5.0 out of 5 stars Goofy, Fun, Whimsical, February 18, 2003

By	KC (Louisville) - See all my reviews

I love this album. I've literally worn out two copies of it, its so much fun!! 'Montebello' being the crowning glory to an all-around great album, this band has definetly tweeked their style to sound new, fresh, and original. This album is what pop should have been.

4.0 out of 5 stars And "the few" have good taste., July 10, 2003

By	Roy Pearl (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews

When the Sugarplastic released "Bang, The Earth Is Round" in 1996 they were already almost two decades out of time. Sounding like a less fidgety version of early XTC, singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer Ben Eshbach created a clever, melodic, and - above all - quirky pop gem. And although it shines with musical ingenuity, there may be too high a cute-factor in the album's obtuse lyrics and major hooks for it ever to rise above cult status. Highly recommended for the few, however.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, March 30, 1999

By A Customer

Found this CD in a used/under $3 bin at Venus Records...lucky me. It's silly. It's fun. You'll tap your feet, nod your head, and wake up feeling a bit younger than you did. Promise. (kind of reminds me of 'heavenly')
