4 out of 5 stars A very good hang up to have.......2004-12-30

Not too bad, great mellow pop songs. The song Caroline could almost get them 4 stars by itself, Long Goodbye, Maroon, and Blue Sky sound like cool 60s Simon and Garfunkel pop songs. I love this CD.

3 out of 5 stars Not up to expectations.......2001-03-12

I was a little disappointed at this effort. So We Go was one of my all-time faves. I should have known they couldnt repeat it without the guitar playing of John Crozier. Second Story is more folky sounding, lacking the lovely, fuzzy distortion atmospherics and understated production quality of So We Go. Still, this is tasty pop confection served with a few tangy twists. Absolutely worth checking out.

3 out of 5 stars wimpy but pretty.......2001-01-03

the idea that people would compare the hang ups to the Kinks is flat out preposterous--that's not saying the Minneapolis popsters don't have merit, however. far better to compare them to a lot of very wimpy Sarah Records outfits from the 80s--nor is that a bad thing. its just that there are a number of bands out there that do this kind of pop stuff with more teeth and daring: PAPAS FRITAS, THE BLACK WATCH, IVY, AND SUGARPLASTIC. still, "the Queen" is an undeniably great great song, one you can play over and over again. the rest of the record is very very wimpy, but pretty. i used to love the hang ups when they were fuzzier and dirtier (their cover of the Byrds "Eight Miles High" on another release is really worth searching out). just wish they'd get their distortion pedals from the pawn shops!!

3 out of 5 stars Work in progress ?.......2000-07-13

I found a couple of worthy cuts but the remainder sounds like a 1st cut demo with the tape speed turned down. Annoying!
