Album review: Heidecker & Wood -- 2.5 stars

"Some Things Never Stay the Same"
Heidecker & Wood

In their return as soft-rock troubadours Heidecker & Wood, Tim Heidecker of "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" and Davin Wood, that show's composer, continue their ridiculously faithful send-up of arguably rock's most ridiculous era. Mining the bleary-eyed line between '70s indulgence and '80s uncertainty, the duo's second album begins with its most overt gag, before the joke becomes just how closely they mirror the ramblings that once dribbled out of Harry Nilsson and Randy Newman. Those who love this period as much as this pair does will enjoy this "Rutles"-style treatment.
