The production on this album is ridiculous, and it's wonderful. It may be the best cheezy album ever--the songwriting is great, and in a day before digital recording, it was made (or overmade) with an incredible amount of care. Stephen Chrumbacher's voice is unusual but fits his writing perfectly. The rest of the playing and singing is simply perfect--maybe too perfect? The first time I ever heard this on tape (a kid in my youth group had left it lying around), I knew I shouldn't like it but I just couldn't help myself. I was as happy to have this album make the jump to mp3 a few years ago as any other. Bottom line, you won't want your friends to know you listen to it, but you'll love it. And then you'll find yourself looking at World's Away--and you'll make sure nobody's looking when you buy it, too. Bubble gum rock n' roll at its absolute finest.
