"As far as I'm concerned,pop music can't be better than this and a pop musician can't be more gifted than is this guy.No.Definitely.Like with every one of his previous CDs ( AUTHOR UNKNOWN and CAN YOU STILL FEEL ),you can hear it's top quality at the very first time you're listening to these songs but you'll have to wait ( at least,that's what happened with me )a little in order to be totally hooked but then,you're in Pop heaven ! Like me now ! Why only four stars then ? BECAUSE IT'S ONLY A EP ! I actually wanted more !"

Fans of intelligent, complex pop, ought to blah blah blah

"Oh, has it been three years already since "Can You Still Feel"? It must be time for Falkner to get around to releasing a few more tunes. Only six this time, hmm, not too many. Hope it's not another three years before the next proper album.



This is definatley worth the six bucks or so used copies seem to be going for. It was quite hard to find when it came out on Not Lame late last year. These songs are neither better nor worse than the stuff we've come to expect from Falkner's solo stuff, though after a few listenings there's no song which seems obviously a lot better than the others, which is not to say there's anything less than wonderful on it. At this point, he seems to be able to toss this kind of greatness off with no real effort. Even though I gave it five stars, I actually prefer the songs he did on Brenden Benson's last album Lapalco (also now a couple of years old), where things seemed a little rougher and less fussy."

Wets the appetite ...

"It's been awhile since we heard from Jason Falkner but I absolutely believe this is the best collection of songs to date. Every song is strong particularly standout tracks like "Feeling No Pain" and "They Put Her in the Movies". It's hard to make power pop this good ... when's the next release?"
