Album DescriptionTo call this power-pop would be too limiting, though on Ruth Ruth's latest they do play well with the turbo-charged, sing-along anthems and infectious hooks. However, it doesn't stop there. The band demonstrates as much pop passion as they do punk'tude, creating a lyrically-strong, melodically-rich record that hones in on the vitality of both worlds, delivering a record for music fans, the way Ruth Ruth's most notable influence, Elvis Costello, still does today. From the straight-ahead blasts of rock through the more contemplative feelers, this is real pop music, ripe with sweat and emotion. Now it is time, right about now, for you to check this gem out.
