I thought Apartment Life was a masterpiece and would be difficult to follow, but this one scores big. Fountain of Wayne's critical success scared me into believing that Ivy would not be the same. But you know what, they are and they're better. I am still trying to find something wrong with this CD and I can't. There is a bit more keyboards throughout the entire CD but it stays within Ivy's style. Great ear candy and some danceable tunes as well. What more do you want? Long Distance goes the distance with me!
