No, this is power pop. Is it Big Star or Shoes, i.e. the best of the genre? No. But it is definitely a worthy additon to your power pop collection. Check out the allmusic review - I find it to be accurate.

This cd could have been a little better i think.My favorite tracks are Say The Same For You,Plaything and All These Years.Say the same for you and plaything have got the rock feel for sure.I've got this on album actually.I got the album when i was like 9 or 10 and i'm 40 now.

I bought this when I read elsewhere that it was true Power Pop, and was excited that this band had elements of both the Rascals and the Raspberries in its personnel. But this sounds nothing like either--and it certainly isn't power pop. Cornish and Danelli, both of the Rascals, and Bryson, of the Raspberries, were not the primary singers or songwriters of their original bands, so assuming a new band with them in it would sound anything like their old bands is a big mistake. This music is tepid, very emblematic of the late seventies. Frankly, what I felt like I was hearing was a so-so imitation of The Little River Band, and that's not power pop, not even remotely. It's "pop" for certain, but very little power. It doesn't ROCK. Stick to the best of the best, the Beatles, of course, and those four Raspberries albums. Accept no substitutes!
