5.0 out of 5 stars The Second New Wave, July 30, 2008

In a time where internet celebrities are perceived as more genuine than most of the artists on the radio, The Virgins are a welcome breath of old fashioned New Wave.

For fans of late 70s/early 80s New Wave fused power-pop bands such as The Cars, The Knack, Blondie, The Talking Heads, and Elvis Costello, this band (along with Vampire Weekend, MGMT and even Phantom Planet) continue in the tradition of creating wonderfully concise pop songs that are as deceptively simple as they are catchy.

Even the most jaded music listener won't be able to get "Rich Girl" or "Hey Hey Girl" out of their head after a single spin.

If you like melodies, hooks, slick (but not overdone) production, and genuine non-cerebral pop-rock, BUY THIS RECORD!

4.0 out of 5 stars demo-itis, October 16, 2008

I'll admit it. I've never listened to their EP. The first time I heard The Virgins was on my local college radio station. (Rich Girls)
Loved the song, bought the album. Loved the album.

Please, if you like upbeat, catchy NYC style rock n roll ala The Strokes, you'll dig this. Never mind the naysayer 1 star reviews by the typical "I heard this band like a whole year ago, they were great then but now they suck because other people found out about them" music snobs. Put it on already!

2.0 out of 5 stars Buy The EP!, August 13, 2008

The major label debut of the Virgins features some songs that already appeared on their earlier EP, and you should put your money there. The songs here are over-produced and have lost the edge that made them so amazing.
