Sophomoric. Sort of one dimensional, flat. It sounds like a bunch of kids in a basement rockin' out to their own tunes, which is fine and I appreciate, but just not a necessary disc unless you are a really big fan. I was introduced to TGUK through a cover of 'Alec Eiffel' on the Pixies tribute disc, which was brilliant (a difficult task mind you). So I was pretty disappointed when I picked this up before I left Florida, it seemed like the band that had done a great cover of a Pixies tune no less, was nowhere to be found on the disc.
