    The now-three-piece group proves they haven't lost their ability to blend superb pop hooks with dance beats. [Sep 2007, p.131]

    Comets sounds best when Craig Pfunder trains his fake English accent on a chorus with a hot melody.

    It's quite a bit slicker and sonically feels as if it could fill an arena--but lacks personality. [Oct 2007, p.172]

    VHS's tardy follow-up, Bring On The Comets, might as well have stayed in bed.

    Can't believe people are ripping on this album, either. It's great stuff- the songs are smartly played and catchy as all hell! I�39;d been aware of the band before, but never really checked them out until this album. After being completely engrossed by it, I went back and listened to their early work, and BRING ON THE COMETS far surpasses anything they did before. This one is easily in my Top 10 for the year.… Expand

    Maybe I'm not trendy, but this album rocks. They set out what they wanted to do - make a pop record. Referencing the past makes this a tad recycled, but funner than a bunch of other stuff out there. This is why I'm not a critic, but I LOVE this album!… Expand

    Musically they seem focused enough. The problem with this album is that the production is lackluster and quite uninspiring.

    A sadly disappointing turn by a band who's trajectory (to this point) had been entirely upwards...
