I've only listened through to the snippets of each song on eMusic, but based
on that quick listen, this review seems to say it better than I will. I'll
definitely be downloading this one:

On first listen this album already sounds familiar, like a forgotten
favorite from the late 80's/early 90's. It falls somewhere between the
poppier fuzzed out guitar moments of Jesus and Mary Chain and the jangley
pop (and co-ed vocals) of bands like the Hummingbirds and the Primitives.
They excel at the shoegazer wall of guitar (ala Ride or even My Bloody
Valentine), but they're equally comfortable with bouncy pop numbers along
the lines of the Pastels and Close Lobsters.
