    You have to go back to Costello, The Beat or Smiths to find a catalogue simultaneously as hummable and as disturbing as McCabe's. [May 2006, p.102]
  2. The album is everything you might’ve hoped for--a bold rock sound, big hooks, clever horn parts, and McCabe’s usual daft humor. [#14]
  3. 80
    Positively electric. [Sep 2006, p.143]
  4. Experimental it ain't, but this summer in a shiny flat box it is.

    I love these guys' range. From pop to jazzy to dark ballads. Not real listener friendly but if you're patient, the songs will grow on you to a point you're singing them in the shower. Expand

    Upon hearing this album for the first time, I could not escape the feeling that I was listening to a very bad Hall & Oates tribute band. I know all the cool indie rock kids are pillaging every aspect of 80's new wave these days, but cheesy white boy R&B pop a la Huey Lewis and the News is just as lame today as it was then and should be left buried with the careers of those who originated it..
