5.0 out of 5 stars
Tremendous effort whether you like indy rock or not, February 7, 2007
This review is from: Fidelity Wars (Audio CD)
I bought this cd years ago not knowing anything about the band, much less the songs on the cd. To say I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. Hefner is still one of my favorite bands, although they have since disbanded, no pun intended, okay maybe a little.
Every song on this cd is memorable, meaningful, and heartfelt. The singer may not have the best voice, in fact some may say he has a terrible voice, but it's very distinct, which in many ways makes it more enjoyable and leaves a lasting impression on the listener.
It's hard to pick a favorite track, as each song is catchy and original. This cd has a very raw quality to it that really adds to the melancholy mood displayed throughout. If I had to compare Hefner to another band, I'd say they're an English version of early Weezer stuff. If you like indy rock you'll love Hefner. Check them out.

2.0 out of 5 stars
The Fidelity Wars, February 8, 2006
This review is from: Fidelity Wars (Audio CD)
I bought this CD without knowing who Hefner was, taking a gamble on it really I guess. I'd have to say I was disappointed with the CD for the most part with the exception of Hymn For the Cigarettes, which was by leaps and bounds the CDs strongest song. The rest of the album is much slower and honestly really forgettable.
