SLGTM's songs bring to mind the lo-fi yet jam-packed production styles of Phil Spector, Joe Meek, & Motown's Berry Gordy. Led by singer-songwriter, producer & multi-instrumentalist Fred Thomas (once a member of His Name Is Alive). Polyvinyl Record Co. 2003.
"In direct response to the review posted by "Scott Heisel," the songs on this album are most certainly NOT straightforward pop songs that sound like they're actually from the sixties - on the contrary, they're a brilliant blend of motown and good old indie rock, sweet lullabies and love songs and tracks that make you want to jump up and down and eat popsicles. And the huge assortment of musicians and instruments on the album is not a problem, but rather a tribute to Fred's style and ethic - this is truly a collaborative project, drawing on sources from all over. This is an amazing album."

"This is a solid album that just keeps getting better with every listen. It's got more hooks than a tacklebox. The production style is a throwback to the early 60's, and it works beautifully. Try and track down the LP - clear vinyl and two extra tracks."
Awesome record

"This is a really, really great album. For genuine music lovers, this is a must-have. The songs have an awesome catchy hook to it, the voices are amazing, and the lo-fi places you in a different world apart from all the generic music that's out there."
Something for every mood!

"I love this album!! That said, it isn't an album you can listen to only once and feel like you know it. Others have said they keep hearing more as they listen, and so do I. The lyrics have some notes of Dylan and Neil Young, and the vocals bring up memories ranging from Mick Jagger to Brian Wilson. Even the sad songs put me in a good mood, for their honesty and intensity. But what I love most about Saturday Looks Good to Me is their energy. If you get to see them live, or even just read the group's homepage, you know that Fred and friends love what they're doing-- making music for us!"
