This album is a favorite on my list of "Perfect Albums" and this band holds a very special place in my heart.

It's from a band out of the Seattle, Washington area called Minus the Bear and this, Highly Refined Pirates, is their first full length album.

Minus the Bear's Highly Refined Pirates is just plain groovy. The album has tracks that make you just want to make out, jump, or dance your ass off. Every song is either about sailing, drinking, or having sex…or any combination of the three.

Stand out tracks are:
"Monkey!!! Knife!!! Fight!!!"
"Absinthe Party At the Fly Honey Warehouse"
"I Lost All My Money At the Cock Fights"

Oh, and the names of all the song interludes are lines from "Starship Troopers" so of course I <3 the hell out of that.
