    Even when their brazen demeanor shifts tempo for the stainless melodies of "That's What They Do" and "Wake Up," Sahara Hotnights offers a musically cultivated sophistication that's missing in bands like the Donnas and the Vines.

    C'Mon Let's Pretend overall is a passable album, but the riffs just aren't nearly as catchy, and the group doesn't quite seem to have a command on their sound yet.

    OK, considering they were all about 19 or so when they did this, it's pretty frickin' awesome. I've recently been re-addicted to this CD, especially "Impressed By Me." I can't help it!… Expand
