4 out of 5 stars Energetic fun 90s pop.......2003-02-19

I wish there was a half star system available here. This album deserves it. This album is a solid three and half star release. Much to recommend it but just not there. On music alone it is a four star release. But the lyrics are sort of weak. Don't get me wrong, they sound great but on the page, they are slightly lacking. This album is about how it feels not how it looks. I also like the knowing but not slavish debt to the 60s (Yes, they own some Elephant Six records!).

Another downside, I think the album is too short. Granted with the other deficit on the album, I appreciate the "get in, do what you gotta, and split" feel of the album.

I don't want this review to sound like a slag. I think the band is in the ballpark. Next release, I will be there. There is an enthusiasm here which puts this over the top. I haven't felt this way since the slouching towards greatness debut of Starlight Mints. It grows on you! Better than radio pop but just not as good as Beulah's Heartstrings.

4 out of 5 stars quite good.......2002-11-03

I look forward to more from this band. It's a retro sound, but I expect these guys to have more staying power than other recent "retro" bands, ie, the Hives, because of the quality of the writing.
