I am a sucker for male/female alternating vocals and that's what first attracted me to this album. Having heard this disc now a million times I realize that although it is sweet and poppy it doesn't belong in this category mainly because they have more of a time capsule sound to them, as if the album was dug out from the late sixties - where solid grooves and naive melodies tell you from an array of experienced heartbreaks and sorrow that you can love and get hurt and all will be okay (repeat 3x).
