74By-the-Numbers probably wouldn't have ever been played much on the radio in the past couple of decades, and its mood is more relaxing than fun, but it's a lovely set of covers that sound like they could've been originals
-
Many of the tracks are stamped with a heavy-eyed autumnal charm. [Year End 2008]
-
Apart from a couple fumbles, By-the-Numbers turns out to be a successfully executed concept and a very pleasant listen.
-
70Gimmicky yet compelling, the delicate second album by Miami's Postmarks presents 11 numerically titled covers in ascending order, plus Sesame Street's cute 'Pinball Number Count.'
-
70Not much of a surprise, the atmosphere is mostly the same on By-the-Numbers. Surprisingly, this leads to some revelation.
-
The group's devotion to the homemade-symphonic bears fruit a few times, most notably with the Bond theme 'You Only Live Twice' and a nicely kitschy instrumental version of The Ventures' 'Slaughter On Tenth Avenue.'
