CD ReviewsAn Excellent Pop Rock CD Todd Lucas | Southern Illinois, USA | 05/24/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "Despite what the person below said, this CD serves as my introduction to Jason Falkner and I absolutely love it! I spotted this at a local CD emporium and could tell just by looking at the cover that it might be good. Then, I saw the SpinArt imprint and knew that it was worth a chance. I'd heard of Falkner before but hadn't listened to any of his music. Anyway, he recorded most of what's here on a simple 4-track recorder. He plays all instruments and does all vocals and backing vocals himself, a la Emitt Rhodes. Everything comes together just beautifully. Every song has a memorable hook and Falkner can really rock out when he wants to. Yep, the songwriting skills of a great popster and the heart of a rocker. You can't beat that! Another great thing about the disc is that Falkner gives you a huge dose of treble and only a modicum of bass, just the way power pop should be! The high end sounds great and the bottom end doesn't get in your face, the way most records seem to today. Kudos all the way around for a fine effort!" Elvis Costello for a new generation... Joel B. Knauff | Baltimore, MD USA | 08/15/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "It really says something about Jason Falkner's talent when his demos and outtakes are better than most musicians' best stuff. He truly is the Elvis Costello of a new generation, combining catchy, intricately crafted melodies with smart lyrics." The real Falkner Joel B. Knauff | 05/01/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Jason's albums are some of the best, most polished albums I own. Hearing some of those songs stripped down, with warts and all, really puts him in a whole new light. The songs that you've heard before are still great, and the songs you've never heard before remind you why Jason is a genius. If you're a fan, buy it. You won't be disappointed. If you're not a fan, you should be, so buy it. It's a diamond in the rough that's definitely worth the price."
