Aug 25, 2014Certainly more mature and thoughtful, with no "Friends of P" in sight, but plenty of songs that sound like timeless hits, and plenty of powerfully felt and delivered songs that hit hard right in the nostalgia zone, drawing blood and tears with every blow.
-
Aug 28, 2014Brimming with melody and bustling with energy, The Rentals have made a statement album out of Lost In Alphaville.
