5.0 out of 5 stars YES! FINALLY!, October 31, 2006

I just moved away from Detroit to North Carolina, and the one thing I will miss the most is the music; the accessibility of the stores, the artists, and the venues. Musically, it is a truly fine city with plenty of history and character.

This album was supposed to be a out a long time ago (a LONG time ago). It is really a treat for the fans who have gone to the shows to hear these great songs because now they can have them to play at home. This is especially true for me, since I no longer have the ability to see shows in Detroit :*-(

For those who have yet to hear of the Fags, you're also in for a treat. Their sound reminds me the most of Cheap Trick; they write very well crafted songs, but also maintain enough of a rough edge that really keeps this from falling into the category of soulless corporate crap rock.

My favorite song has become 'Rockstar', but again, they write good songs, so enjoy every moment of it.

Yes kids, four years after the release of their debut EP, The Fags

have finally released their full-length debut, and it's well worth the

long,long wait.The Fags have crafted the perfect power pop recipe:

A cup of Cheap Trick, a teaspoon of The Replacements, a dash of Lindsay

Buckingham circa 1978, and a big ole pinch of...Def Leppard?? Yep, Def

Leppard. It all comes together on this brilliant record,where all eleven

songs will get stuck in your head and never leave. In a just world, The

Fags would become rock stars. In reality, we will have to settle for them being the greatest power pop band around.

I will keep this simple. This is a great cd in the mold of Butch Walker, good Checp Trick and other pop bands with an edge. Buy it today!
