"Wow. You folks weren't exagerating. This is one of the best CD finds I've had in the past year or so. The Drops are a super-tight band that have assimilated styles and riffs from their favorite bands of the 70s and 80s. The first track, "Sentimental Love" steals the disco beat from Blondie's "Heart of Glass." The second track, "Coke and Amphetemines" has about 10 different band influences: The English Beat, Bowie, and Devo to name a few. If you like music chock-full with hooks and suprises, this recording is highly, highly recommended."

"the Elevator Drops doesn't get enough credit.. period. these guys have melodies that would make those Wilson Philips girls jelous. If you want to be the coolest kid at school, get this album, if you want to pick up chicks, get this album, if all you do is sit at home, get this album."

"I bought People Mover on the recommendation of a friend and was a little put off by the cover. The book's cover only image was a symbol-type design of some sort of train. How could a book about a train be interesting? I asked myself, standing in front of a mirror (except of course "The Little Train That Could). Well, the answer came when I opened the first chapter titled "Sentimental Love", a beautifully written story which had me dancing. Pretty soon, I was flipping through the pages of "Coke and Amphetemines" and "$7 Single" and bopping my head as I read. My favourite chapter had to have been "Starlight", a wonderfully romantic chapter with a very sensitive mood to it. Alls I can say is please Elevator Drops KEEP WRITING!!! END"
