5.0 out of 5 stars The best CD in years...., January 20, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Love At Absolute Zero (Audio CD)

This is one amazing piece of work. Can you seriously say you are hearing anything better than "Absolute Zero" or "Absolute Beginners Again" on the radio these days? This band takes what was good about 80s music to a whole new level. Sure there are numerous New Wave influences here, but this CD is a testament to the fact that My Favorite have a style all their own. What's most impressive about this CD, a virtual rarity these days even among the most popular artists, is that there is not one bad, or even mediocre track included. This is simply a superb collection of songs that one can listen to over and over again.

I've been a fan of My Favorite for years, having done sound for them way back in the mid-90's at a little dump of a bar on Lond Island. They blew me away back then, and they continue to impress me today, with this surprising comeback after years of hearing absolutely zero (:)) about them! This full length (certainly not their first, but first official I suppose) is an impressive blend of new wave synths, dark lyrics about suburban angst and an overall emotive feel...

Much more polished then their (nearly impossible to find) "The Day the World Turned Blue" full length and "Briton Riot Tape" first demo, "Love At Absolute Zero" will appeal to any fan of New Order, The Smiths, The The, or newer acts such as Belle & Sebastian (less acoustic), The Sea & Cake, etc. Don't forget to pick up their 3 new EP's as well, or simply get "The Happiest Days Of Our Lives", which includes all three EP's plus a disc of remixes... you WON'T be disappointed... these guys write amazing songs with equally amazing lyrics, and capture suburban life like no other band around today. Not to be missed...

4.0 out of 5 stars overlooked but great retro pop band, June 26, 2003

For Eighties pop lovers -- I discovered this album accidentally and couldn't believe there could be a band this unknown and this good. 17 Berlin is an unbelievable song. Human League meets Simple Minds meets early OMD. If you like 80s synth pop, and love bands like Magnetic Fields, Barcelona or Laptop, by all means buy this album; you won't regret it.
