4.0 out of 5 stars Aim right for Novillero. A gem from Canada, July 25, 2005

'Aim Right For The Holes In Their Lives' basically combines melodic power-pop with mariachi-style trumpets, and Novillero pull it off quite well, almost in the same way The Boo Radleys successfully fused Britpop with horns. The best description would be Sloan or The New Pornographers meeting Blood Sweat And Tears and Chicago, with trumpets and keyboards periodically appearing like splashes of colour on a music canvas. Yet Novillero has more depth than gloss, treading into The Dears-like intensity and urgency. Overall 'Aim Right For The Holes In Their Lives' is strong and polished, dynamic and well-produced. It's really worth a listen.

An excellent sophomore record for the Canadians. The songs are crisp and well-produced. I find the songs stuck in my head hours after listening. I purchased a copy of this disk for a friend as well. One of the better sounds to come out of Canada in a while. Listen to "Abbey" and "Aptitude."
