rock god!
tad hutchinson is a rock god! precision drumming! a very fun disc to listen to, as often as you can.


Classic Indie Classic
Melding bar band punch with eclectic pop/rock influences, "The Men Who Loved Music" gives just enough smooth with the ragged. Fun, fun, fun. Here The Fellows have yet to leave the goofiness for grandeur. Note that the punk elements here never eclipse the pop elements. It's just another flavor in the mix. It's not perfect since the pure sweet rush gets sort of unfocused but,the number of "hits" overall is hard to deny. Recommended for Sloan fans and those miss the true variety you could find in early indie. This is working class intellgencia rock before irony became a selling point. Just about ideal. .


Maybe the perfect American pop record
Successfully looting the last 50+ years of pop music, they managed to harness everything that was ever cool, exciting, and fun in a way few (if any) bands have. The Fellows aren't afraid of swiping inspiration from all over the musical landscape. It all gets unleashed on this disc: rock-a-billy, punk, pop, country all get the Fellows' special treatment. Listen to this album once; you'll be singing along and grinning as much as the band themselves by the end of your first listen.


Did I mention, nobody gets a 5 star ( Ooop's )
Ok Ok, It's all true. . .

The apex (if you will) the height of Pop music is reached right here. Simply slide your mouse over and select the "add to my cart" button.

Your musical road map will change forever, you will run to the store and buy a beat-up old guitar and sit for weeks playing this over and over, giddy with laughter as you lose your job but uncover the secrets of E A and C, oh yeah and G too (for the bridge)

In other words it's simple, it's beautiful, it's funny it's timeless. No tricks no fancy production. A++ material

To my entire generation these guys should have been the "Beatles" to my circle of 20 or so friends the "Young Fresh Fellows" were our Beatles. . . it's that important (In "86" I was 21).


Clever, catchy, and funny...why aren't they more popular?
Ed in the "Happy Death Theme," or the hidden track) and other essential aspects of American culture, all explored with an obvious sense of humor. Continuing in the same vein as the Young Fresh Fellows' first two albums, this record shows a band obsessed not only with music, but with television (check out "TV Dream," the mention of Mr. The biggest hit here is a song making fun of Amy Grant, but there are also lyrics about Hank Wiliams, Karen Carpenter, Elvis, Ringo Starr, and others, not to mention plenty of songs that do not really fit the concept, including the hilarious "When The Girls Get Here" and the noisy and amusing "I Don't Let The Little Things Get Me Down. " This is one of the best albums by a great but little-known band. If you can find a copy. . . , be sure to check it out.
