Spying song titles like "The Kids Are Not Alright" and "Reese Witherspoon" on this disc, one might think
Tom Daily was a novelty hit wannabe in the mold of
Weird Al. But "The Kids Are Not Alright" proves to be a moody and honest wake-up call and "Reese Witherspoon" a quirky, upbeat bit of pessimism. The rest of the album is just as surprising and pleasing, marked by deft songcraft and a dash of experimentalism. In short, it's pop that actually makes you think. ~ Tim Sheridan
