Fun and jangly power pop, right here, right now. The Reaction want one, and they’ll get it with this release. From crunchy guitar to sensible and accurate bass, it has it all. I don’t understand how anyone could sit still and listen to this. You must get up and dance and do it now.
“It’s About Time” has it all. If it were a snack, it would be donuts. The title track is only 68 seconds long but a lot of fun. If you want simple stuff that rocks, this is where you go.
“Hello at Last” has the same bass intro as The Kirby Grips’ “At Last,” and that’s no coincidence. The bassist from that group is in The Reaction. It’s a good set of notes, though. A great idea. This bit is an instrumental, but maybe someday it will grow into a song.
Remember the guitar in “Fireman” by Jawbreaker? This band loves doing that stuff. “And Then There’s Mod” has more of a punk take. It’s great to hear them rock out. It reminds me of why I got into the local scene in the first place.
14 tracks. 30 minutes. Play it all in a row. Whew! That was a workout!
