Where has this band been all my life? What a great sound! To misquote my favorite film, Christmas Vacation, "If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I couldn't be more excited than I am right now." These guys have a modern, kind of Beatles sound, and the lead singer Del Currie sounds a lot like Sting. This album starts off with a bang. The first song, "Collide," is very cool. The lyrics are simple and brief: "It's you . . . you make my worlds collide. You make my life complete. You let them see me, see me." The album continues in coolness throughout the next three or four songs like "Under My Skin," "Something Must Be Happening" and "Pretty You." Just before song six, you hear a man named Leon Whitey Thompson talk about going to Alcatraz. The song that follows is called . . . that's right "Alcatraz." Fono mellows up a bit with "Now She's 24" and finishes with "All Falls Down." "All Falls..." has a lovely string accompaniment. The beginning of the song sounds like the music they play on T.V. when someone's trapped in the house of mirrors at the carnival and they're about to get eaten by aliens, the blob, etc . . . a lot of different sounds going on at once. "All Falls Down" really starts to build, though, and crescendos into a really intense finish. I think I'll listen to it again.
