Sun's A-Comin'" rolls and climbs through a catchy array of melody and interesting effects. It is here that "Baby Ray" returns to an earlier sound found on their demos. It was songs like "Ice Cream Man" from their first demo that got me interested in this band, and subsequently this first major release.

"Train Wreck" is a bit more experimental then most of the other tracks on the CD, utilizing a more jazzy feel. "The Ballad Of Baby Ray" is perhaps the most fun song on the record, also borrowing a bit from the Sergeant Pepper sound, but over all working into one of those interesting story teller songs.

For the most part "Baby Ray" are an interesting, fun to listen to, pop band. Though I don't believe that "Monkeypuzzle" is the band's best work to come, it is a solid effort and definitely worth checking out.
