This review is from: Get Wet (Audio CD)

I've been a Mentals fan for many years. I really got hot on Creatures of Leisure when it came out, but gradually thought I'd outgrown them. I recently pulled out Creatures of Leisure and it help up really well...So I pulled out some of their CDs that I'd collected used and cut out over the years. Cats and Dogs was great, as was Cyclone Raymond, and the Greatest Hits collection exposed me to some of their earlier singles, and I was surprised that I liked what I heard, despite the fact that it was much simpler and more basic than Creatures of Leisure. So I finally bought Get Wet, their first album, and I am more than pleasantly surprised. If you got into the Mentals midperiod as I did, don't be afraid to go back to the beginning. They certainly refined their style and their production techniques as time went on, but they were great right out of the gate.
