Upon listening to this album, I was immediately impressed by Tom Beyer's origional lyrics, especially the song "Where You At." The energy level of the individual players is very strong which is hard to find in the "neo-swing" arena. There is a rough edge to this band that is unlike any other I have seen in this scene, with the possible exception of Royal Crown Review. In fact, I saw Acme live with Royal Crown, and they really gave them a run for thier money. I'm sure they would say the same themselves. It is quite clear that the neo-swing craze is nearing it's end, but for those people out there who are interrested in the MUSIC, you owe it to yourself to listen to these guys before you hand up your wingtips. Furthermore, if you can catch these guys live, it will really shock you. ~Amazon
