This review is from: Make Some Noise (Audio CD)

The Quiet Two rescue satire from the jaws of cynicism, their English accents and acoustic guitar parsing out comic riffs on the random exuberance of the childhood imagination. Many of the songs on Make Some Noise are peppered with nostalgic, truly adult phraseology - the singer croons in "Polar Bear," a song about an under-informed desire to be said animal, "No fussin' about, that's what I want to be," and we never mind that we are listening to an adult channel childish thoughts without ever fully transforming into that inner child.

The density of great acoustic pop songs on this album are a gentle reminder of the standards to which we can and should hold music designed for kids. From the hopped-up, vaguely menacing implications of "You Can't Hide Your Bike" to the satirical superhero song "Ultrafoot" and the brilliant flights of fancy that are "Magic Banana" (the banana can do anything) and "Invisible Trousers" (running joke: the kid's not wearing any pants), Make Some Noise is one of our most-spun children's albums of 2007. This album was originally released in 2005 under the band name "The Quiet Ones," and barely registered; don't miss it with its 2007 re-release.
