5.0 out of 5 stars Good Morning Monday Afternoon, February 25, 2003

This review is from: Feel Good Music for the Broke Middle Class (Audio CD)

The title of the cd is so very accurate. You can't listen to this album without feeling good. It's quite a nice contrast to the wide expanse of negative or feel good music. The poignancy of this record is expressed in, "Bite Size Pieces": 'Hey Mr. Radio what's that song with the singer that pronounces his words all wrong?/Play me a song not meant to make me feel small'. The song's poppy, but with a real indie punk vibe, somewhat reminiscent of Sloan, rather than all that pretend Nu-Garage junk. My favorite track is the first, "Magdaline," in which the lead singer calls his significant other Magdaline (as in Mary Magdalene of the bible) and refers to himself as Jesus. I found this quite an interesting idea. The lyrics on this cd are very clever without being comical and therefore avoiding the rut of a joke band. "Good morning monday afternoon..."

This is a REAL solid release from Mad Happy. The sound is very new and fresh. They combine so many different styles to form these great pop songs. I personally love the lyrics. This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Check this one out!!
