May 13, 201675/100. Starts off really strong, and kind of trails off at the end. However, a very enjoyable album from start to finish regardless. Best tracks are "People Say", "The Sun", and "Everyone is Golden".

Aug 27, 2013Don't let the name of this album scare you away. This album is pure gold. This album is the sun to your earth. This album is the air to your lungs. This album is the laughter to your child. Seriously. Every single track on this album is beautiful.

Alternative PressThe band are able to overcome the production errors through Gourley's elastic vocal counterpoint, bassist Zachary Scott Carothers' pocket-groping lines and licks so gooey they recall a time when Keith Richards could speak in complete sentences. [Aug 2009, p.110]

Rather than indulging the impulse to ride grooves this mellow off into the sunset, the band keeps one eye trained on the meter (most songs clock in under three minutes), while the other drifts off into the clouds, like on the ’60s-era antiwar singalong 'People Say.'

Combining Motown falsettos and the best of late-'60s groove rock with spacey loops and hipster-art-collective ?sing-alongs, they deliver a sound that's friendly and familiar without being derivative; it's a sort of retrofitted make-out van on a club crawl.
