This is indie pop at its most infectious and appealing level. I love this album from start to finish. This is music that will make you happy. "Music a Go-Go," "War on Sound," and "Don't Ya Know" are just a few of the highlights. And the album closes on a perfect note with "Dancing in the Sky"--a masterpiece of melancholy romanticism. Do yourself a favor and download the whole thing.
But I downloaded some of these songs, not all, I admit, because I am parsimonious with my downloads, Tracks 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, and everytime they come on the old iPod I start to sing along and bop my head. That's sort of dumb review but I guess the point is that the songs are pretty darn catchy, well put-together and intelligent. Enough so I decided to write my first emusic review. Reminds me a bit of The Winterpills, another great record I should write a review of.
...you'll like half this album. After track 6, the only song worth hearing is "Shout It Out." If you loved Stars' "Elevator Love Letter," then you'll adore tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8. The rest are filler at best.
c'man emusic. if you only like listening to Top 40 music but are too damn cool to admit it, then this is your band. To me, they're a one hit wonder. War on Sound is undeniably good due to absurd catchiness. But hypnotic pop? Sophisticated? Not so much. Again, if the pop of pop is your thing, then this is your thing. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
Love this stuff! Every album has had some great stuff on it; this one is no exception.
I'm not one for sappy songs, never have been. But this sh#ts the bomb-explosive. Also, no one gets 5 stars till they're dead, so.....4 stars for the moonbabies
Another great emusic discovery. These guys take the great things about the eighties and send them into the stratosphere. Think of the Human League on The Moon produced by Phil Spector's alien grandchild.
I've been searching for a new indie band and I found Moonbabies on Myspace.com. I listened to their music and immediately fell in love with everything. Their album in my opinion is great. Thumbs up...
This review is nearly impossible to write. I've listened to this album several times- all while doing other things on the computer. No single instance on the entire album has yet made me sit up and take notice to the fact I was listening to an album- and not bland radio pop- at all. Maybe something will strike a chord later, but I doubt it. Utterly forgettable.
I had one download left on my free trial subscription, but after listening to the samples on this album, I had to by the whole thing. Damn Emusic, you got me! Too much good new indie stuff, so I can't stop my subscription now.
