"i've reviewed this before but i don't care. this is the best guitar pop record of the decade, these songs are all amazing (even the one the drummer wrote). if guitar pop ala byrds or anybody else thrills you, this disc you must have. there's one song each by the bassist and drummer (jeff kearns and steve ittner) that are stunning by themselves and each of the remaining ten songs by brian tighe are unbelievably great. this isn't exaggeration, the hang ups nail it, absolutlely nail it on this record."

Pop doesn't get much better than this.

"It's a tragedy that this album is so overlooked. Perfect, pristine sad pop songs that aren't disgustingly sugary twee (read: Sarah (Lee) Records) nor transparent. Beautifully crafted, occasionally redolent of the Lemonheads' (circa It's A Shame About Ray) softer, mellower moments. But with better vocals (dig the harmonies - gorgeous). Songs like Sign The Letter, Greyhound Bus and So We Go are some of the prettiest heartbreak songs you've heard. A classic. Recommended for anyone into the new Gigolo Aunts, Belle & Sebastian or Colorfactory. Hell. Make that recommended for anyone, period."

Well crafted pop songs

"I owned Second Story by the Hang Ups, and thought it
was a very nice pop album. I finally came across So
We Go. This is even better. These guys play pop song
that are well written and include nice harmonies.
I highly recommend this CD if you are a fan of pop
music."
