Title: THE ROLLING STONE REVIEW
Product review: Kent, Ohio indie hepcats the Party of Helicopters mix up dream pop vocals cooing betwixt and between complex guitar patterns, and steady rock grooves that are perpetually subverted by timing pattern shifts. It's a lo-fi, technical treat -- more from-the-gut than poseur artsy. The bitingly satirical opening track "The Good Punk" is a standout, with Jamie Stillman's guitar work recalling Steve Howe of Yes (and in other places Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi). The rocky-riffy "Cover Me" raises the mania stakes, submerged vocals and all and "Science Reasons" is industrial-lite meets surf, meets punk. Highly inventive and literate.ADRIAN ZUPP(April 8, 2003)
