CD Reviews

UFB@A&F
Tyler D. | Boston, MA | 10/06/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is an outstanding CD. I work at Abercrombie & Fitch and I first heard this band playing on our CD at work. The first song I heard was "Tell me what you want" which I instantly fell in love with. What a great track. Then I realized each month, Abercrombie would feature 2 new tracks from UFB each month. They're style is very recognizable. I could tell whenever UFB was playing on our disc even before I knew the band's name. It's catchy, it's pop, it's fun, and most surprisingly, it's musical. That's why I dig it. So I decided I'd go and buy their album. I was not disappointed. Virtually all the songs are good."
Intelligent Metal Rears its Three Heads

"If Blur humped Dokken, the result would be this electrifying 3-piece out of Manhattan, KS. Having debuted most of this album in front of audiences throughout the Midwest, "This Will Be Laughing Week" captures these guys at their finest, blending riff after riff of heavy metal crunch with frontman Bill McShane's crooning falsetto. But "This Will be Laughing Week" isn't an album for metal-heads only. McShane's intelligent lyrics explore young love and young relationships with a breathtaking honesty shocking to find coming over the top of the pop-iest metal around. Comparisons to Weezer abound, but Fakebook's blend of pop and metal poured over refreshingly intelligent lyrics will win favor with fans of Emo and Brit-pop as well. The album's opener, "She Don't Even Know My Name," along side "Little Apple Girl" and "Soaked in Cinnamon" are classic Fakebook. Drummer Eric Molin's fills are the biggest this side of Tommy Lee, and complement McShane's guitar and the driving bass that are the band's trademark. But there are also a few surprises. The title track sounds like a Leon Redbone cover, while other tracks evoke throwbacks to the Beatles, Beck and the Rolling Stones. All in all, this album is a must-have not just for metal heads (long live metal!), but fans of pop music looking for something original in this world full of Alanis Morisettes and Semisonics. AND PLEASE-- If they're ever in your area, go see them. You're likely to see one of the best live acts around, and you might just catch a cover version of "Xanadu" or "Purple Rain.""
The best band ever

"This cd is the best. There is so much negative music out there, "This Will Be Laughing Week" is a nice change. Their music puts me is such a good mood! They also have a variety of tunes so I never get burned out. This is my ultimate favorite!"
