Quotes
Making of
"We wrote for two years before we went into the studio, and we were really inspired by records that sounded big. We started out listening to a lot of danceable stuff, but we'd always go back to U2's Joshua Tree and Peter Gabriel's So -- two albums that are just rock solid from beginning to end and that just go for it. Because of that, we didn't shy away from big choruses or big production -- we wanted every song to be a journey." - Ryan Levine (The Official Homepage of RCA Records [1])
Album Review
CMJ (p. 43) - "Embracing the playful pity and sultry tenderness of iconic Cure, this SoCal combo produces consistently invigorating tracks..."[2]
