"There aren't many bands in the world like this. It figures one would have to go all the way to Australia because muscians with this kind of groove don't come around much and the Northern Hemisphere has gotten the last few. I can't believe no one has mentioned yet how much like Sublime these guys are. If you strip the punk rock and rap-rock influences out of Sublime and distill that band down to their essence (shown in Brad Nowell's Acoustic Stories; Second-Hand Smoke; and the Long Beach Dub All-Stars project) you get something very similar to this stellar groove that The Beautiful Girls has picked up on with this album. There aren't any deconstructionist-funk-rock outs on electric guitars, it's just ambrosia laced reggae drenched acoustic rock and roll with some steady drumbeats and the occasional sax. It's amazing. It's sublime. It's the soundtrack played in the smoking lounge in Valhalla. It's a sound that gets you up and goin with a smile."
Instant pick me up.... this CD is a must have

"i got this cd after i had "learn yourself" for about a year and i love it ten times more. this cd is not really that alike to their first album and i would reccomend buying this one first if you have never heard them because it kind of touches ground on their different talents within the group moreso than learn yourself which is mainly acoustic.
