Album Review
Chuan-Mei Lee
Reviewed 2004-10-28
Indie pop / power pop group from Chicago. Sounds as happy and ebullient as their Dr. Seuss-ian name implies. Inspired by Pavement, Belle and Sebastian, the Kinks. -- Chuan-Mei

1. fun guitar strumming, emotional/raspy vocals toward end, mid-fast tempo (3:27)
2. bouncy, bright, very fast tempo (2:33)
3. * happy sing-along/clap-along sound, peels of piano and guitar, fast tempo (2:38)
4. introspective ballad, slow beginning then tempo picks up (3:58)
5. fun piano chords, fast tempo (3:35)
6. interesting (but slightly annoying) harpsichord interludes, fast tempo (2:03)
7. acoustic guitar, whinny vocals, slow tempo (3:15)
8. bouncy piano, base rounds out a fuller sound, mid-fast tempo (2:12)
9. more rock than pop: harsher guitar and bigger drumming, fast tempo (3:13)
10. emotional ballad, slow tempo (2:15)
11. exuberant drumming, fast tempo with slow beginning and end (2:07)
12. upbeat, positive lyrics, mid-fast tempo (3:25)
13. * rousing electric guitar, driving baseline, mid-fast tempo (4:15) (after 7:23 there’s more recording: a scratchy half-song)
