JeremyFOct 27, 2008"Tell The World" is the only amazing track. It really is incredible. But as for the album as a whole, it's rather boring. These girls are not untalented, they just made a boring album. I mean, play the first like 1 or 2 seconds of each song in succession, in they all start with the same sounding, same-tone guitar. It gets too samey.

The sound of three people ripping through hooky tunes without regard for pleasantries and taste is one of the joys of rock & roll, and Vivian Girls do satisfy on that account.
-
Though far from perfect, they flit by in an instant, all washes of trebly guitars and nervous vocals that leave enough heartwarming traces to warrant subsequent returns.
-
Without risking pastiche, the band gets plenty of mileage from its sonic references.
