powerful stuff

A piano and drums duo that rocks harder than most fully stacked bands today? Indeed. The songs are inventive and interesting lyrically and melodically without losing the strong hooks that make it so darn fun to hum/whistle/sing along with.

Having picked up this album and their self-titled debut at the same time, I think "Yes, Virginia" is a consistently stronger effort, though I'd easily recommend both to anyone and everyone.

Standout tracks, in my opinion:
Backstabber
My Alcoholic Friends
Dirty Business
Shores of California
Necessary Evil
Mandy Goes to Med School

(Yeah, that's, like, half the album. The other half is pretty darn good, too.)

8/10
