    It's classic pop music for people who have never bothered with classic pop, which is reason enough to check this out.

    And It Shook Me may not be a game-changer, but what it does show is a group attempting to shed the shackles of its influences and take one step closer to embracing its own identity. And that’s something that should be admired.

    The Postelles may not yet have reached the heights some predicted, but it doesn’t seem to have soured their outlook.

    The Postelles flash moments of this talent, but often come off as a pedestrian version of a banal sound.

    It’s an easy album to love, but hard to love it more than anything else.

    Shook Me offers little that doesn't sound like any one of those bands [Vampire Weekend, the Kooks, and fun.] sanded down to their blandest core. [No. 97, p.58]
