Mass Romantic album for sale Product Description

Mass Romantic album for sale by New Pornographers was released Oct 07, 2003 on the Matador (record label) label. It is easy to trace the influences of the New Pornographers. Ghosts of the Beatles, Big Star, T. Rex, David Bowie, and legions of underground power-pop bands all bubble up through the songs on MASS ROMANTIC, the Vancouver-based rock band's debut. Yet far from sounding derivative, or like a rehashed rock history lesson, MASS ROMANTIC is a minor pop masterpiece (in part due to how craftily these influences have been synthesized via the masterful songwriting on offer). ...See Full Description

Exemplary pop-rock debut
The New Pornographers is one of my favorite indie rock bands, so read this review with that in mind. This is the last album I have heard of their current four, so I am not quite as forwards-and-backwards familiar with it as, say, "The Electric Version." But at least half of the songs on it have quickly become my favorite indie rock songs.

Strong
I know there's bound to be always someone disliking some product but I think of this as a near classic. In Surfing the net for cd's it's easy to find excellent cd's but this to me is a little better.

Stunning debut from Canadian 'supergroup'
If you are a fan of both indie-pop and power-pop this is a must have. Solid, if somewhat inscrutable songs, launched into the stratosphere by whirring keyboard accents, great harmony arrangements, and sweet and sour vocal hooks from several members (including chanteuse Neko Case).
By a reviewer (Waldorf, MD, USA)
This review is for a different format.
