    In such cookie cutter times, it's refreshing to listen to a band that loves to have fun rocking out. Each track is it's own creation, and the album is short and sweet, not overdrawn. The critics just don't get it, this is what rock and roll is all about!

    Boy is this album being underrated by critics. Chantal Claret is delightfully sneering some times and playfully Go-Gos like other times. I had lots of fun.

    High energy, post alternative that wakes you up and pulls you into the music while it entertains all your senses.

    Maybe, for 40 minutes, we can all ignore what the scenesters and indier-than-thou reviewers are spouting at us and just LISTEN to the music. Congratulations to Morningwood- you've made a great first album.

    not bad at all. highly listenable, catchy, and something about the singer's voice is dead-on.

    This album is really great. From Jetsetter to Nth Degree. I would definitely reccommend this neo-classic album to anyone who's into the genre.

    Morningwood does a great job at imitating, and they have spirit. But their spirit does not translate well to good listening, nor does it provoke the underwear-dancing and air guitar it hopes to achieve.

    Morningwood still feels like calculated fluff, even if it's calculated fluff that's mildly fun.

    It's hard to take the band too seriously, but the songs are debaucherous fun. [14 Jan 2006]
