5.0 out of 5 stars Powerpop kings of Austin, February 26, 2001

This review is from: Decade of Moral Fumbles 1990-1999 (Audio CD)

On Decade of Moral Fumbles, The Wannabes capture the best of their output of the 1990s. A redheaded stepchild of Austin's 1980s New Sincerity scene, The Wannabes brought forth music that shone like a fake id at a girlie bar. When one listens to this CD, there is a clear influence from The Replacements, Cheap Trick and Neil Diamond.(Girl(Let's not have sex))Shining production by John Croslin (Spoon, The Reivers) bring guitars,vocals,bass,drums and strings into a crystalline mix. Anyone into The 'Mats, late era Husker Du or Fastball will really appreciate the wonderful hooks, clever turns of phrase and humorous packaging of this collection--is that Roy Orbison's kid standing next to the Pope?

I bought Decade Of Moral Fumbles because my Lucky Pierre
Cassett got ate up in my car :( and I really needed to
hear Kevin Carney's classic solo on Leg O'Wood!!! Not to say
that it tops the solo on the I Am God solo on the Love me
(silly love songs?) cassett which I adore more so than
the retake done on Popsucker....
Kevin, Thad, Jennings, and Michael (ha sorry Hunter!)
YALL ROOL!
