4 stars is as 4 stars does....great album.

I am 43 years-old and for some reason (band voodoo, I am guessing) the Greenhorne's style of music transports me back-in-time 25 years to when I used fake IDs as a high schooler to sneak into Nashville-area bars to see kickazz bands passing through town. These guys = a raw, emotional, inspired, talented sound.

Clearly, I am no music reviewer. I just like this album/group and thought I'd share.

The Greenhornes a Cincinnati, Ohio based garage rock band, surprised me with this album, it had been 8 years since their last studio full lentgh album "Dual Mono", they did release an ep in 2005 "East Grand Blues", but I didn't think we would see this guys again, since Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler were doing projects with Jack White.

Here on this great little platter "4 Stars", the 60's again meet the 2010's. There British sound makes this band so special. The rhythm section of Lawrence and Keeler are just great with lead vocalist and guitarist Craig Fox doing great through out the whole album.

The songs that stuck out for me were, "Underestimator", a beautiful 21/2 minute rocker, "Better Off Without It", with some fine keyboards by Andrew Higley, the soul sounding "My Sparrow", just a tremendous song, "Need Your Love", brings to mind 1966, good rocker. The nugget sounding "Left The World Behind", love the guitar by Craig Fox on "Go Tell Henry", the Kinkish "Get Me Out Of Here", and the r&b sounding "Hard To Find". It's too bad nobody even plays The Greenhornes, they are a nice little band.

with the release of this album the best band in america is back with a vengeance.despite the "vacation" from the band( dead weather, the racontuers) the greenhornes picked up right where they left off!!! primal garage rock at it's best!!!!!

amazon uk messed around my order and i had to wait weeks to recieve this item. however, it was well worth the wait. well inspired by the kinks and overall a great rock album. btw, you probably won't be getting it on coloured vinyl.

Definitely recommend the record. Blistering. Just be aware that the vinyl will likely not be any color but black, which is, in fact, the absence of color.

This actually comes on 4 different colors...I guess it is potluck and since I will never open mine, when I decide to sell it, it will be a big surprise for whoever gets it...and after all, it's the quality of the music, not the color that matters. ;)

Overrated. That is my one word for this album. There are lots of people saying this album is very good, but I tend to disagree. Which is just my opinion, but I was not impressed with this release.
