"This is one of my favorite SF59 albums. Americana is probably my favorite, but this is a close second. SF59 fans all know exactly their favorite song frome each SF59 album and this gives fans some good ones to choose from. The best is probably Play the C Chord and No New Kind of Story. Those two songs alone make it worth it."

"I first saw Sf59 at a Church in O.C. CA back in 95, back when their feedback noise made you say " what? what? after the shows. I'm glad to see that this band matured from psychedelic disortion to a more clean sound. "Everybody Makes Mistakes" combines styles of surf rock, 80's new wave with a hint of punk/alternative roots. Martin's voice is calm, melodic and laid back. Highly recommeded for U2 and 80's new wave listeners who love that 80's "twangy" sound. This album was well recorded, their all time best. Songs like " play the C chord and "No new kinda story" are rock perfections. Get it!"

"This is a great album. It does have a kinship with "Fashion Focus," but it also has a definite sound of its own. These are not leftover songs by any means.
Note especially the influence from Gene Eugene which is heaviest during "My Name." Also note the song "Dethroned King," which at once hearkens back to the glory of "Gold," and looks forward to "Old." My goodness it's a good song.
My only complaint about this album is the hidden track at the end of "Party." Sounds like my favorite band is channeling Kenny G. Ah well. Five stars anyway."
