5.0 out of 5 stars Friday nights are good, Saturdays are even better... , November 1, 2007

By	B. Rosenthal "cowpunk1" (North Bergen, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Quintessential Indie-Pop at its finest. Thankfully, these wonderful musicians have returned to form, Imperial Teen are one of those bands whose releases you can buy without even listening to, others of this ilk would be Spoon, Sloan, New Porno's, you get the pix. Anyway, the release like their 3 previous, is littered with catchy as hell tuneful paeans, where brevity reigns supreme and the hooks are a plenty. The two gals in the band have much air time, which is a real good thing. I firmly beleive that the best Rock music is that moment when you are hear a song for the 1st time and instantly identifies itself as a classic as like you absolutley heard this one before (check the first song), derivative? Yes, monotonous, hell no!
All four releases - essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, October 13, 2007

By	Kari Gritzan (San Francisco) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is their best album since Seasick, in my opinion. Maybe this one's even better. A fabulous album, rocking sonic guitars, Teentastic lyrics. Don't miss this one!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A new album that doesn't suck!, November 4, 2007

By	Kirk N. Rahusen "Squidwalk" (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Everyone's familiar with loving a band and eventually hating their "new album." Imperial Teen is a band that just doesn't follow that rule.

Don't get me wrong, Seasick was their best album. But The Hair, the TV, the Baby, & the Band has everything you loved about the old albums, along with just enough musical progression to make this 4th LP more mature than the 3rd one.

The songs in The Hair feel a little more aged and subdued, but they retain that burnt-out vibe Imperial Teen has always offered. The band is getting on in their years, and the topics they sing about are along those lines. Please understand, when I say the album is a little subdued, I only mean a little. There's still plenty of fun and energetic songs that keep the old band spirit.
