Reviews
7 out of 10 - "...an opus of buzzing popcore, heartfelt vocals and confessions....Their hearts might be on their sleeves, but The Get Up Kids' tailoring is 'sumptuous'.", "...Quickly surpasses all expectation with a new-found sense of pace, cleaner pop accessibility and some unashamedly Noo Wave keyboards...", Ranked #10 in CMJ's "Top 30 Editorial Picks for 1999 - "...an album filled with strong songs built on infectious, driving melodies.", 4 stars out of 5 - "...Another thrashy-guitar/harmonised-vocals US punk-pop band, but since when was that a bad thing?....their songs take precedence over their sneers....gorgeous...", 6 out of 10 - "...peppy enough to make even a college sophomore feel old....buzzsaw guitars, plaintive vocals, and driving tempos - in fact they sound almost 'exactly like' Superchunk. Not a bad thing...", "...the perfect blend of punk, raw energy and homespun pop sensibilities....with enough gusto to make the tornadoes of their home state Kansas seem like soft breezes....It will seep into your brain and you'll find yourself singing along to lyrics you won't forget.", 4 Stars Out of 5 -- "It's Music As Catharsis -- Pure, Visceral and Honest, Just As Music Should Be."
