New York Rock and Roll, January 2, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Analog Heads Gone French (Audio CD)
People say a lot about the revival of RnR in NYC; that it's cool to play guitar again and to wear jackets with zippers in the wrong places and to cite A Certain Ratio as an influence. They are right, to those who never heard of Gang of Four until six months ago and are amazed that rhythm guitars can have angles, bass lines can can be danceable, and choruses can be catchy, new NYC rock seems to be innovative, or at least as innovative as their derivativeness allows. Well, so what? There has got to be something more and that something more is knowing how to rock. This is what separates Cheap Trick and the MC5 from The Pop Group and it is what separates Tiger Mountain from The Strokes, The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, etc. Clever songwriting, big changes, big guitars, harmonies and all in the service of the evil powers of Rock and Roll. Recommended.

Great, classic riff rock, June 13, 2003

These guys kick it! Real rock n' roll with big, juicy guitar hooks you can sink you teeth into. Buy this album and take a break from all the droning, 20 year old blondes and guys prancing and shouting in sweatsuits. I can't wait to see these guys live!
