"If you feel that pop music still has potential but you just haven't seen it in decades, you might do yourself a favor by checking out this album FATE by DR DOG. Dr Dog is a Philly based band that falls into the indie pop category but they add solid amounts of classic pop-rock mentality onto this disc, taking obvious ques from the beatles, the band, and in a few instances the flaming lips. Thankfully, they do it thoroughly well themselves on this disc and have themselves a classic of their own. Soulful, rockin and at times slightly surreal.



I discovered them on the local college station through a tune called "Worst Trip" from another album of theirs and decided to check them out. Luckilly I discovered this album first in my search. That tune is good but not on the level of any song on this disc. This was instantly a catchy and diverse listen for me, some of the best I've gotten into in a while. This is as solid a pop rock and roll album as any Beatles album... you may just get hooked on the amazon clips alone... I can't believe their name is such a secret! Go give it an ear!"

Oh my god

"My lord, this is good. Dr. Dog is the best band to come around in years. I've been listening to "We All Belong" and "Easy Beat" a lot, and absolutely love both records. "Fate" actually does those two recordings one better. It's pure greatness from beginning to end.

"Army of Ancients" is the best song they've ever written in my opinion. Christ, it could be the best song anyone's ever written. You know when you listen to a song half a dozen times a day for a week straight, something magical is going on.

Buy "Fate" if you haven't. It's worth its weight in gold. Also, buy all their other records. You'll be eternally rewarded.

"

One of the best CDs I have bought in a long time!

"If you like the Beatles you will love this album. And don't write it off as a Beatles copy cat. This is some really great songwriting and the music will knock your socks off."
