UptonK.Apr 12, 2010Good garage band stuff. The songs are a little unformed and not catchy, but you have to admire their energy.

DavidM.Apr 8, 2010A bit of a grower, but probably their best album yet. Unbearable why, where'd all the time go... the title track, each and every song is a welcome addition to their repertoire.

AaronD.Apr 8, 2010I took be a couple listens but I think this album is very good. Jackie Wants a Black Eye is now one of my favorite Dr. Dog songs.

With co-producer Rob Schnapf at the helm, Dr. Dog don't sound like mere imitators--they sound like an unusually hook-savvy indie band whose taut, touching songs about friendship ("Jackie Wants a Black Eye") and life on the road ("Station") begin as straight pop rock and take thrilling turns into psychedelia.
-
Grooming their jam-band shagginess and spotlighting their songwriting chops, Philadelphia indie poppers Dr. Dog produce a clean, big-sounding album that uncannily evokes Summerteeth-era Wilco and Soft Bulletin–era Flaming Lips.

It's not very ambitious, it's not very original, and it's not very deep, but what it is is fun and what it does is give you a half hour to lose yourself in a little sun-dried nostalgia.
