    5 out of 5 stars hot, hot sweater rock.......2000-08-09

    How could you not love theMachine? New wave post pre-punk indie alt pop sweater rock that plinks away at your heart is what this world needs, and theMachine delivers. Of course, it helps that the kids can't resist the over the top good looks and hot bods these clunky glasses rockers sport. YOW! Dare I say it twice? YOW-WOW! Give me more theMachine!

    4 out of 5 stars Quirky Goodness.......2000-04-18

    The form is comfortably familiar-strong New Wave influences ranging from early Talking Heads and B-52's to They Might Be Giants. The lyrical content, and the song structures are more angular than one is accustomed to hearing these days-the day-in-the-life regularity of the song's themes are belied by a nagging sense of irony-one that creeps up on you instead of giving you a knowing wink.

    There are a couple of college radio gems here: Crime Scene, a party tune straight out of Athens, GA circa 1979; the riffy Chicken, Chicken, which is clean, hooky, art school fare, and the nu-wave sarcasm of Thank You, Arlys which packs a punchy chordal hook. But the real meat of the record lies in songs like A Return to Quality, which plays out a little like Eliot's "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."-It's easy to assume that the strident irony of the song is simple Gen-x angst, but there's also a sense of comfort in the modern condition. Sort of a latter-day acceptance of what used to be called "existential nausea."
