Grows on you like a Lovely Fungus
Rusty Shackleford | Las Vegas, NV | 04/08/2004

"Being a gigantic Moxy Fruvous fan myself, I was disappointingly suprised when I first heard Thornhill. I thought to myself "This isn't the Fruvous I grew to love from B and Bargainville!" Wha' Happen'?" But then, I lent this CD to my friend, about two years ago. And he has yet to return my copy. I began to miss this CD so much, that's how good it is. It simply grows on you. It shows how versatile a group Fruvous is; they don't simply tickle your funny bone, but they are poignant and harmonius. Earthquakes will be in your head all day, as will Sad Girl and Downsizing. Long story short, I had to buy a new one, and it was worth it. Better than pirating a copy. Fruvous needs money too. If you are a fan of Fruvous, of music, or of life in general, Thornhill is a must-have that will grow on you over time."
Worth taking the time to appreciate.

"I admit: the first time I listened to Thornhill, I was a bit dubious. It didn't have anything like the wacky wit or catchy melodies of previous Fruvous albums (except for "Splatter Splatter," which has both in abundance). To my surprise, the album grew on me over time. I found myself humming "Hate Letter" while driving to work. The more I listened to the album, the more I came to appreciate it. "Sad Girl"'s lyrics nicely walk the balance between serious and sarcastic, and "Earthquakes!" has an undeniable groove. The romantic side of me likes "I Will Hold On," and "If Only You Knew," and the Fruhead in me loves the inevitable puns that appear even in Fruvous' ballads ("I'll hold your breath if that won't make you blue"). I wouldn't recommend this album to someone new to Fruvous, but fans shouldn't overlook it; there's hidden gold in here."

"The title refers to a very old brand of high-end hi-fi equipment. It was known for its "smooth" sound.



That's this album, for sure, yeah. It is very, very smooth and lots of fun.



And a little retro, too. Some of it sounds a lot like late-60s rock and roll, especially the keyboards.



Very listenable - lots of fun, like all the Fruvous stuff..."
