    Fun LP. The Joke of Life and Crystal Ball are perfect pop songs with a great lyrical edge.

    While the second half of This Mess Is a Place is slightly less strong than the first (but only slightly), it still rings true with songs in which narrators repeatedly seem to be approaching friends and saying, "Hey, times are weird, but I'm OK, I think. How about you?"

    A thread of hope and resilience runs through, via bright, surfy punk and power pop.

    Your mileage with This Mess is a Place may indeed vary, but more than anything, if you’ve had a lousy, or dull, day, it’s sure to jump start your tired mind into grinning goofily with its sugary, determinedly peppy rush.
