CD Reviews

Power-Pop....Pure and Perfect!

06/18/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The best 'cover' album ever made! The 'Mints preform simply stunning versions of some of the best, and for the most part obscure, pop songs ever made. Highlights are the obscure Turtles song "Love In The City" and the seldom-heard Stories song "Darling". Now available as a much less- UK import, there's no excuse for you to not add this to your collection NOW!"

Guess They're Not Dumb

Gardo | 11/06/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Wondermints manage to convey all the zaniness, energy, experimentation, and, yes, childlike wonder of the 1960s and 1970s without any of the lazy, druggy self-indulgence that occasionally marred the astral travels of those decades. This album, like Todd Rundgren's "Faithful," pays homage to beloved and influential music, though in this case the music draws heavily from cult favorites, overlooked jewels (like Brian Wilson's sublime "Guess I'm Dumb"), or completely left-field choices like "Barbarella." Prepare to be entertained--and maybe find some soulmates."
