"There are no need for comparisons here. The Shazam is simply 'The Shazam' - They Am What They Am. I couldn't believe what I was hearing on this album. "Tomorrow The World" is a rock 'n roll album - a real one. A great one. An amazing rock 'n' roll album by a genuine, 100% authentic rock 'n' roll band. This is one of those rare albums that will remain in your CD collection until the day you die. If the catchy, soaring melodies in "Gettin' Higher" don't grab you - then the rockin' guitar riffs of "Rockin' And Rollin' (with my) Rock 'n' Roll Rock 'n' Roller will. This album is pure rock 'n' roll spirit. Its clever enough to make a strong statement without being too serious. Its powerful enough to make you feel like the songs sound. Its inspiring enough to reignite your rock 'n' roll dreams and keep them alive. This album is a 'hit' - not because its on top of the charts - but because it has everything that all great rock 'n' roll albums have that make you want to know everything there is to know about the band, buy their t-shirts and posters, read all the linear notes and every lyric...this is the kind of music that makes people care about music. This is the music that means something to people. Buy this album. Don't wait around for J-Lo or Justin Timberlake to endorse it. These days you have to seek out great music. If you are lucky enough to discover "Tomorrow The World" then you'll find great music. This is one of the greatest, most underrated rock 'n' roll albums I've ever heard. Buy it, Listen, Love It, And "Squeeze The Day.""

"I concur with previous descriptions. An astounding record, filled with big hooks, big heart, and passion. Shazam take their cues from the Who and the Move as much from the Cars and the Plimsouls. "Squeeze The Day" stands out even among this collection--one of those rare, elegiac rockers that remind us of the fleetingness of life. Reminded me of XTC. But enough comparisons. Get the record."
