5.0 out of 5 stars From Jersey Beat magazine, January 10, 2002

Expertly played lush music, which ranges from border-line pop-punk to indie-pop is played by this Boston band. Boston influences are heard quite a bit here, too, with garage sensibilities inherited from Boston garage greats SORRY, and rich textures endowed by MISSION OF BURMA. "Sixty-five Percent", the track at the half-way point of the disc is a perfect example of the intensity and thick sound that I love best from this band. Another stand-out tracks is number seven, "My Brilliant Wigmaker," which has a driving beat, bouncy vocals and melody, and intense wall of guitar sound. This is one hell of a fun listen, the way rock music should be.

Okay.. I have wanted this cd for about a year, and now that I have finally gotten it for Christmas I can say, it was definitely worth the wait. I had heard a few parts from some of the songs on it and was intrigued with just 30 seconds samples so you can imagine the overwhelming excitement of finally hearing entire songs. All of the tracks on this cd are captivating and pure indie goodness wrapped up in a little bit of pop and emo. You can't deny that all the upbeat punk-ish songs on this album are contagious. But my personal favorites are the slower more melodic songs like "Five little Graves" or the beginning of "Sixty-five percent". Not to mention "Traveler" which is one of the songs on this album I continue to play on repeat. All of their catchy melodies and creative lyrics just pull everything together in a great indie/emo package. Although some parts are kind of cliche, this album is one to put on your list for sure. Yay ivory coast!
