This is a 4-star review of "3-speed"taken from Amazon.com: overlooked classic., January 28, 2004 Reviewer:   David Werking (San Gabriel, California United States) - For some of you, the 90's went by way too fast. All of a sudden you're stuck here mourning Carissa's Weird or Neutral Milk Hotel. But you never gave this album a chance, because you saw that they were on Tim Kerr and theres no big accolade for them so you figure just another pop-punk band. Of course you're so completely wrong, (something I delight more and more on each day) and this album proves it. These guys did shoegaze (ALOT) on this album. Dusky bus-riding cellos churn against school daze saxaphone and it's so positve, and so bright...ender "Wish I" is a perfect distillation of youth. Don't wait to grab it in a bargain bin, grab this album now and hide it under something--keep it safe. The true collector knows endless quality. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars are because someones going to punch me for putting it on the same level as Loveless. If you gave CW or NMH a 5 tho, this is a 5 for you. Come on. Your standards are all out of whack.
