3 Balloons


3 Balloons is an album by comedian/musician Stephen Lynch. According to his official website, it was first studio album since 2000's A Little Bit Special. As of 5 March 2009, it is available for purchase in MP3 format directly from WhatAreRecords.com. It was made available from other on-line stores starting the following week of March 2009. CDs were made available for sale at shows and on-line shortly after that, and it was released in stores starting 24 March. On the week ending April 11, 2009, the album debuted and peaked at #152 on the Billboard 200.
On his official site, Lynch says:
Most professional news sources did not review the album, with the notable exception of Allmusic's positive review, stating: "Love him or hate him — and that really does seem all there is to choose from — 3 Balloons finds novelty songster Stephen Lynch on a roll, keeping the quality high even when the formula is the same it has been for the past decade."
The album cover is a visual parody of the artwork design for the T. Rex album Electric Warrior.
