Comments
This Album is layered with nostalgic feelings. It's only about 7 years old, but the feel that each song gives off is wicked. The power of the Synthesizer is not to be reckoned with, but these guys did it anyways, and they did it way too well.
However, each song's intro seemed to be lacking the 'Oomf', but that changed as each song progressed. "Kids" and "Time to Pretend" were the diamonds here, but the other songs were still awesome. Although these guys didn't necessarily pioneer that Electronic feel that you get in this album, they sure as hell laid out some ground rules for how to do it properly.
