"Woo-hoo! This is a great record, and you know I don't say that often. A heavy Beatles influence is evident (if singer/guitarist Steve Rouach ain't a Brit, he wishes he was), but Rouach's arresting, surreal lyrics ("Carnival horses...wishing for sugar/they can't eat with plastic heads"); the band's fresh, often surprising arrangements; and a palpable swagger in the performances and recording, rescues Imaginary bill from the ranks of mere retro posers. This is the real deal, kids! Hard for me to pick a fave from a dozen winners, but that's what they don't pay me for, so I'll toss out "Clark Kent," "Wash," "Bottom Feeder," the aforequoted "Pantomime Horses" and "About Her Toupee" - how's that, boys? The only thing more surprising than the quality of this record is the number of gigs this ostensibly Brooklyn-based band play on Long Island; makes me wonder if I should give the suburban wasteland a second chance...nahh. Fans of Robyn Hitchcock, XTC, Elvis Costello, Blur, the Wannadies, etc. should take special note of a special band." -Demo Universe (August 2001)

Twelve tunes that will keep you smiling and pogoing for days (if not weeks)!!! Clark Kent, Wash, and Pantomine Horses are fresh sounding songs that prove this point. If this is the band's first album, than I predict (and hope) to hear the next one real soon!!!!! Don't wait for the ice cream man. Get yourself a copy today!!!! :)
