    What lends Proof of Youth a whiff of genius is its ability to evoke exuberant innocence without making your teeth ache.

    Just when you're ready to give up and apply to graduate school, along comes a simple band who get everything right.

    The tune count is down and it's sometimes a little too Mr. Motivator, but these sonic smiles can still be infectious. [Oct 2007, p.106]

    This album is simply immense. It starts where "Thunder, Lightning, Strike" left off - and in no way is that a bad thing. 'Keys To The City' is one of the most danceable songs I've heard in yonks and to all the people who say they haven't progressed, what do you want them to do? Throw in the kitchen sink? To be honest, they probably could and this would still be pretty unbelivable.… Expand
