I picked up this album due to Chewy Marble's connection to The Wondermints: one member is a 'Mint alumnus. On first blush, Chewy seemed a lot thinner than The Wondermints -- a bland watermelon that paled in comparison to the dark-cherry sweetnesss of The Wondermints. I put the album away thinking that it was a miss.Well, I started to hear the tracks one a time on power-pop stations as well as on the ol' iPod on shuffle, and suddenly the quality of each tune came across. There's a smash-hit quality to each of the songs that is very understated but identifiable.Pardon the cinematic analogy, but there is a sort of irresistible "B" movie charm to this stuff. I've put it on heavy rotation and am finding that it holds up just fine to repeated listening.
