Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
The joie de vivre that oozes out of this stupidly contagious power pop record sounds as if a bunch of friends just went into the studio to make the sort of record they'd like to hear on a night out. And that's pretty much what Mass Romantic is. Members of various Canadian bands took time out to make new wave sound fun again, giving it garage rock grit and glam rock insanity. As the band say in the sleeve notes: "it's hard to remember who played what, it was all a blaze of pipe organ, Wurlitzer, mini koog, and what have you". It's this spirited approach that give us 40 minutes of energetic, upbeat Brill Building pop simplicity in a head-on collision with rugged alternative rock charm. It's music made for cruising in a car with your elbows in the breeze, all clattering drums, infectious harmonies and neat tunes that's just irresistible. --Ben Clancy

Swaggart's Army,
By "kdelrio6" (Spirit Lake, IA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mass Romantic (Audio CD)
Mmmmm..(...)hh....ohhh. C'est très belle... ce musique des Pornographers Noveaux... Perfect power pop, lush, electric Brian Wilson business here. Beyond that, out of the sandbox and onto the freeway. How many more 'windows-rolled-down-stereo-cranked-through-the-roof-as-you-and-your-special-lady-roll-westward-across-the-river-down-highway-20' images need I conjure? Beautfiul. This record makes you feel good AND it's witty and has roughly 8 hooks per song. Must be a law in British Columbia to have x hooks per track. Bless BC.

Great, unpretentious music.,
By Scott Fendley (Zionsville, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mass Romantic (Audio CD)
A great idea comes to fruition. This is a good first effort from this collective and having Neko Case as a secret weapon never hurts!

I'm still in awe...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mass Romantic (Audio CD)
This is the best CD I own, hands-down. Neko Case's incredible voice, the brilliant mixture of guitars and electric keyboards are just amazing. "Mass Romantic" and "Letter From An Occupant" are amazing power-pop songs that display the capabilities of the band."Jackie" is one of my favorite songs, it shows that band doesn't even need Neko Case to shine. If you don't own this CD,you really shoudl go buy it right now.
