Out of the ashes of a group called Trip Shakespeare comes Semisonic, three guys who share a heavy melodic sense. Combining traditional rock instruments with ambient noise and electronic wizardry, they concoct an appealing sound anchored deep in rock and roll. "If I Run" is a gorgeous tune while "FNT" (which stands for "Fascinating New Thing") has hooks galore. A must for any serious fan of rock & roll with a twist. ~ James Chrispell

Professional Reviews

Rolling Stone (12/26/96, pp.196-198) - "...a record of simple but sparkling modern pop, rattling with power-trio vitality. The album's luminous guitar-vocal glaze bears the distinct imprint of singer/guitarist Dan Wilson and singer/bassist John Munson's former band, arc popsters Trip Shakespeare..."

Entertainment Weekly (4/12/96, pp.68-69) - "What distinguishes alternative power pop from plain old power pop?....not much--which doesn't lessen the enjoyment of these plump pop nuggets and `na na na na' harmonies."
