CD Reviews

The Singles Rock the HOUSE

bernz1010 | Ann Arbor, MI | 09/17/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Better Than Before is a brilliant album constructed with flowing harmonies and beats that force you to tap your feet. The retro sound is balanced perfectly by a creative new blast of power pop. The guitar play is especially strong and lends greatly to the overall success of the songs through a passionate and pure "let's rock" attitude. Think Weezer meets the Beatles meets Steve Miller Band. All around great album. I definitely reccomend it to anyone who needs a breath of fresh air in a suffocating music industry gasping for the next coming of Britney Mathers."

Two Great Songs

"I'm not as enthused as earlier reviewers..But "better than before" is very enjoyable power pop. I was driving home from work, listening, thinking, hmmm artfully done Beatles/Cheap-Trickish stuff. OK, hmm. Then Track 8, "Better than Before" came on and, gee, this IS a first rate Beatles rip..could've been on any of their first 3 lps. A couple of minutes later, Track 10, 1:37 of perfect, revved up Buddy Holly. Original? no; perfectly conceived and executed? yes. I listened to the remaining tracks and then put "See you again" on repeat for the rest of the drive home."

"More Detroit rockers with a certain Livepudlian fixation. Surely not even Jade Goody has failed to spot the ongoing rush of definite article bands and, yes, it is confusing. But don't mistake The Singles for The Forty-Fives or The Sights, even though they share a producer in Detroit scenester Jim Diamond.
This motor-city four-piece stand out by imagining garage rock as being solely inspired by the George songs on the early Beatles albums. It's hardly important music, but there's a real tangy, catchy pulse to "Come On" or "I'll Be Good To You" that makes most power pop sound insipid. Fab and, indeed, gear. Steve Lowe"
