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 .
Omnipop was a critical and commercial flop, selling only about a quarter as many copies as its predecessor, Martinis & Bikinis , [1] and receiving several negative reviews from music critics. [2] [3] In one such review, the Chicago Tribune 's Mark Caro wrote that the album's "lyrics are more pronouncements than personal revelations, and [Phillips'] observations are less insightful than broad and ornery."
