Possibly not... but it is an album that pays tribute to the kids' band in a fun way. There's no irony or subtle digs at the band, because ultimately they are Australian legends with twenty years of wildly successful albums, tours and TV shows behind them, and this album is definitely legendary in my book".

Tribute Album
An album is a collection of audio recordings (e.g., music) issued on a medium such as compact disc (CD), vinyl (record), audio tape (like 8-track or cassette), or digital.

The album was the dominant form of recorded music expression and consumption from the mid-1960s to the early 21st century, a period known as the ''album era''.

The 8-track tape was the first tape format widely used alongside vinyl from 1965 until being phased out by 1983, being gradually supplanted by the cassette tape throughout the 1970s and early 1980s; the popularity of the cassette reached its peak during the late 1980s before sharply dec ...
