"He's Gone Away" and "Their Hearts Were Full of Spring" are top-notch ballads. In short, there's something here for everyone. It's kind of Beach Boys harmony in blazers (without Mike's nasal tone) with a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor thrown in for good measure."
Love Campus!

I wish a CD of Campus were availabe alone, or perhaps combined with The Best of...."
