专辑简介

This record came out soon after the death of grunge, and I couldn't have been happier. The songs found here are top-notch. The opening one-two punch of Slot Machine and Phaser set the tone for the whole album. Ringing lead guitars, propulsive drums and compelling vocals. The electric crunch of third track Carried and it's addictive melody hooked me from the first listen. Lead singer John Davis is one of the finest American songwriters still working today, on the level of a Brian Wilson or an Alex Chilton. Melodies, rhythms, lyrics all combine to create a rocking pop sound that will not leave any true music lover disappointed. Other stand-outs include minor-hit Sucked Out, Destination Ursa Major, the desperate Nothing Good is Real, and album closer Rocket.
