Title: Thrilled
Product review: It's a shame I had to go all the way to London to hear The Thrills for the first time. The sound is pure Southern California. "So Much For the City" is the perfect music for kicking back with your friends with a few cold ones in the summer sun. If you're looking to escape all the punk/metal/pop one-hit-wonders that dominate the radio airwaves, this CD is for you.You can hear The Thrills' influences, but their music is still original...especially compared to today's MTV-manufactured [stuff]. Standouts include "One Horse Town" (should be a U.S. single), "Big Sur" (reminds me of early R.E.M.) "Don't Steal Our Sun" (Beatles-esque), "Armchairs and Cigarettes" and "Say It Ain't So" (great steel guitar).Bands like The Thrills (and especially Gomez) could be big over here if their record companies pushed for them like Radiohead's and Coldplay's do. Here's hoping a few big U.S. radio stations give them the chance they deserve.
