4.0 out of 5 stars Fire Retro rockets!, October 2, 2000
By D. Hartley (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Although at times they trod upon ground already claimed by Jellyfish, High Llamas or the Pizzicato 5, the Wondermints have pulled off a uniquely "groovy" set of sunny power pop on this album. "Instantly catchy" is the operative phrase here. These guys don't just wear thier retro influences on thier sleeves, they proudly unfurl it on banners, with song titles like "In And Around Greg Lake". Each song seems to be an homage to a specific 60's or 70's artist; Beach Boys, Beatles, Todd Rundgren are the most obvious touchstones, and I swear there's a lost Klaatu song in there too!(An homage to an homage? Discuss.)Crack musicianship and vocal arrangements abound. If you need a break from souless techno noodling or mopey, "important" discordant poseurs, "pop" open a box of curiously refreshing Wondermints!

5.0 out of 5 stars Let's Go To Bali..., January 27, 2001
By Derrick Demase "bigd2192" (Bridgeville, PA USA) - See all my reviews
As I ponder for the first time the newly released "Bali" CD, I can only offer one comment: picks up where Jellyfish left off (and that's a compliment)! Are you sure that's not Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Jellyfish, Imperial Drag) on keyboards under the Witness Protection Program or something? (-;

Good luck guys; you sure passed the Brian Wilson audition! (-:

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome record!, September 8, 2000
By Ed (Madison, WI) - See all my reviews
This is pop so well-crafted and catchy that it just leaves me speechless. I bought this last weekend and have wandered around since then humming Puppet Grrls R Go. That is, when I'm not humming Cellophane. I just can't help it. Now I may just have to buy the imports, although I really wish all of these discs would be domestically released as they should be. Wondermints R Go!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wondermints
I bought this album several years ago at a Brian Wilson concert. It's a whole lot of great songs. Darian writes the kind of songs you wanna hear over and ever again. Read more

Terrific power pop album. The Brian Wilson influences are clear, and are wonderful.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, not great.
Bali is a clever pop offering but it's also over-reaching and too derivative for my tastes. Perhaps its only intention is to be an encomium of 60's pop. Read more
