I Always Thought They'd Break a Little Bigger.......2006-08-20

TPOH was a Canadian band that put out some terrific material over the course of its underappreciated career. This CD provides a great overview of what you missed.

Time Passes Over Heroes.......2002-01-14

In '88 when I first heard a demo version of 'I'm An Adult Now', I knew this was a band that deserved to be heard (if not adulated) as well as seen. Moe Berg's lyrics, and suitably well-enunciated delivery as well as the tight simplicity of the band's chops made it a college band par excellence.

And even better, one that wrote hummable tunes, one album at a time.

Time passed them by for many reasons, mostly because they never achieved success in the U.S. charts. If they fizzled in Canada, it was because their subsequent albums sounded quite redundant in comparison to 'Love Junk' and it's equally good follow-up "One-Sided Story". They'd shot their load, but not before we were able to hear so many great power pop singles back to back.

"I'm An Adult Now", "New Language", "All I Want", "Hard to Laugh", there seemed to be no end. Kudos for releasing this well-deserved retrospective. All these songs deserve to be accessible.

A note to Razor & Tie from a TPOH fan:.......2000-12-16

Get these guys back in the studio, pronto! I bought this disc, despite owning the 5 CDs it's culled from, as a gesture of support to one of the great lost bands of the last 15 years. I have loved TPOH from the first drumbeat of "I'm an Adult Now" right through the last echo of "The Truth". A tight, rocking band with wit and humor, TPOH deserves a listen from any fan of smart, snappy music. If you can get enough people hooked with this disc, I would suggest a re-release of their back catalogue. The world deserves a second chance to hear this stuff.

Ignored band- what a crime.......2000-08-20

I have been a fan of the band since Love Junk but got away from them because I couldn't find any of thier cd's. Put a search on Amazon and found this "best of" jem. This cd puts todays music to shame. Big hooks,good guitar work,and interesting lyrics put this band ahead of most of the music of thier time. Saw them live at the Pittsburgh show that Moe refers to in the liner notes ( they got drunk with the Replacements). Listening to this cd brought back that night- the best night of rock and roll of my life! Buy this cd- you won't be dissapointed.
