The Center of the Universe

Find your Center of the Universe

     

I've had this CD for over two years now and it remains a big favorite.
Everything you love about power pop is here! The hooks, the melodies, the harmonies, the sounds that move you, both physically and emotionally.
In the case of Admiral Twin, diversity is a huge strength. They do a lot of things, but they do it all with the same high quality execution. The sweeeet sounds of "Good As Gold", with it's optimism and lush harmonies. The rhythmic bite of "Smash It Up". The two sides of love expressed in "I Confess" and "If Hell is Like You". Lyrical puzzles tied in melodic threads of "Renegade Planet", "Big Black Car", and "Fear". The cautions of "Monument" and the warmth and hope of "Get Well Soon". The Center of the Universe takes on many meanings here. The famous Tulsa auditory landmark, our little planet in the grand scheme, each of us as we relate to the parts of our world that touch us, and our perception of our spiritual place. As usual Admiral Twin can entertain us and challenge us to think about these things at the same time. This is my #1 Best of 2007.
The Admiral Twin guys have been providing great Tulsa based power pop since 1998, and this is one of their best. Can't wait to hear what their next project will be, they never fail to impress me.
