    The ways in which Overjoyed thrill are as endless as the band are absurd and implausible. Overjoyed is literally amazing.

    A surprisingly accessible island of misfit pop songs. [No. 113, p.55]

    The eccentricity of the group remains intact, with tightly structured songs. [Sep 2014, p.55]

    A little over-joyous for most, but a fair achievement regardless. [Oct 2014, p.73]

    In essence, Overjoyed is the sound of the Fairs playing along with themselves, or at least the sweet, weird boys they used to be--not always with as much spark or chaos, but mashing up the fruits just as gleefully.

    Despite its goofy grin, squeaky clean production, and cheesy lyrics, Overjoyed is a good thing.
