There's nothing on this album to really get you going but the tracks are catchy. Worth buying if the soft acoustic clever lyrical genre is your taste.

You found it! It's a joy. It's a discovery. It's a gem. A consistent catchy collection of true Indie songs delivered with above average professionalism and musicianship. Withstands the listen-five-times test - I've heard this over 12 times and just want more. Controlled vocals and varied instrumentation and tempo. Some fine acoustic but the banjo leads the fast 'Asleep At the Wheel', a piano dominates on 'From California' which interludes with some interesting percussion. 'Handing on For Hope' blends in a subtle organ weave. The production quality is first rate but without the gimmicks of over crafting. There is not one song on this album that I'm inclined to skip. With whom might they be compared? Difficult! John Lennon? Most memorable tracks are 'All our Vice', 'Hover Near Fame', and 'Spoils of the Spoiled'. No, the artist did not pay me to write this review. Quality like this deserves comment.

Since the lead singer of the New Amsterdams is Matt Pryor formally of the band The Get Up Kids this album takes off from where the Kids third album, On the Wire, left off. Pryor is a brilliant song writer and while these songs don't have the emotions of any Get Up Kids album the songs are great. The highlights being From California, Hover Near Fame and Smoking Gun. Go get it now, you won't regret it!
