British Invasion bliss from great little Seattle band. Big Star is an apt comparison, especially so with the fact that Posies Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow have joined Alex Chilton as sidemen.--Jeff Bateman
Product Description
12 tracks. Good power-pop from reformed BIG STAR participants. Still sealed with small cut in jewel box over barcode.

I remember hearing "Dream All Day" on the alternative station in Chicago back in 1993, but that's all. The other day I snagged this disc from the used CD store because I recognized that song's title, but this is the first time I've heard the rest of the tunes. Wow, where has this disc been hiding? This is sort of like dada meets T. Rex meets The Cars meets Big Star. Awesome, just awesome power pop, great hooks and melodies and harmonies. And the price is right. I wish I'd bought a new copy on Amazon instead of buying used -- the new is actually cheaper. Get this disc if you like smart, catchy power pop.

This is the high point of the Posies' career so far. Dear 23 is great; this one is even better. It rocks. It moves you. It's very creative, yet most of the songs sound like they belong on the radio -- at least, the mythical radio of my youth where all good, catchy songs are played. I wouldn't be surprised if this eventually becomes a serious cult favorite, one of those Big Star/Nick Drake things where a great artist or album that wasn't very popular in it's day becomes a touchstone many years later. That's how good this is. Five stars isn't enough. Six, maybe.

I'm not going to do anything but throw my voice in with the chorus. Brass ring indie rock. If you miss the days of smart propulsive music this is where to go.Tight harmonies, intriguing lyrics, jagged melodies, and full-on band interaction. A masterful malange of 60s, 70s, and 80s guitar rock mixed and matched with no concern for the namecheck.My only regret is I waited so long to buy this. Get this ahead of the revival curve where in 2010 everyone admits that they liked this on VH-1.Another piece to support my theory that guitar rock was perfected in the early nineties.

I bought this music and knew nothing about the band, I like it but don't listen to it often. Music is cheery and upbeat, songs are relatively the same. Read more

not that good, actually
Don't listen to all these rave reviews. This is not great pop music by any stretch of the imagination. Dream All Day is good, but then you probably knew that back in 1993. Read more

100% Sugar - Yum Yum
Perfect pop tune after perfect pop tune until completing a round, perfect power pop record. Gorgeous melodies and harmonies, this is The Posies at their best.
