5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Album, May 28, 2001

It's a shame this album wasn't released in the US, because it's truly an outstanding work. Some of the popish songs are weaker than the previous works (The Main Attraction), but some of the band's finest works are on this album (Safecracker, Therapist, I'll Get Them In). I hope they come out with another release soon. If you've ever heard and enjoyed any TCS, you must get this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hidden Treasure, January 19, 2004

The Trash Can Sinatras continue to impress. It's unbelievable how impossible to find this lp is. I actually stumbled across it in NYC at a Village record shop for only 8.99 ! For some reason, it was used. Number one, why would someone buy this if they didn't know who the band was ? And why wouldn't they like it once they did hear it ?

The Trash Can Sinatras still have their sound going for them, but have managed to put out something very different from Cake and I've Seen Everything. Every song is excellent. Their ingenius wordplay still continues ("Beauty is sin deep" from "Twisted and Bent"). Though some songs obviously grab you sooner than others, like the one I mentioned, along with "Make Yourself At Home," The Genius I Was," and "I'll Get Them In.," eventually you begin to realise how awesome and beautiful every song is. If you do ever find this album, it's worth every pretty penny you might have to spend. I'm fortunate I got it for as little as I did. I would've easily spent 30 or 40 bucks, quid, yen, whatever. Brilliant to say the least. And some more great news... Their new one is finally coming out soon, entitled "Weightlifting." It's gonna be great !

5.0 out of 5 stars Hands down most under-rated band ever ...., July 29, 2004

...Not much more needs to be said. As for 'A Happy Pocket', it's probably one of my most treasured disks. They are coming on tour in the US in September 2004 and releasing a new album. If it is anything like 'Pocket', it should be one unbelievable album.
