5.0 out of 5 stars Trash Pop, March 20, 2010

...is how The Gay Blades describe themselves. I'm not sure exactly what "trash pop" is, but I know this album is chock-full of great, sing-along tunes from cover to cover.

I bought it on a whim after randomly hearing "O Shot" on the radio, and youtube-ing the music video. They seemed fun, energetic, and different from your average rock/pop band. The album itself starts off with this single, and moves into some very different-sounding songs. I was a bit turned-off at first, expecting the songs to sound a lot like this single, but found myself coming back again and again to the point where I listen to and sing-along with every song on the album.

I highly recommend this album to anyone who enjoys music filled with soul. Even though they're only a guitar and drums, they fill the void with an energy and soul unparalleled in most modern groups. So stop reading and buy the album already!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums of the year, September 23, 2008

The Gay Blades have an original sound in a way that I haven't heard in a long time. Each track crackles with energy, enthusiasm, and tongue-in-cheek wit. I expected to hate them, but this is easily one of the year's best albums.
