SpinGrandaddy's Moogy, moody music still sounds like ELO as HAL-9000. [Oct 2005, p.137]
-
Zilla delivers a cleverly orchestrated junket of joyful raucousness and synth whirls.
-
Under The RadarA rare EP that feels more like a full-length release with the filler trimmed. [#11, p.117]
-
MojoBoth spectacularly riotous and deliciously bittersweet. [Nov 2005, p.112]
-
A mixed bag of bouncy, speed-fueled pop songs and spacey neo-psychedelia flooded with waves of synthesizer.
-
UncutAn essential half-term report. [Nov 2005, p.94]
-

Whatever magic they once had appears to have deserted them.
-
Aside from those two songs ["Florida" and "Pull The Curtains"], however, there aren't many highpoints.

UrbA boring reminder of past work. [Dec 2005, p.104]
