On the surface the symphony's four movements seem to come from different realms: a brisk, purposeful Allegro with a searching development section that climaxes midway in a gnashing burst of dissonant chords; a grimly imposing Funeral March; a breathless Scherzo at once godly and giddy; a romping, mischievous Finale that is somehow the ultimate statement of the heroic in music.

The story of a packaged hot dog, Frank (voice of Rogen), and Brenda (Wiig), the bun he loves (and would very much like to sleep with), Sausage Party ends – or, more to the point, climaxes – with a sexual orgy of processed, perishable foodstuffs, including a bagel (Ed Norton, doing a Woody Allen impersonation) and a lesbian taco (Salma Hayek), that comes close to literal food porn.

Despite production by Jack Antonoff, whose swelling climaxes and echoey fades have established him as the producer of the month in our current pop moment, nobody will mistake this album for an attempt at pop crossover — a spurious narrative whereby erstwhile cult artists suddenly reach out and go commercial even though their idealized retro notions of synthpop sound like nothing currently occupying the pop charts.

First the gliding chorus, then the swooning verse, again the chorus, and suddenly it all explodes into the bridge, suddenly the horns are blasting and the sitar is moaning and a tinkly electric piano is playing these cascading arpeggios and Prince, his voice still smooth and feminine, is squealing howling sobbing in ecstasy, suddenly the music climaxes, spills over the edge, heavy breathing, pounding hearts.
