Title: The glory of California, from Ireland
Product review: I first saw the Thrills in March where I was blown away by their performance in support of this album. The music was catchy in that Brian Wilson-ish way without being too syrupy or sounding flat and lifeless. I bought the album at the show that night and played it on my way back home. It held up.This summer I drove from ohio to the west coast with 2 of my friends. For our trip down the coast on the 101 and the 1 this album was our soundtrack. The songs are perfect for a drive along the coast, in addition the titles and lyrics are custom made for it: "Big Sur" ""Hollywood Kids" "Santa Cruz" "Lets go to San Diego..." "Las Vegas I could only afford..."The brilliance of the album is in its managing to never sound forced or contrived. A bunch of Irish guys going to SoCal to get inspired left me skeptical but the album is really deserving of all 4 stars I gave it. It isnt breaking boundaries but its good at what it does.2000man
