The Old 97's put out another good pop-fest of an album
This is another good pop album from the Old 97's with a lot of toe tapping melodies and some great jangly guitar work. It's not as alt-country sounding as their earlier masterpieces like "Too far to Care" or "Wreck Your Life", but there's still a lot of good material on this new album. Overall, not a bad song on the whole thing, and that's saying something. For the ultimate Old 97's experience, they need to be seen live. But in the meantime as we wait for them to come back to town, this disc in the CD player will do just fine. Oh yeah, and also a thumbs up to their previous live album, "Alive & Wired".

fast and fun
The boys are in fine form on this one. More solid front to back than "Drag it Up". I've always been partial to the uptempo thrashy songs from the 97's, but I have to say that I really love "Color of a Lonely Heart". This one's gonna stay in heavy rotation for a long time in my music world.

Their best since Too Far to Care
This CD is a return to the Old 97's that I fell in love with.Drag it Up left me kind of cold. BIOG has the hooks, fantastic songwriting (from both Rhett Miller and Murry Hammond), and the solid drumming of Phil Peeples. The difference, it seems to me, is the return of guitarist Ken Bethea as a focal point on many of the songs. Songs like The Fool, Dance with Me, and particularly Ride have quitar hooks that enhance the songs tremendously. Color of a Lonely Heart is Blue is one of the most beautiful songs written in the last few years, regardless of genre. All in all, a superb CD.

Blame it on Gravity
What a great CD. The songs just grow on you. They're better the 20th time through, than the 1st playing.

WOW
Great album I just bought it and it reminded me of my favorite new album coming out which is Quicksilver with their album Live "07". So I would recommed it for sure for you guys
