(4 out of 5 stars)

"That's the best way to describe this glorious assault on the senses by one of the few new(er) bands doing it right and that is by having fun doing it. Based in one of the great music cities in the world Chicago and fresh off the Lollapalooza '06 this band is wasting no time going there. Vocalist Angela Mullenhour is a presence onstage engulfing the microphone as she destroys her guitar all the while smiling and even giggling like a little kid at their own b-day party. The rest of the band blast sensory melting passion from the stage in much the same way. Think Sonic Youth guitar walls, Bjorky vocals but much dreamier and soulful and drums that lift you up and down through the bipolarism of it all. Throw in a little 80'epic soundscapes and a little punk for fun and you have one of the best Psych Pop/Rock bands in the biz. See them live buy the album. Catch this train while the seats are cheap. I know this is a lot of hype for a band you probably just heard of for the first time and I know I only gave this album four stars but I know for a fact the next album will be five which in my opinion is a perfect rating."
