4.0 out of 5 stars Good Pop Album, October 15, 2001

By	thedevilscoachman (Vienna, Virginia) - See all my reviews

I was disappointed to find that no-one else reviewed this album here before me. Michael Shelley writes smart, mostly sunny, catchy pop songs and produces them brilliantly. Power-pop and great '60's bands like the Beach Boys and Beatlees are definately among his his inspirations, as are bands like employ off-beat observations like They Might Be Giants (in fact, one of the Johns from that band took the picture which appears on the cover). The best song here, in my opinion, is "Mix Tape," a superb pop song about the music-geek courtship ritual of making that perfect mix tape for the perfect girl. And its a great (if none-too-subtle) song to throw into such a tape, as well. Most of the other songs are also strong -like You're my Face, Stoop Sale, Let's Fall in Hate. Instrumentation is uniformly strong throughout. A recommended purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this Disc!, February 8, 2002

By A Customer

A wonderful mix of real american rock and roll here. Mr. Shelley's styles remind us of a more innocent time, while remaining fresh, funny and musically interesting. For all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mix Tape should be a huge hit, September 17, 2003

By	StacyK (USA) - See all my reviews

What a great album. I don't understand why Michael Shelley is not more famous. He writes great pop songs. Mix Tape should be a radio hit or the theme song for a movie.
