Nice softer Powerpop, that you can sweeten your Breakfast with.

Nice softer Powerpop, that you can sweeten your Breakfast with. There are a few electro sounds interspersed that reflects the cover and gladly reminds me of RoXyEpoXie, You know. That Sweetish-Melancholy sound that I still enjoy to this day. Today I will be picking up Social Distortions "ANOTHER STATE OF MIND" DVD from the store. YES!!! Until then, I'll spend the next three-quarters of an hour listening to clean Powerpop and I'll be enjoying my breakfast with some light catchy melodies. The singer sometimes has a slight UDO LINDENBERG Touch, with some Britpop influenced sounds which does not hurt, however. Yes, I do enjoy listening to this disk already and I assume that it will still grow on me the more I hear it. Now, I'm going to shower and think, Everything has it's faults. Autumn came and it fits, Doesn't it? Soft-Dreamin'-Relaxin'-mood music with an electro Touch and clear singin'.

I would not have expected this CD in my life time

(Tranlated from German)
For once, this is a pleasant surprise. Mostly I recieved average or even shit and I must buy the good records myself. I would not have expected this CD in my life time, I am also not sure whether it is available in Germany. It has really great pop songs like "Closer to you" There is also energy, that songs like "All of my money" or "Carry my amp" prove. No, really, a wonderful CD, Great job.

If Guided By Voices played songs like The Ramones
author: Patty Hearst / Blastitude
To their credit, they do label this album as power pop on a sticker, which will not mislead anyone. Lead singer Martin Blasick has a voice like a young Robert Pollard! If Guided By Voices played songs like The Ramones which would be about what it would sound like, also, Pollard would have to be on prozac to produce this result. Should they go on a month long drinking bender? A keg on stage per show across the country? Then they could be Guided by Voices Part II and it would be awesome! As it is, they’re very talented and awesome musicians, who will definitely be around in the future.
