    They mix wistful, hook-laden rock songs in the vein of Counting Crows, Five For Fighting, The Gin Blossoms, The Posies and Pete Yorn with the proto-emo sound of Sunny Day Real Estate. [Aug 2002, p.104]

    What the Kids lack in pep this time they make up for with honest, homey performances.

    Unfortunately, the visceral energy of their early days is lost in their newfound maturity. [Aug 2002, p.71]
