A gem, with sunny three-part harmonies and songs that sound familiar in the best way.
-
91Sing-along melodies and breezy hooks are strewn throughout.
-
Its hard to think of too many contemporary bands that are making such unapologetically sunny, pop-tinged rock and roll.
-
73But the thing is, somewhere between all the vamping and forced attempts at being hip and irreverent, they found the time to write and record a fine record.
-
7012 tracks of fun, lighthearted rock tunes that are each instantly hummable.
-
60Their pure pop rock is both uncomplicated and uninhibited. [June 2002, p.120]
-
60The Guest, for all its flaws, is wise beyond the years of the musicians who made it.
-
Given a choice between listenable power-pop by nobodies and the same product by cult movie stars, who's going to say no to a little glitter?
-
The Guest is merely OK, a power-pop record whose songs seem catchy while they're playing but don't make a lasting impression.
