Hey! Album is the second album by the Atlanta rock band Marvelous 3.[5][6] It was released by the band's Marvelous Records in 1998. Elektra Records picked it up for an early 1999 release, for which the band rerecorded about 40 percent of the album.[1][7]

Critical reception

[edit]

The Los Angeles Times wrote that the band "concocts an often fetching blend of glam-tinged power-pop and Elvis Costello-style gibes."[3]

AllMusic called Hey! Album "a likeable, melodic album, full of self-conscious and self-deprecating lyrics bordering on preciousness."[2]
