Cutters
Sonic Wave Love
CMC
     My first impression of Cutters was, uh-oh, another trendy alternative neo-punk type band.  Was it right?  Well let me tell you, only partly.  How do I mean?  Let me explain.

     Their songs are made up of airy techno-like rhythms, REM-style guitars and college radio voices.   So then they suck right?  Well, not quite.  You see they take these normally cheesy elements and blend them into a half-way decent disc.  Its very listenable.  Of course you can't kill your dog to it, but you can dance, drink and generaly hang out.  They also display some definite musical talent here and there throughout the twelve songs. 

     So what's the verdict then?  Well, buy it for your girlfriend, she'll love it.  After that only let her play it at parties during the summer.  Got it?  Ok, good.
