5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome Back Smash Mouth! We've Missed You!, September 28, 2006

As a fan of Smash Mouth since their first release, I had all but given up on them. My interest began to wain with their 3rd self titled release where they had taken their surf rock sound and made a full album of it, as opposed to the great mix of rock on the previous 2 albums. Get The Picture, the bands 4th full length, passed me by after one listen as it was even more diluted than its predecessor. Upon hearing that they were releasing a christmas album I thought the band I had loved from the first 2 albums had gone forever.

HOW WRONG I WAS

On the off chance that I was wrong, I decide to give them one more chance after I heard they were trying to go back to their roots of an all out rock sound. While not as good as their debut, it is easily on par with Astro Lounge. Tracks like So Insane, Getaway Car and Hey LA are easily some of the best pop rock songs I've heard all year.

If you loved early Smash Mouth. I'd recommend checking this one out, you won't regret it!

alright.... throw out the music from Get the Picture, and lets time warp back to the 60's style surfer and beach music.

Now, although I was expecting another Fush Yu Mang, but Summer Girl is definatly one of the better Smash Mouth albums... far better than their previous effort. I had been waiting for this album for over two years, and it was worth the wait... as i call it "musical sex for the soul"..lol

my only beef with this album, is that 2 or 3 of songs don't sound like they belong on the album. Not because of lyrics, but sound. They stand out from the rest of the album. Those songs are Everyday Superhero, So Insane, and Story of my Life. Though these are good songs, they sound like they'd fit more their self titled album, or Get the Picture. The rest of the album flows really well. I found myself bobbing my head at the very first song :)

Any longtime Smash Mouth fans will definatly enjoy this album, i highly reccomend.

I think this is one of the better Smash Mouth CDs in a while. I love the 60s sound that inspires them and this release really shines and is fun. Music should be fun and Smash Mouth knows it and lives it.
