"Almost as good, if not as good, as private eyes. Starts slow, but definitely has the same amount of hits -- "kiss on my list", "you've lost that lovin' feelin'", "you make my dreams" and "everytime you go away" are recognizable.

"The plug awards put these kids in the punk category. Sure, i hear the attitude, but the instrumentation isn't confrontational enough and the vocal delivery lacks a rebellious snarl.
