5.0 out of 5 stars Top-notch power pop w/bonus debut EP, May 24, 2000

After Peter Case left The Nerves (which included fellow power-popsters Paul Collins and Jack Lee) he went on to record several incredible power-pop records with The Plimsouls. This is perhaps the very best of the lot, and even more so for the CD's inclusion of the Plimsouls debut 12" EP as bonus tracks.

Case's singing has never been more emphatic than here, and the songs and guitar-based pop backings display the very best of the back-to-rock 'n' roll side of late-70s/early-80s 'new wave'.

Those who enjoy the music of Matthew Sweet, Big Star, and the like, should certainly have this disc in their collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Filler-Free Album!, December 30, 2005

While I was driving one day, I heard a song on Sirius Radio's Underground Garage station that just blew me away. It was just an amazing song, and I just had to have it. That song was "Everyday Things". As soon as I got home, I did some serious web searching trying to find a copy of the CD that had this song. Unfortunately, I found that it was on an out-of-print CD that many people wanted at least $60 for! It was crazy; I loved the song so much and I just had to get my hands on a copy. Finally, I was able to get a copy on Ebay for $25, and it's a purchase I will never regret.
Sure, not every track on the disc deserves a 5-star rating, but none of it is filler. It's packed with great songs like "Everyday Things", "Now", "Zero Hour", "Great Big World", and "How Long Will It Take", just to name a few. If you've never heard this album, you don't know what you're missing. It's like hearing Paul Westerberg and Marshall Crenshaw combined. It's just a wonderful album of great music that should have been huge hits.
If you want it, you'll have to pay a bit more that you usually would, but it's worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars An underproduced classic, March 15, 2000

By

This review is from: The Plimsouls...Plus (Audio CD)

If you like Cheap Trick and Tom Petty I think you'll find thisalbum is to your liking, falling somewhere in between. "Now"is a classic single. The only problem I have is that, having seen them live in their heydey, some of production seems tame and the energy they conveyed didn't quite come through on this album as it did on the single "A million miles away". Peter Case is somewhat like Paul Westerberg-an artist who only received short term commercial success but every so often is capable of writing songs that can only be called "excellent" END
