Heathrow review from "The Big Takeover" http://www.bigtakeover.com/: Heathrow "The Listening Class", (Easter) - Who says Britpop is dead? Not Heathrow. Over the course of this swinging album, the Milwaukee-based quartet parties like it's 1994, delivering a set strong of hooks chock-a-block with melody. The opening "Honesty," with its soulful backing vocal and dancy rhythms, is a page right out of the Primal Scream playbook (dig that interplay between axemen Matt Fletcher and Eric White), while the lovely, piano-driven "Hey Marty" is the best Lloyd Cole single that Cole should have come up with on his own. The highpoint, however, is the haunting "Just Like You," a paean to hopeful mopeyness where you swear you can almost hear Fletcher's heart breaking. But give these guys credit; while they mine the Britpop vein, they didn't fall slavishly under its spell and create a record that only record-collectors could love. Instead, Heathrow has given us a record that reminds us of all the possibilities guitar-pop has to offer. An inspired effort. - John Micek

Flippin' Phenomenal
author: Jesus Krist
Amazing in Brit-like sound and straight-up Milwaukee lyrics. Every member's talent adds to the profound complexities in this must-have CD. It's pretty and gritty, upbeat and depressing, and "real" the whole way through. Numeros 5 y 9 are my fav picks.

Best album ever
author: Alan Ruck
This is without question the greatest album ever recorded. What's that you say? What about Trip Shakespeare's Lulu? No, my friend, I'm sorry, Heathrow takes the cake.
The only qualm I have?
"Hey Marty" should be the opener and "Just Like You" the closing track.

Bloody 'ell!
author: Daniel Prendiville
This is a fantastic album which makes me want to be 16 all over again (without reliving the tiresome and tedious bits of being 16, of course). The album reeks of aplomb, and while not exactly being the most perfectly performed album you'll ever hear (from a purely techhnical perspective), it's got more spirit and heart than many a major-label release you'll buy nowadays. And all the better for it. A truly fantastic pop album! Buy it now!

Great Power Pop!
author: saddyboy
a great melody mixed w/a rockin' beat is not easy to do...for Heathrow, however, it seems to come very naturally! great melodies, sweet guitar hooks and a rhythm section that's air tight and groovin'...also, great live band!!
