5 out of 5 stars Tut-tut, rest your gentle soul..........2003-11-27

The Navins will smooth your hair and sing you to slumber. You'll dream of rainbows and ponies who let you brush their long, flowing hair.

If God was smoking a Dunhill in a lounge in midtown, He'd insist on the Aluminum Boys being on the turntable.

Bravo!

1 out of 5 stars please let them know.......2001-11-05

there is a difference between artists who KNOW they
belong in a loungy lounge, and those who haven't
figured it out yet... conn, o'rourke - they know
they're playing lounge music and it's okay because
everyone's in on the joke - themselves included. the
aluminum group is not aware that they belong in
a swanky lounge. they think they're great! patting
each other on the back after the show. swanky swank.
they pop their bass strings. case closed.

4 out of 5 stars Tender listening.......2000-03-05

Bringing it back to basics: lovely harmonies, acoustic guitars, real brass instruments, and an almost folky nature. The delicious original version of "Chocolates" is here along with pop gems like "Girls Bike". This album is actually quite complex, some tracks are rather somber and contemplative (Fossil), others book-smart and fez-wearin' (Kalypso). Standouts (for me) where the brothers' vocal harmony shines through are "Byzantium", and the cover of "Loverly" (from 'my fair lady'). The brass and overall tone of "Salut au monde" makes me want to dash for the skip button, but then there are redeeming pop tunes (Tell me where you are) that lift you back up. Mmm'kay?
