Bruce Brodeen - Not Lame
"Take sparkly sonic textures sprinkled throughout the arrangements, add some shiny vocal harmonies all over the place(think Stealers Wheel meets Jellyfish) that shine and a bit of spice around sunny, upbeat melodies and, finally, spread them out like sweet marmalade on a piece of crunchy, pop toast and you have one classic gem of a power pop album.
Dave Dill is a pure pop songwriter in the vein of Michael Penn, Pete Ham, Jon Brion, Nick Heyward and the late 70s Queen stylings are hard to miss, as well. He uses richly acoustic fused melodies at every turn. There`s haunting, lingering melodies at every turn.
Really incredible, moving and quite a joy to enjoy. INSANELY WONDEROUS and Two Fat Thumbs Up!"
