    Even amidst dissonant notes or loopy time signatures, a catchy hook or two usually surfaced.

    Social Climbers is a valuable document of its time, place, and a reminder of the greatness that might get away.

    Rather than the sound of people battering against existing structures, Social Climbers exude comfort. [Sep 2011, p.58]
