Better Lyrics would make a great album, March 28, 2009
This review is from: Other People (Audio CD)
American Princes - Other People, remind me of 80s pop with more of an edge. Their opening track "Auditorium" has a great Spy Hunter-eque riff that really gets its hooks into you. "Watch as the Go" reminds of me of A-Ha! Many of the other tracks are catchy and fun. What I don't like are the poor lyrics sung unclearly. The actual vocals lines are good but what he is saying is from forgettable to just bad. If the American Princes can sharpen their pencil a bit, this band would deserve some mainstream attention.

brilliant!!!, March 14, 2009
This review is from: Other People (Audio CD)
This is genius! American Princes have found the perfect compromise between their slightly brash but still excellent 2nd release "Little Spaces" & their 3rd release "Less and Less" (which though great too, may have suffered a bit from over-calibration). But now they've got it just right, and they are poised to take over the world. Slide this baby in, hit repeat, & let it play & play & play....

Perhaps the best album of the last few years...certainly this year, April 15, 2008
This review is from: Other People (Audio CD)
The American Princes may be the most underrated band out there right now. Their 3rd full-length album continues a streak of ingenuity rare in modern music.
