"This full-length demo release from the SF Bay's 20 Minute Loop is just plain incredible. the production is nice and tight, no frills, just letting the band's energy hit you full force. The songs bring together simple pop structures, then subvert them and twist them into a million unexpected places, topped off with off-kilter boy/girl harmonies. The lyrics are dense, tongue-twisting pastiches of obscure metaphors and punchlines that sneak up on you before dive-bombing into hooky choruses. 20 Minute Loop has one of the tightest ryhthm sections around; the bass and drums are just locked in to each other's grooves, letting the other instruments cut loose on top. If you ever get a chance to see these guys live, don't pass it up."

Just buy it...

"I hate all those review that compare band to other bands and try to slot them into a pigeonhole. So.... just go and listen to a few of their MP3 either here or on mp3.com. If you like those the rest of the first album is just as good. AND they have a new album out soon which sounds even better. I love it!"
