This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
With a hammer-heavy handle like Pound, you might figure these New York boys would pack some sonic wallop. Well, you’da figured wrong.
If there were any truth in advertising, these guys would be called Ounce; Quarter-Pounder tops. And make that with extra cheese; this debut disc is rotten with lightweight pop-rock melodies, jangly guitars, look-on-the-bright-side lyrics, Hootie-style hooks and happy harmonies. Even the occasional classic-rock chorus can’t give this sucker any more meat than your average Happy Meal.
