Immediatly after hearing "Fireworks," I knew it was my new favorite song of theirs and the Studio version on "Strawberry Jam" is almost as good. This album is filled with such beautiful melodies, creative sounds and recording techniques and vocal delivery. "Reverend Green" is amazingly catchy and driving. "Winter WonderLand…

2 stars Suffering from Identity Problems
Upon first listen to this album in the record store, I thought it had some potential. I listen to a lot of experimental music, and it seemed to have a lot of background sounds and combinations that were very intriguing.

However, upon further listen, I have not been able to grasp the combination of experimental sounds with poppy vocals.

While I respect the fact that they are pursuing this combination, I don't think the two mesh very well together.

I think this one is more for the pop listeners…
