Omnipop (It's Only a Flesh Wound Lambchop) is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Sam Phillips. The album's subtitle is a quote from the film The Producers.
Reception
The album was a critical and commercial flop, selling only about a quarter as many copies as its predecessor, Martinis and Bikinis[1] and receiving several negative reviews from music critics.[2][3] In one such review, Mark Caro wrote that the album's "lyrics are more pronouncements than personal revelations, and her observations are less insightful than broad and ornery."[4]
