These guys sound like they're straight from the early 80's, much in the style of Hall & Oates or Todd Rundgren. In fact, they kinda sound like what Ben Folds Five would have sounded like if they'd recorded in the early 80's. They've got the melody and humor of many Ben Folds songs, but their sound doesn't feel as modernized. However, with today's sudden popular comeback of the 80's sound, that's not such a bad thing any more. Sure, the first two tracks, "2040" (which talks about the singer naming his band, "Millenium"), and "It Gets me Going" (which has too-high high pitched vocals) are kind of laughable with their cheesy lyrics, but the album picks up after that and one can point out their older influences. "I Still Live at Home," sounds just like a classic ballad from Styx or Journey, and "Sitting Around Keeping Score," with its opening of "Da-da-das," sounded straight from Hall & Oates, not to mention the verses. "Walking Under Green Leaves," was another Hall & Oates sound-alike. "Stand Up and Win," is like a cheesy but groovy Billy Joel song from the 80's, and "On Pilot Mountain" sounded just like 70's-era Chicago with its awesome piano riff. With their more modern sounding tracks, "National Holidays," had a funky slide bass and killer chorus, and "Fly Fly Fishing Poles" had some funky guitar. The album loses some of it's zip toward the end, but the listen-worthy tracks were enough to make up for it all. Not a bad album, but not exactly a classic.
