CD ReviewsGreat record! Lucky Katera | Chicago, IL | 09/10/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Some beautiful songs here. Great vocals, and lots of ear candy in the production. I particularly like "Car" and "Be My Echo". Basically heartfelt rock and roll that makes me want to dance!" The sweetness... G. Willson | Gainesville, FL | 12/08/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "A very enjoyable album, especially as a whole piece. It is an interesting mix of digital and analog...kind of taking the best that each has to offer and then making them work together. There has obviously been a lot of thought put into the layers of these songs that leads the long replayability (if that's a word...if not, it should be)" Thoughtful and Poppy Jameson | New York, New York | 12/08/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "The Illiterati, not to be confused with the punk band Illiterati, is an enjoyable album on many levels. First of all, the singer has a soft and delicate voice, spanning quite a bit of the scale. Secondly, there are many textures- from the beeps and electronic pops like in "The Lovliest Eyes" to the acoustic simplicity exibited in "Impala"- which combine to form an album that allows for many good listens without ever becoming kitch. Thirdly, the album is filled with catchy melodies and thus has that sing-song quality about it, making it fun to listen to often. I highly recommend its purchase."
