"After hearing "Going to Happen" on the vagrant comp another year on the streets, i was intrigued and sought out this album. Not a disappointment at all! Every track is great...personal favorites being the title track and move out, move on. Fans of more mainstream Vagrant bands may be disillusioned, but this is perfect for those who like the anniversary and reggie and the full effect. i hope to hear more from these guys."

Warning! aquired tastes only!

"ok, heres the deal with koufax. theyre a great band but you need a broad music appreciation to enjoy the record. they are like the 80's newwave, meets 70's billy joel, meets the new synth sound of the post punk world. if you can appreciate slow rockin songs then go for it. rocjk and roll is here to stay."

Cue Sesame Street and the A-Team theme...

"The cover says so much; the two guitars dwarved by the glut of synths and sound machines, the black outfits and turtlenecks. It's like this: Koufax, with their synth- and piano-pop, recreate an early 80's feel without harming terribly any memories. The songs are great ("Move Out, Move On" and "Going to Happen" stand out), kind of like a Billy Joel thing, but definitely without the guilt. There's a lot of fun multi-tracking and whirring and spinning going on in the background that only adds to the fun. It's like finding some time-trapped 1983 radio station while on a road trip. You're sure you should be embarrased, but you can't change the the tuner for smiling. Recommended."
