"This is not like Weezer. Don't ever allow yourself to believe this. This is Rick Springfield. This is Billy Joel. This is the Beatles. This is American rock n' roll. I know that some indie kids might be confused by this. Rock n' roll is not street cred. Rock n' roll is not hip indie labels. Rock n' roll does not need "-core" at the end of it. Rock n' roll is you and me. The Stereo is rock n' roll."

Great Great Great

"This is one of the best cds I own. its amazing. Every single song on the cd is worth buying. Its one of those cd's that you can put on and leave on and you don't have to worry about skipping through bad songs. They're all great. They are also really really good live. If they come to your town Definitely go see them."

Best at loud volumes.

"You know what rock 'n roll is. You know it's somehow more than the sum of its thundering guitars, pounding drums, and soaring vocals. It's that pickslide that brings the song into a huge chorus. It's the wave of distortion that falls over you in the first five seconds of the White Stripes' "Fell in love with a girl."



Rory Allen Philips and Jamie Woolford have cornered it, and fed it through 13 tracks. Two of them are more ponderous (read: crappy) piano ballads, but those just make you appreciate the rock all the more. I can't recommend the other eleven tracks enough."
