5.0 out of 5 stars Swedish band unlikely messiahs of power-pop !, July 6, 2000

I must admit I discovered The Merrymakers by accident when scanning the web for info on the great Andy Sturmer.I was highly sceptical at first but upon first listen, I realised that Bubblegun was a pop gem! I never thought that there would be a band to replace Jellyfish but not only do the Merrymakers pull it off with delightfullly melodic tunes and masterful musicianship, they have excelled ! I would rate "Under the light of the moon" as a modern day classic akin to anything by the Beatles or Jellyfish.There are also traces of Badfinger, the LA's ,the Posies to be heard in Merrymaker's music.It almost makes me want to pack up and move to Sweden ! Trust me and buy this fabulous album.You will be instantly hooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars If they don't MAKE you MERRY, you're hopeless., May 5, 1999

I can't say enough about this delightful CD! I sampled it here at Amazon after hearing "Fine Line," and fell madly in love. This CD is divine through and through. Infectuous pop at its best, with harmonies to die for, especially on "Sad." The lyrics to "April's Fool" are particularly clever, and "Monument Of Me" & "She's A Radio," from the bonus CD are loads of fun. Besides the obvious (Beatles), I hear a La's influence (at least on "I'm in...Love!"), which is a GOOD thing. Do yourself a favor, and pick this up!

4.0 out of 5 stars Just like candy, November 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bubblegun (Audio CD)

I originally picked up this cd at the college radio station i work at, www.kvrx.org and i was really surprised. It's straight British pop with a good beat. The lyrics aren't the greatest, but if what you're looking for is a good cd to pop in when you're in a good mood, this is it. I try and play a song from the cd every week on my show.
