    It is rare to come across an album encapsulating various musical stylings and still boasts coherence and a pleasurable pop listening experience. The Portland-based quartet Hockey achieves that balance on its debut studio album, Mind Chaos.

    While they could use a second tune, this has bags of vitality and personality. [Sep 2009, p.84]

    The problem is not so much with the contents as with the packaging. ‘Mind Chaos’ is a pop record, and, as a pop record, it kind of works – it’s full of chart-friendly singles and sung by a bunch that are bound to find themselves doted on by 13-year-olds.

    They do little to advance on the template, but at their best they produce some thrilling pop music, and while failing to create a consistently brilliant album

    One of the greatest albums I've heard this year.There are three not so good songs on the album and they are numbers 2,4 and 6.The rest are some of the catchiest,most rythmic songs I've ever heard.Do yourself a favour and get this album or even just listen to it somewhere,I promise you it's worth it.… Expand
