Rick Fleck Why do I love this album? Because it's some of the best damned surf rock of any period that you'll hear anywhere. Fantastic album! I was searching for it for years after seeing a single live video of The Why's performing on YouTube. I'm thrilled I could finally get ahold of it.

REVIEWS
-----------------------------

The Why's were characterized to me as a kind of Neptunas, but Japanese cute. I'm not sure that fits. The musicianship on the disc is quite solid, especially the drums.

Tracks 1-6 are reasonably well mixed, and display some interesting melodies, though a couple are lifted from the work of others.

Tracks 7-10 have an aural quality that is completely unlike the first 6, coming clearly from a different source, and were not remastered to overcome that stark difference. These are relatively murky, lacking in perceived dynamics, and sport much less sophisticated writing that is more like frat rock with reverb than surf.

All that said, I know many of you will find the Why's to be just what the doctor ordered, and they are touring the West Coast in November, so you and I can see what they are like live.
