BrianMJun 12, 2003You gotta love it. Matt Sweet hits his stride... on an America/CSN CD? Three-part harmonies may not be in style, but good Baldur in Aasgard, they still sound good. If their songs find an edge, they'll move beyond America into CSN territory.

The butter-drenched vocal harmonies can be overwhelming in spots, but each of the principals involved brings enough of his songwriting savvy to the table to make The Thorns a guilty pleasure of pure California dreamin'.
-
If there's a follow-up (and there should be), perhaps Droge, Mullins, and Sweet will give more thought to what makes a Thorns song, besides the gleaming surfaces.

This is toothless, banal music that is so sweet it's like eating an extra helping of cotton candy.
