Built around the song "Happy Heroes," which appeared on Dispepsi, this EP doesn't support the previous album, but instead functions as a separate entity. While Dispepsi took on the cola wars, Happy Heroes is instead built around Mertz, "the pill that helps you make up your mind." It's a strange follow-up, and wildly uneven. The recurring Mertz spokesperson, fictitious rock star Eddy Idle, is annoying at best.
