Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Guess They're Not Dumb.......2004-11-07

The Wondermints manage to convey all the zaniness, energy, experimentation, and, yes, childlike wonder of the 1960s and 1970s without any of the lazy, druggy self-indulgence that occasionally marred the astral travels of those decades. This album, like Todd Rundgren's "Faithful," pays homage to beloved and influential music, though in this case the music draws heavily from cult favorites, overlooked jewels (like Brian Wilson's sublime "Guess I'm Dumb"), or completely left-field choices like "Barbarella." Prepare to be entertained--and maybe find some soulmates.
