SpinVaried and vulnerable. [Jun 2003, p.109]
-
This is the kind of album that grabs you on the first listen and doesn´t let go until you drive yourself crazy from playing it over and over again.
-
Even when their brazen demeanor shifts tempo for the stainless melodies of "That's What They Do" and "Wake Up," Sahara Hotnights offers a musically cultivated sophistication that's missing in bands like the Donnas and the Vines.
-
As good as C'mon Let's Pretend is as a debut album, (or follow up for that matter), Sahara Hotnights is not yet up to the lofty descriptors peppering their record company press release.
-
It's the sound of innocence, like night-long basement parties spent listening to cheesy 80s rock records: derivative in a naïve tributary fashion, while still glimmering with songwriting promise.
