Customer Reviews:

Very catchy love-it-or-hate-it indie pop from Barcelona! - 3.5 stars.......2006-01-01

As I've stated in other Barcelona reviews, this is the kind of band that you either love or hate. You either love the singer's voice (which sounds nerdy and gentle) and nerdy lyrics or you can't stand it. If you like it, however, you're in for a treat. This album is arguably their worst, and they clearly don't mind what people think of their music (I refuse to believe they don't know their music is cheesy. I guess they just love making songs). I do like the band even with all of its obvious faults, and fans of Barcelona will no doubt like this album. There's definitely some bad songs and overall the album's uneven, but it's a satisfying purchase nonetheless. Definitely not for everyone, though. Recommended for Barcelona fans as well as the curious.

Highlights include:
"Why Do You Have So Much Fun Without Me?"
"Sunshine Delay"
"Indian Names" (to an extent)
"C-64"
"Fabled Age" (kind of)
"Unreal"
"Summer Songs"
"The Downside Of Computer Camp"

Fun does not transcend reality.......2000-05-11

This is a whimsical collection of simple, catchy, Moog-driven indie rock with indeed adept use of vocal androgeny. It is only a half-hour long, however, and it carries the same burden of--say--Papas Fritas but without being as musically diverse. It's one thing to revel in geekiness, and that's fine given its time and place, but to call this an immortal 5-star classic must be something of a stretch. It's timely without being trendy, and smart without being as annoying as this review, but a good portion of its slightness is spent in syncopated "datee la de dah" lyrics which tread very thin ice. To the sliver who are satisfied with this, I envy you.
