The Party's Over (Smoking Popes album)
The Party's Over is the fourth album by pop rock group the Smoking Popes. It is a collection of ten cover tunes that was recorded in 1998 as a perfunctory effort to fulfill the Popes' part of their recording contract with Capitol Records. The album was rejected by the label, and the band was released from their contract as they had hoped.[1] The album was released five years later (in 2003) by Double Zero Records.[1]

The album received a lukewarm review by Tim DiGravina on AllMusic. Gravina posed the question of whether the album was worth waiting the five years it took to release it, and said that "While the answer is mostly no, there's still enough vigor and crackle on display to pump up the diehards."[1]

gollark: TC2020 or osmarks.tkcraft™™™™™?
gollark: Which aforementioned project?
gollark: See, osmarks.tkcraft™ would, hypothetically, as it does not exist, have maybe 60 mods, and I wanted to know how to manage updating them easily.
gollark: Are there just few enough to do it manually and/or listen for the pronouncements of the great squidly one?
gollark: Wait, how does the SC team keep mods updated?
