One is entirely unreleased and two are revisions of previous versions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">All of the tracks are interesting and worth a listen for the synthpop fan. Every song knows well how to capitalize on its hooks and melodies and deserves kudos for knowing how to write pop songs correctly. It\u2019s nice to hear a band step up to the challenge of delivering more than just cookie-cutter copies of the latest electro-pop hit and actually write something that you\u2019re forced to appreciate, even if it isn\u2019t quite what you wanted to hear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It gives hope that Geld, the upcoming album featuring \u201cThe Bomb\u201d, might very well be worth your time and money.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>from ReGen Magazine (~12\/2004)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neuroticfish Category: Electro-pop Album: Bomb E.P.
