4.0 out of 5 stars Starry-eyed, sexy power pop, Big Star-Elvis cross-breed, May 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: SINCERELY (Audio CD)

Cool stuff this, if you spent your late teenage years melting to Big Star's three albums. Great songwriting, effective harmonies, enough hooks to land Ahab's nemesis. Some highlights: the hip-grinding, killer-chorus 'I'm On Fire', apparently a hit at the time though you'll never hear it today (a shame); the hook-a-minute 'Just Like the Sun'; the title cut, a mildly psychedelic minor key lament with nice backwards guitar; 'I'm Losing You', a slow-dance torch song, with it's own built-in mirror ball. There are a few cheesy rockers like 'TV', but don't let that scare you away from America's second best-kept power pop secret from the '70's. And if you like this one, check out their second release 'Twilley Don't Mind'.

5.0 out of 5 stars An under appreciated gem, May 15, 2000

This review is from: SINCERELY (Audio CD)

For a young easterner living in Wichita, Kansas in the fall of 1976, this album was like a breath of fresh air. After several months of progressive (and not so progressive) country music I needed some rock 'n roll. Twilley's influences are very apparent on this disc, from rockabilly ("TV"), to The Beatles circa 1965 ("You Were So Warm") and 1966 ("Sincerely"). The "hit" single, "I'm On Fire" stills rings classic after 24 years. Twilley's talent was putting all of his influences into his music and blending them so well that they are not readily discernable. A great record and a solid artist who went away too quickly.

PS: I bought this record to get some new rock 'n roll music, ended up buying three albums, all new, had never heard a note, bought by cover only. They were: Sincerely, Cheap Trick (their first), and Tom Petty & Heartbreakers (their first). Best record buying spree I've ever had!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Sincerely" Is An Underrated Masterpiece!!, March 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: SINCERELY (Audio CD)

This is a perfect pop album with wonderful songs that, sadly, has remained underappreciated and underrated. One listen to it today, and it stills sounds fresh and undated. If this album were to be released today, critics everywhere would be falling off their arses, searching frantically through their thesaurus for words to describe the genius that was--and is--Dwight Twilley. Twilley mixes rock n roll classicism with pop smarts to create an ear pleasing concoction sure to please anyone. Also recommended: Twilley Don't Mind
