Anyone who enjoys pure power pop - ie US guitar bands who were inspired by the British Invasion and Badfinger - will love this album. Chiming (backwards) guitars, affecting harmonies and an appealing undertow of melancholy make this one to rank alongside The Raspberries or The Scruffs. The title track alone is a classic. You should be ashamed not to own this.

Pure pop perfection
6 July 2007
Format:Audio CD
I've always thought there are two kinds of songs that stick in your head: those that stick like chewing gum on the bottom of your shoe (Barry Manilow songs and the Leave it to Beaver theme song), and those that stick like the memory of your first kiss (early Beatles, Buddy Holly, Lovin' Spoonful). The ability to produce the second kind is one of the rarest and most valuable gifts in music, and one that has been in very short supply for the past 30 years. She's About to Cross My Mind Again is the happy exception. The whole CD is full of cheerful melodies and skipping beats of a kind not heard since Merseybeat was the big thing. But be warned: these songs are seriously addictive. If you listen to "Can't Stop Thinking About Her" just once, the song will take over your mind for the rest of the day. You will forget about your job and your children, and you won't know--or care--where you are. You'll find yourself walking to the rhythm, rocking back and forth and grinning like an idiot as the song runs on an endless loop through your head. You'll find it hard to have a conversation with anyone else because all you want to do is burst out singing the chorus. The one consolation is that you'll be as happy as a person can be. There's no way you listen to these songs and be anything but giddy.
The lyrics are as sunny and light as the melodies, exactly as they should be in this kind of music. It is blissfully free of attitude, too. No mid-tempo, monotone, mumbled slacker songs anywhere in sight, thank god. Just youthful joy and the miracle of a perfect three-minute single.

Red Button Rocks!
26 Feb 2007
Format:Audio CD
Truly great albums don't spring up overnight, so to say The Red Button's album is refreshing is an understatement. I find it usually takes about 4 tracks into a record to know if it just 'clicks,' and once you get to 'She's Going Down' you'll reach that conclusion.
The 60s niche is more than easily filled here with tracks like "Gonna Make You Mine" and "Free" sounding like something you'd find on The Beatles' classic records. Cozy and clever lyrics mixed with relatable and memory inducing themes, The Red Button reminds you what its like to throw in a CD that makes you forget about the worries of the world and enjoy it.
Each track strengthens one another to form a comfortable, crisp and endlessly satisfying album on the whole. Perhaps the greatest achievement made by the artists here is creating tracks that you can leave on repeat, hear over and over, and appreciate each and every time.

Original and familiar
29 May 2007
Format:Audio CD
This is a wonderful CD. The sound is familiar - it reminds me of many other groups that I have loved through the years, but at the same time, I feel it is entirely original. I look forward to more music from these wonderful musicians.
