Free Music Review: A stunningly great power pop album
Hit: 5 Stars

I'd love to share my favorite cuts on the album, but I would simply end up reduplicating the contents. But the best of the best stand comparison with any of the great power pop singles of the entire decade, or indeed of any decade. While I have some personal favorites like "The Oldest Story in the World," I would like to see anyone who isn't moved by the power of a song like the title track or the amazing "A Million Miles Away," which just might be the Plimsouls single greatest song. But there aren't any weak cuts on this album. Every song is distinguished by good lyrics, taut playing, stellar guitar lines (though very little in the way of solos-the guitar work consisted primarily in countering the vocal melodies and in brilliant texturing), and superb melodies that will hook you and keep you hooked.

Over the course of time, I have encountered one amazing band after another-Big Star above all, but also bands like Thin White Rope, Eleventh Dream Day, the Rave Ups-that should have been huge, but weren't. I hate to turn this into a diatribe against the music industry, but with downloading and file sharing threatening the existence of the record companies, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be a good thing if they went by the board. Though not entirely, a great deal of the fault with the untimely demise of so many of these great bands has to be laid at the feet of the record companies who failed to properly support these great artists, their pushing instead a host of inferior and second rate performers who possessed little or no artistic merit, and the narrow refusal of horrid airwave monopolies like Clear Channel (a satanic organization if ever there was one, politically as well as aesthetically). If you got rid of the record companies, I suspect the cream would be allowed to rise on its own to the top. I truly do think that record companies have outgrown their usefulness.
