Speaking Entirely Hypothetically
If you had the choice between getting Daphne & Celeste's album, We Didn't Say That, or their individual singles, which would you plump for? Are there any lost gems on the full-length, or can I be satisfied with Oooh, Stick You and U.G.L.Y.?

I recently purchased the full-length. It is magnificent. Ten tracks, of which only three are relatively weak--and even they have their moments. Full-length's inclusion of the hilarious "I Love Your Sushi" would be worth the price alone (features a smooth Japanese rapper extolling virtues of Daphne and Celeste in his native tongue), but "Roll Call" is catchy as hell, and "Never Been to Memphis" features an impression of a dyke cowgirl that would just be wrong if it weren't so fucking hilarious. How did this album even happen? Daphne and Celeste were a great missed opportunity in pop, berated by humorlous rock fans and pubescent girls who flocked to Britney Spears gyrating in a modified Catholic school girl outfit instead. Sad, really.
So. Get the album, if you haven't already.
