Description:
"These smartasses also happen to write the best hooks extant in rock music, and their delicious power pop is guaranteed to make old farts like me jump on the couch and play air guitar. The fourteen songs here borrow shamelessly from every great band from The Beatles to Weezer, and if they dont really do anything here that they havent done on their previous three albums, songs like "Someone to Love" and "New Routine" certainly reinforce the notion that that there is, and always will be, an exalted place in the rock n roll canon for three-minute songs with clever lyrics and singalong choruses. Best of all is "Fire in the Canyon," where the smirk is replaced, finally, by some honest, melancholic soul-searching, sweetened by spot-on Simon and Garfunkel harmonies. -- Andy Whitman, Paste Magazine (Vigin Records)
