At Last

joseph_clarke@talk21.com | 08/27/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I saw the Yo-yos first about 18 months ago and have seen them once more since. I went on the basis of the Wildhearts link and was well impressed by what I saw. This album has been long awaited by many rock, punk and pop fans and doesn't disapoint. Simpler than the wildhearts but just as catchy the album has pop rock roots and is the most rock'N'roll album to come out of Britain for years. Classic Matches their brilliant live performence well with almost every song being a sing-a-long belter. The 2 singles aren't even the best songs. I now eagerly await the next album"

Ear candy with an attitude!

"Warning: This music will stick in your head! The Yo-Yo's combine great pop hooks and harmonies with driving guitars and drums. They have the pop sensibility of bands like 'The Smithereens' and 'Cheap Trick', plus they throw in some 'Ramones' influence to liven it up a bit.Several of the cuts are worthy of Top-40 status. "Time of your life" and "Head over heals" each have the requirements to be played by Casey Casum himself.Some have labeled them 'punk', but this disk has a lot to offer pop and rock fans as well. It may be a bit formulated, but it's a great formula!"

A sonic pleasure!

"i bought this album on a lark. i don't know this band from boo. i need more crunching rock 'n roll in my diet and this album hit the spot. i can see why others are referring to this as a punk album, but to me it just rocks. it won't leave my cd player for months. buy it now!"
