Product Description
From Amazon.com
The New Pornographers' debut album was the stuff of legend, a near-perfect collection of catchy songs filled with lush sonics, anthemic sing-alongs, and retro pop hooks. Seemingly out of nowhere, the band--featuring Zumpano's Carl Newman, Destroyer's Dan Bejar, and alt-country goddess Neko Case--forged a power pop masterpiece. Electric Version is, thankfully, not all that different. For its 45 minutes, the album never eases up on its great influences; you're treated to a baker's dozen of memorable tunes that harken to prog-rock, New Wave, and the British Invasion. The lyrics are goofy, the production fills your stereo (like the best, most upbeat tracks by Wilco or the Flaming Lips), and the alternating vocalists keep things fresh. The songs only get better as the album progresses; "Chump Change," "Ballad of a Comeback Kid,"and "July Jones" are three that standout. Somehow this indie supergroup is making classic rock ... today. --Jason Verlinde

5.0 out of 5 stars
Jammed in my stereo,
By Shane (York, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electric Version (Audio CD)
The anthems are why I like this album so much. In fact this album takes me to work and back. It might even be jammed in my stereo on purpose too. I cannot get enough of this band. Others may lure me a way from time to time such as Kevin, The Flaming Lips, Sloan, and Flannelmouth to name a few. I always come crawling back to the New Pornographers for their ability to rock my world especially this album. It expands with every rotation.
