"Words really can't do justice to the CD. It defied easy categories, as the songwriters and musicians have clearly heard and incorporated LOTs of sounds; I call it "pop" because it has amazing melodies, and beatuful vocals (a true chorus sometime, but never artificially constructed). songs like "Weather Song," "Backtracking," "Home again," and "Global Village Idiot" will, if not change your life, cause the hair on your neck to stand up and tingle."
Good, like jello on spam.

"If you like high quality song-writing like The Beatles or The Kinks, or newer guys like Cotton Mather or Ben Folds, you won't go wrong picking this up. I heard about Crowd Scene when I bought another CD on their label (Jonny Polonsky's latest - also really good) and I think this is my discovery of the year. I can't believe I'd never heard of them... this is a couple of years old, so hopefully they'll have a new CD soon, I can't wait."
