This was a pretty good Album.
Featuring the Theme song to "That 70's Show", I really dig the 60's feel, which they pretty much steamrolled over in this Album.
A cool blend of guitar mixed nicely with the bass, which really made the vocals pop out. Lyrics sounded nice and fluid, but my only problem was that it wasn't really all the way there in terms of sounding catchy and fun, as they intended.
It sounded like one of those underground 60's bands that tried to replicate The Beatles but just didn't make it. 
I also feel like they should have polished their songs as a whole a bit more.
Still, good Album to hang out to.
