GREAT POWER-POP/ROCK --------MISLEADING TITLE, February 1, 2008
This review is from: Demos Outakes & Rarities (Audio CD)
I BOUGHT THIS CD IN '07 ON THE STRENGTH OF A FEW REVIEWS/RECOMMENDATIONS WHILST RESEARCHING "BEATLESQUE" POWER-POP. GLAD I DID! ITS TITLE BELIES THE FACT THAT THESE ARE ALL **CLICHE-ALERT!** 'FINELY-CRAFTED' AND WELL-RECORDED, FULL-LENGTH, RADIO-READY POP/ROCK TUNES THAT GO WELL WITH ANY SNACK OR OCCASION! IN FACT, DESPITE ITS TITLE, I PREFER IT (SLIGHTLY)TO THEIR "OFFICIAL" SELF-TITLED '00 RELEASE*. BUT, I'D SAY GET THAT ONE TOO! I'D NEVER HEARD OF THEM BEFORE AND AM NOW (SOMEWHAT) SURPRISED THEY DIDN'T GET MUCH MORE POPULAR! IF YA LIKE 'EDGY',GUITAR-DRIVEN, MELODIC ROCK WITH AN OCCASIONAL RETRO INFLUENCE AND WITHOUT ALL THE CALORIES--BUY THIS CD!! (*OR BOTH) GO ON! DECENT USED ONES ARE PROBABLY ONLY ABOUT 5-6 BUCKS!!!!!

Music that needed to be heard, November 21, 2002

"Outakes"? Not really. There's a dozen hit singles on this album.
Maybe it's Fuzzbubble's destiny to be appreciated in this way - the discovery of great music just when everyone thought it was buried forever.
These guys re-wrote the book on power pop, because they fully understand both elements: power AND pop.
I haven't seen them in a while. Maybe we'll all be seeing more of them someday.
