And as such I have more time for them than anything else released that would come under such a banner. They also sit in the power pop category nicely due to their sprightly rock 'n' roll with guitar solos and Moe Bergs energetic delivery. And there is more than just a touch of Cheap Trick with this mob - the whole comedy rock and amusing anecdotes bombarding the listener with good time vibes. This album starts off with Hard to Laugh, a fun rocker despite being about some guy complaining about his girlfriend. But the bands buoyant delivery and the tidy production job makes it possible for quirky, depressing or strangely touching topics to be fun to listen to. And that is a real accomplishment by the bands main man, Moe Berg, who is the sole songwriter on this release. Looking back on this album before putting my fingers to the keyboard it's interesting how well this album has weathered the passing years.
