    Not big, not clever, not hip, not trendy. Just fantastic.

    The results are not bad -- nor are they dynamic. It's shiny and it shimmers, but there's no fizz, no explosion.

    Semisonic are the lambswool jumper pulled over the eyes of people who have an irresistible soft spot for 'classic' songwriting. Fail to give their songs full attention - and God knows, that's easy enough - you could almost believe this is literate radio-friendly pop; just the thing for those blustery rides through an imaginary Santa Monica freeway.

    I don't know how anybody can give bad critisism to this album, as there is certainly no room for it.
