Vivian Girls Oct 12, 2009 I bought this as a gift and have not heard how it was received. I was pleased with the shipping & delivery.
Superior music. The Vivian Girls are what you need! Aug 31, 2009 The Vivian Girls take the girl group sound of the 60s, surf, punk, noise and their own original sound to create music that is exciting, fun, intelligent and, most of all, profoundly beautiful. If you do not like The Vivian Girls, there is no hope for you

Vivian Girls May 09, 2009 I liked the second half of this album much better than the first. I have a weakness for "girl groups", and the Vivian Girls have a quirky quality that I can't quite define.

Can't believe the low ratings here Apr 25, 2009 I lived through the K records heyday and the paisley underground and nothing from those scenes rocked my world like this. This is an excellent little album far more deserving than the lack of love shown here. Thankfully Pitchfork showed it the love it deserved, placing it in the top 10 albums of 2008.
Mixing elements of punk, surf, shoegaze these girls are at the head of the pack in the new noise pop movement. Along with Wavves they are one of the few bands giving indie rock the kick in the arse it needs. This album blasts away the staleness of all those synth pop bands going at the moment and rocks it oldskool. You cannot love indie rock or punk and not love this album, it is a near perfect debut proving that often times the best music comes in the most unassuming packages.
Can't wait for album number two.

Why bother? Jan 06, 2009 Why would you bother listening to this band? They sound like a homework assignment: "Please record an album in the style of C86 and early 1990s alternative pop."
There is nothing of interest in this recording, except as a demonstration that is is possible for music to share a style and sound with good music without being good itself.
