Love Marsland Style?

"I love the Love American Style reference below and just had to somehow connect with it somehow here. Hence the above title.



That said, what you have to know about this album is that it's kind of like a greatest hits album from a parallel universe: It goes from one unbelievably good song to the next. You've probably never heard any of these, but once you do you will come back for more -- time and time again.



Am I to believe that these guys started out with punk aspirations? Maybe, but the styles here are melodic pop with a fairly good sized dollop of classic R&B sensibilities.



If you really want to spoil yourself, buy this one and Marsland's "You Don't Know Me." They seem like companion pieces, although I would be hard pressed to rate one higher than the other. Well, maybe Ludlow gets a couple of points docked for the two throw-away tracks at the end, but the unbroken string of keepers that preceeds those more than makes up for the dif'.
