    This album is full of sunny, catchy songs that'll be stuck in your head from time to time. It's easily perceivable that Phantom Planet will make it.

    Occasionally, it gets so sugary good that one gets a toothache. Phantom Planet lay that pop goodness on thick. But when it works, you'll want to be screaming every word along in pop ecstasy.

    Amazing. One of my favorite CDs by far. I love the catchy yet thoughtful songs. Much better than their 1st CD. These kids will go far.

    Great album which combines perfectly straight guitar pop or garage rock songs with more melodic and complex rock pieces. If you like the piano song "California" you will probably like this album.

  1. Sing-along melodies and breezy hooks are strewn throughout.
  2. It’s hard to think of too many contemporary bands that are making such unapologetically sunny, pop-tinged rock and roll.
  3. A gem, with sunny three-part harmonies and songs that sound familiar in the best way.
