QUALITY HYPERACTIVE POP

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Chris Knox, often accompanied only by his electric guitar, sings wound-up, hyper pop songs. He also uses the ol' pre-programmed Casio keyboard on a few songs, and it actually works. The sound quality isn't the greatest, but Knox's pop sense and energy more than make up for it. The best of the fast songs(such as "Half Man/Half Mole") are insanely catchy, but Knox is equally adept at brooding, slower songs like "Nothing Comes Clear" and the almost doo-wopish "One Fell Sweep". You probably won't have an easy time finding this one, but it's definitely worth buying if you happen to come across it. A rare instance where being a total spaz works in someone's favor. Four stars."
