5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Infectious Music, October 14, 2002

Check out the new Arlo disc -- you will not be sorry that you did. It is a good time -- and their live show is to be seen and enjoyed.
I will also warn you NOT to buy into the PitchforkMedia.com review... How weak is that? Look, if we wanted to read the overthought dribble of some critic... we would go to self-inflated sites like [theirs] and do so.
As an Amazon reader I am looking to find out if the book/dvd/disc is fun, [garbage] or what....I do not want to read paragraphs from some loser who writes his "critical reviews" for free and posts them all over the net...Listen to the record...see the show...experience Arlo!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bill Murray of Rock Bands, December 31, 2003

Arlo is not a groundbreaking band the way you might consider Nirvana, The Cars, Weezer or the Beach Boys to be. Yet somehow, through amazing songwriting, tight musicianship and intricate harmonies Arlo summon the spirits of these bands and processes it into something they can call their own.
I usually like my punk a lot less poppy (Q & Not U, Unwound, Turbonegro, P.G.M.G. and Chavez...just to name a few) but Arlo really pulls it all off with no pretense and LOTS o' HEART!
Thats why I kinda consider Arlo to be like Bill Murray. Nobody would ever consider Bill to be the world's greatest thespian, but I have NEVER met anyone that doesn't just LOVE that guy. He's great! He's no Larry Olivier, but you can always count on Bill Murray to be GREAT! Same goes with Arlo.
I have had "Stab the Unstoppable Hero" & their first l.p., "Up High In the Night" in heavy rotation since i got them both almost two years ago now!

Nothing pumps my muffins like ARLO!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Addition to Power Pop Catalog, July 25, 2002

This band was the 2nd opener for my favorite Detroit band, the Waxwings. I was pleasantly surprised by these guys - very fun live, good sound, clever lyrics and hooks. Think what Weezer would sound like if Rivers weren't so full of himself.
