"Spritely...what a approiate title. This album is truly "Spritely," in its amazingly spunk rock style. This is an album which provides much refreshing sensation in my ear, body and soul. It combines a delightful medley of old style country twang with a serious punch of ROCK! The 15 song instrumental record is one which has been always at the ready next to my compact disc player, and I imagine will stay there for quite some time. It is not so overwhelming that you will burn out on it, nope...it is a work of art with shall live dust free in your top favorite CD collection for many years to come. The Weisstronauts are masters of the space, twang, surf rock underground. A good friend of mine said "I bet Quentin Tarantino wishes he knew about the Weisstronauts." I am glad he doesn't. They are a valuable rockin' secreat!"

"One night I ran into an old acquaintance of mine at a Weisstronauts show-- it was her first time seeing them, and she was having a grand time. She was so excited to run into me, she bought me a Guinness-- I was so excited to see her, I bought her this record. Beer is transient, but the Weisstronauts are forever. If at all possible, though, have the two together."
Good stuff.

"Good stuff. Very tight and well played but without the studio musician lifelessness of old-school instrumental albums. If you like the Friends of Dean Martinez but wish they would cheer up once in a while, this is the band for you. Everything is upbeat in a slightly campy way but played full on as if they've assembled a lot of goofy musical cliches but are commited to takling them seriously."
