Absurd Pop Song Romance by Pansy Division

Absurd Pop Song Romance is the fourth studio album, sixth album overall, by American queercore band Pansy Division, released on September 8, 1998 by Lookout! Records. Absurd Pop Song Romance saw a major stylistic shift from the punk rock and pop punk sounds of Pansy Division's first three albums, featuring more textured indie rock and alternative rock. This was the first Pansy Division album to feature four members following the addition of lead guitarist Patrick Goodwin. Critical reception was generally positive. AllMusic gave the album a modest rating of 3 out of 5 stars, praising the maturity of the songwriting and Jon Ginoli's "earnest and humorous" lyricism, summarizing the album as "fun, honest, catchy, and energetic".
