"This is pretty much just pure fun. The songs evoke colorful pictures in your head, of flowers, butterflies and sunny days. It's not all that deep, so if you're looking for some introspection or commentary on modern society this isn't it. But if you want, light, fun, colorful music, or music you can dance to, this is it! Even a song called "Miss Meloncholy" isn't really sad. Songs such as "Counting the Rosaries" and " Butterfly" might even pass for children's songs. "Alice Everyday," with a little bit harder guitars sound might be a fun party song, and "Wall Song," which is mostly instrumental, has a gentle, waltzy beat.This might not be their very best, but it contains many enjoyable tracks and I'd recommend it if you're a fan of Book of Love, or of happy, colorful songs."

Don't worry about what others will think about you!

"Okay, so maybe this album is so sugary that it is the number one cause of diabetic iPods. But if you can swallow your pride, you will find that some of these songs are just downright GREAT! And if you are just too cool, then the loss is yours. So buy it and go for a drive. I won't tell anyone. But then again, when your iPod starts needing daily insulin injections, people just might figure out what's up."

One of the best albums of all time.

"Book of Love was always, and will always be, one of my all-time favorite bands. Beautiful melodies, heavenly harmonies, heart-wrenching instrumental passages. 'Turn the World', has got to be one of the most incredible songs ever composed on this planet, in any time of history. I could list each of the tracks and the reason(s) I love them all, but I think I'll just suffice to say that Candy Carol is one of the best albums ever made, hands down."
