Hey, Petrunko is certainly one of those albums that demands a few listens to really understand its intricacies. Ooberman's airy lyrics made up of mystical and dreamlike images may not appeal to everyone but those who are receptive to such nuances should enjoy it. It would be too easy to say this album is a mix of every other music style. To try and be specific, Hey, Petrunko fuses together folk and rock with songs derivative of fairytales, drinking songs and eastern melodies. Upon listening to the opening song Hatch Opens, one should realise we are listening to an introduction that leads into a mini-opera or symphony of sorts. Despite this flashy set-up, there's an undercurrent of realism and maturity running throughout the album. It is this undercurrent that helps prevent the album from going too far astray into tweeness or self-indulgence. Oveall, this album should satisfy those with the quirkiest of musical tastebuds and have them coming back to play it again.
