Yes, they've done it again. The silver sun boys have combines Beach Boys-esque harmonies with fuzzy guitars, awesome riffs and ultra-catchy tunes to create a stunning album which a lover of any sort of music could easily get into. A must for any lover of contempory music - especially Britpop (although you would swear they were american by their voices). *****

Previously, my review of Silver Sun's "Neo-Wave" was the lowest (3 stars) on this page. Several months later, I would have to say that I was far too hasty in my assessment. This is one that may take some time to grab you, but be patient. Now I think it's vintage Silver Sun. If you don't know Silver Sun, trust me, they're a best-kept secret in America at least (the British and Japanese already know them well).

For a band who soundtracked a summer with lava & last day I was quite dissapointed, at first. With repeated listening the band, who I claimed were better than the Beatles, had some real corkers that eventually stuck in my head with the sunshine of a distant Queen concert. Not as good as the first but not as bad as the Supernaturals.

Admitedly I was unsure for the first couple of listens. Which is probably why it didn't sell as well as it deserved. But it truly is a great album which I cannot put down at all. Better than the first but harder to get into. Buy it! And hope the third comes into existence.

This is a fantastic album with cool and amusing lyrics, great harmonies, and strong rock guitars. The Cheap Trick influences enhance the sound without overwhelming it. Silver Sun captures the sounds of summer on a tiny shiny silver disc.

Silver Sun's latest release is not as strong as their debut CD "Silver Sun" but will be worth having if you really like the first CD a lot. In short, the new sound isn't as classically "Brit-pop" as the first, which is not surprising when one considers that Brit-pop peaked in 1996.

Silver Sun's second album, is a must have. If you've heard the first, it may take you a little while to get into their latest offering, but you'll really enjoy it. Its quite different from the first album, with each song sounding audibly different. It is a fantastic album, and we'll worth the cash.
