The lyrics are fairly innocent and simple, but very infectious. There is not a track not worth listening to in 'Crazy For You.'

   A simple but great album from start to finish. This doesn't push the envelope, break any new ground or bring anything new to the music worldA simple but great album from start to finish. This doesn't push the envelope, break any new ground or bring anything new to the music world but then that was never the point of this record. It's purpose is fun. Sunkissed indie pop at its best and guaranteed to bring about a smile. "Boyfriend" is a great song but this record is full of gems with "Bratty B" my other favourite. More than worth a listen.… Expand

   This is one of those albums that grows on you. At first listen, I thought this was another one of those albums jumping on the lo-fi bandwagonThis is one of those albums that grows on you. At first listen, I thought this was another one of those albums jumping on the lo-fi bandwagon (i.e Dum Dum Girls, Vivian Girls). But after listening a bit more, I found something that was really stood out, opposed to the debuts of other lo-fi albums this year. Best Coast uses the lo-fi sound, and combines it with the sound of California surf pop. But this is not what stood out, what grabbed my attention was its over simplicity. While this can be seen in a relatively negative connotation, I mean this in a positive way. The simple lyrics of an angsty girl trying to find love really connect with the simple guitar melodies. The result is a fun album, but the sound is much more complicated than its melodies and lyrics. The roughness and the simplicity contradict each other, which makes the album entertaining and interesting. With these elements combined, it really adds to a unique experience that can be listened to on the way to the beach or a sunny day in your room. Simple is good.… Expand

   I liked their song in this album, it's nothing amazing but I think it's solid and cool. Even the thematic super teen-ish is funny.

   A pale imitation of surf rock and girl group pop for people who've never listened to either genre in their lives. First off, I don't get whereA pale imitation of surf rock and girl group pop for people who've never listened to either genre in their lives. First off, I don't get where the surf rock comparisons are coming from, period. As for girl group pop, these kids' interpretation of it is honestly rather insulting, since their formula for it seems to be terrible lyrics, terrible musicianship, and all of it painfully hip. All the songs are really amateurish pseudo-girl group garbage about boyfriends and talking to your cat with not a single memorable hook to be found. The most notable difference is, this girl doesn't have a Phil Spector or a Brian Wilson backing her up in the studio. The recording sounds completely lifeless. The Ronettes and the Beach Boys were not great because of their songwriting. They were great because they had awesome producers behind them who were constantly pushing the boundaries of what you could do with a recording studio. To try and strip down that style of pop and then pair it with an ultra-clean recording is completely missing the point, especially if you're never going to even attempt to rise above it in terms of songwriting. Even her early singles managed to get by on at least the merits of the super lo-fi recording - and "The Sun Was High" still stands as pretty much the only good song this band has released. Unfortunately, the sound on the album has been noticeably cleaned up to the point of making it sound really sanitized. So what you're left with is a bland recording of lame pop songs, without a scrap of originality anywhere. The hype around this band should have died the second this album dropped. It's a failure on every level.… Expand
