CD Reviews

One of their best.

Brit Bunkley | New Zealand | 12/23/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album, with a quite bizarre conceptual theme for a rock album (mostly sung descriptions internet dating), turns out to be one of their best. The songs are mostly quite catchy; the guitar playing is impeccable; and the singing as stronger than ever.

I have followed Mecca Normal since their inception. Although occasionally flawed with atonal rants, their folk-punk has always been inspirational. Most albums have been a single guitar (somewhat similar to early Billy Bragg, but with greater virtuosity, edge and attitude) and one set of female vocals - with an occasional fill of piano and additional guitars. Nevertheless, their presence is more stirring than many of the best full scale rock bands.
