"Reeve Oliver is not a band that is going to change music history. There isn't anything on this album that is groundbreaking. Reeve Oliver's first full length album is just good. The album is full of great songs that have catchy beats and good lyrics. Reeve Oliver is a three part band that has a lot of talent. Listen to the album to see for yourself.



1. I Want Burns - 10/10 A very catchy song and a perfect song to start out with. One of my favorite songs.

2. I Don't Want to Know - 8/10 A little slower than "I Want Burns" with good vocals.

3. Young and Dumb - 10/10 My favorite song on the album. Begins with heavy guitars then slows down until the chorus. Slowly rocks you and you can help but nod your head.

4. Your Own Private Ice Age - 10/10 Another great song that slows down and rocks out.

5. On the Floor - 10/10 Great intro to the song. The fastest song on the album and rocks the entire time.

6. Yer Motion - 10/10 Another fast song with catchy lyrics and good vocals.

7. Until Someone Loves You - 8/10 Starts slow and slowly builds up.

8. Inhale, Exhale - 9/10 Starts very slow with just a gentle guitar and lyrics. Then it picks up a little by adding drums until it rocks at the chorus.

9. Reevenge - 10/10 A catchy song that has good guitar and lyrics.

10. An Offer She Can't Refuse - 7/10 The slowest song on the album. An acoustic song that doesn't quite fit on the album. The song is a little too slow and in my opinion, would have fit best at the end of the album.

11. Sizzle Digitz - 9/10 A fun song to sing along to. A pretty good song to end the album with, even though I think "An Offer She Can't Refuse" would have been better.



I hope that you give this album a shot. If you visit the website, there is a video for "I Want Burns" that has Tony Hawk in it. Also, check them out in concert. I first saw Reeve Oliver at a show and they sound awesome live."

"Amazing. The production on this album is big time, and the songs are ahead of their market. After all these years (three of them), this reigns as one of the great pop albums.

"An Offer She Can't Refuse" contains a few obvious references to the Godfather, but plays out like an acoustic love song. "Inhale, Exhale" is a slow-building rocker that I could swear is a reworking of a Lemondhead's song. "Young and Dumb" and "I Want Burns" are off an earlier EP that they did and I still prefer the originals, but they are suitable on this album.

Like the Foo Fighters but not as huge sounding, like the Lemonheads but less alt-country and cocaine, and like Weezer but less marketing."

Totally sweet!

"Man, these guys are awesome. Such a great live show, and an amazing album. Almost all of the songs are astoundingly phenominal- these guys are gonna be HUGE."
