Title: It took a while but I'm sold
Review: I picked up this album due to Chewy Marble's connection to The Wondermints: one member is a 'Mint alumnus. On first blush, Chewy seemed a lot thinner than The Wondermints -- a bland watermelon that paled in comparison to the dark-cherry sweetnesss of The Wondermints. I put the album away thinking that it was a miss.Well, I started to hear the tracks one a time on power-pop stations as well as on the ol' iPod on shuffle, and suddenly the quality of each tune came across. There's a smash-hit quality to each of the songs that is very understated but identifiable.Pardon the cinematic analogy, but there is a sort of irresistible "B" movie charm to this stuff. I've put it on heavy rotation and am finding that it holds up just fine to repeated listening.
Is the review positive or negative?
