Team Boo is Mates of State's best album to date.
-
It could be the most innocent, charming and believable record of 2003.
-
It's often a bit silly, always fun, and surprisingly inspired.
-
MagnetThe previously skimpy instrumental backing has been beefed up at times with synthetic horn parts: a good idea. [#61, p.102]
-
Seeing as this is only their third album, they can still get away with redundancy as long as its head-bobbing, genial and oh-so-cute. And it is.
-
When they're on, Mates of State recall the better moments of fellow smilers Quasi or The Anniversary, and the rest of the time their friendly pop buzz is more harmless than irritating.
-
Hooks so catchy, voices so belty, organ so loud and . . . organy -- the whole experience overwhelmed my ears and hurt my brain. Listen at your own risk.
