Editorial Reviews

After spending a solid year out on the road in support of their EP GREETINGS FROM... A Rocket To The Moon are more than ready to release their long-awaited debut album ON YOUR SIDE. Produced by Matt Squire (3OH!3, All Time Low, The Used and Panic! At The Disco), ON YOUR SIDE shows the dynamics of the band with a sound that can be described as mature pop rock with big hooks and catchy melodies. The album features lead tracks 'Mr. Right' and 'Annabelle.' With over 26 million MySpace plays and 50,000 Twitter followers, A Rocket To The Moon are ready to launch in to the main stream.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh, Catchy Pop, August 4, 2010

Some other reviews hit this album as being over-produced/over-modulated and lyrically amateurish. I'm not sure exactly what they're referring to, but this album sounds fine to me as far as modulation and quality. Nor would I care too much if wasn't perfect, since I care more about the musicianship and music anyway (i.e., the style, melody, catchiness, lyrical meaning, etc...). As for "lyrically amateurish," that's a pretty vague allegation. The lyrics for this album, which anyone can look up (google) prior to buying the album, are fresh and meaningful while staying fun (avoiding melodrama). If that's "lyrically amateurish," then I guess I'm a fan of amateur lyrics (the horror!).

Regardless, every single song on this album is catchy, and each one is fresh. In other words, it seems to me that many pop albums come with 9-12 songs that by and large are very similar stylistically, with minor variations in melody, tempo, and lyrics. But as another reviewer noted, this album comes with songs stylistically similar to rock, country, and R&B, all while retaining it's pop catchiness. This is the best pop album I've heard, second only to John Hampson's "Shiny New Album." With the ability to look up lyrics and hear pretty much all these songs on youtube prior to buying, I can't see how anyone could be disappointed with it.

i just happened to stumble across this band and i am really glad i did. i am a big fan of calm music to listen to at night or when i am driving and this fits perfectly. When i preview the cd i usually buy it if i like a majority of the songs and that was the case here. Great music.
