This is from the All Ages Zine - Thanks guys.
Classic indie rock here. A good, upbeat disk. Fun to drive to type record. Or something to motivate you to clean the house. One of my more favorite tracks would be She's Insecure. The band reminds me a bit of The International Noise Conspiracy, which is a good thing. These guys will most likely help fill college radio station air waves all summer long.(DH)

Living Underground After listening to this well produced album several times, I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to stand up and get my groove on next time around. Well maybe not, we'll see. The best genre I can touch on for This Microwave World is...well let's say they have the sound and style of a british pop rock band. Red States has all the key features to this... the catchy and fast upbeats that the drummer creates, the peppy bass melodies, the synth/organ keeping tempo as it surrounds and captures the sound of the guitar riffs, the lyrics being expressed in a poppy style of execution, etc... Maybe that will give you an idea of what I'm dancing to. I can see this as the album that the band has been craving for and trying to force out of their musical abilities all these years since the creation. In the past, TMW did not even have a drummer, they used a drum machine. Now with this latest CD, they have picked up a real drummer which, in my opinion, completes their sound and makes a much more fuller 'rock' sound. The music that these guys bring to the table is without a doubt in depth. When I listen closely to the music that these guys put out on some of these songs, it amazes me. They have so much going on, and the way the music was put together as a whole is great. The way I see it is, if a band can have this much going on in their music and create such a fluent drive that flows to my ears, that's impressive. This is certainly their best work to date, and I can see this album making TMW's fanbase increase dramatically. http://www.livingunderground.net/reviews/T/ThisMicrowaveWorld_RedStates.php
