HobMar 3, 2005Too many people are taking the piss out of ROHS for sounding similar to Spoon...they do indeed have a similar sound, but I don't think ROHS are ripping Spoon off-- Tree City is a great rock record that deserves better reviews.

DavisWMay 4, 2005Robbers sound like Spoon? - yes. Spoon a good band? - yes. Therefore we should just be able to accept Robbers and their brilliant, catchy melodies.

CarlySMay 7, 2006Robbers on High Street have an old time sound making their way into modern times. I believe that there sound is original, and Ben Trokan's voice is amazingly melodic.

CharlesMJul 2, 2007I picked this up, and wow, was I sorry. Derivative, pretentious, and utterly boring. Go get a Spoon CD instead.

TaylorMar 25, 2005This whole "sounds like Spoon" thing is so tired - did everyone just steal Pitchfork's (lame) review idea? This record is awesome - "Price & Style" is my favorite, but I dig the dancier tracks, too. Anyone who doesn't check this record out because of stupid reviewers will regret it, seriously.

jacobwMar 7, 2006On the surface the album sounds good, but they need to develop their own sound a bit more. Litterally sounds like they held Britt Daniel of spoon hostage and forced him to make a record for them.

OmarHMar 18, 2005I think this is a great album because they have a Ben Folds Five sound, with a touch of Gomez and the Lyrical content of stephan jenkins from Third eye blind...thats it, they are just cool man!!!

BrucePMay 15, 2005I think this is a great album. Catchy and Fun. If it has a fault it is a bit short. That leads me to listen several times through. Apparently they sound like Spoon I will check them out next.

The curiously lifeless production means that several listens are necessary before the songs' charms are fully revealed.
-
The production seems a bit slick, as if the group was going for some Interpol-type success, while the songs would perhaps be better served at a studio like Easley in Memphis.

Most of Tree City sounds lifted from Britt Daniel's songbook. By that, I don't mean it sounds somewhat like it. I mean, it sounds like they stole the tapes from Britt's house and scribbled their name over his.
