TCV reviewed on Melodic.net

TCV, The Click Five's third album was reviewed on Melodic.net by Kaj Roth!! Will post up even more reviews of TCV(to help convince fans AND non-fans to buy it!)


Powerpop heroes The Click Five made a sensational debut with Greetings from Imrie house in 2005 but failed to deliver an equal strong follow up with the 2007 album Modern minds and pastimes. Former frontman Eric Dill was replaced by Kyle Patrick on the 2nd album and he did a fine job but the songs didn´t match the extremely well done first album. When my friends in the music business told me their 3rd album TCV was a disappointment, I didn´t expect anything at all to be honest but I must say this album is filled with plenty of ear candy that I want to return to over and over again. The opener "I quit I quit I quit" is perfect to start the album, what a catchy powerpop tune that gets better and better every time I hear it. After 2 million albums sold worldwide, we are still waiting for their breakthrough in Europe and perhaps this album is the one that should make it.

TCV has signed to British label Lojinx Records that has an impressive artist roster of Bleu, Farrah, Josh Fix and Tracey Bonham. While the 2nd track "Fever for shakin´" doesn´t make my legs shake, the 3rd track "Dancing after midnight" truly does it. This song sounds like a future hit to me, but wait there´s more to come.....the 4th track "The world comes crawling back" should make Tom Petty proud, what a lovely song. One of their best songs so far. Another great song is the new single "Don´t let me go" that is available as free download at their labels website. "Way back to you" will please fans of The Cars for sure while the 80´s pop of "The way it goes" sounds like something that The Romantic´s could´ve written. I love this album!
