The Second New Wave
R. Brady | New York, NY | 07/30/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"In a time where internet celebrities are perceived as more genuine than most of the artists on the radio, The Virgins are a welcome breath of old fashioned New Wave.



For fans of late 70s/early 80s New Wave fused power-pop bands such as The Cars, The Knack, Blondie, The Talking Heads, and Elvis Costello, this band (along with Vampire Weekend, MGMT and even Phantom Planet) continue in the tradition of creating wonderfully concise pop songs that are as deceptively simple as they are catchy.



Even the most jaded music listener won't be able to get "Rich Girl" or "Hey Hey Girl" out of their head after a single spin.



If you like melodies, hooks, slick (but not overdone) production, and genuine non-cerebral pop-rock, BUY THIS RECORD!"
Buy The EP!

"The major label debut of the Virgins features some songs that already appeared on their earlier EP, and you should put your money there. The songs here are over-produced and have lost the edge that made them so amazing."
Disappointed

"I first heard One Week of Danger on Gossip Girl, and loved it. I found it on You Tube and played it all the time, and couldn't wait for a full length album to be put out. When I picked up this album I was sorely disappointed to find out that the music I had loved so much for the past few months in no way resembled what I had just bought. The music was slick and stylized and over produced, not leaving any of the grit that I had loved. The lyrics to One Week Of Danger were not all the lyrics that I had been singing for the past six months. This album could have been put out by a completely different band for all I knew, it was that different. I won't say it is a bad album, there are some interesting tracks on it, but for those of you expecting the raw version you heard on You Tube and Gossip Girl, you won't find it on this album."
