What they are saying...
Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover
"It's taken MMI five years to recuperate, but their spry hard rock power pop is back on the self-released 33 1/3. Funny, if Sony had held on to them, they could be stars now, with any reasonable standard of artist development: This LP is full of a big thick wall of loud guitar pop that has unequivocal commercial rock crossover potential, but the singing, lyrics, and pop hooks are indie enough for those with refined taste. The recording is strong, the band poised, the chorus harmonies in place, and they can bop with the best D.C bands..."
Washington Post
"After its 1995 Columbia album, it seemed that Mother May I could be added to the casualty list. But following a long period of convalescence, the local trio is back with 33 1/3, an album of poised power-pop. Although the disc would do credit to any multinational entertainment corporation, it's been released by a small Baltimore label....sharp,lively and tuneful."
Rootstown Music, Belgium
"There are some potential hits on there. Why does nobody know this group?
Strange thing is that no major label cared to re - sign this group, and maybe the record won't be able to get out of anonimity. Or maybe the group has chosen to work that way, 'cause their first encounter (accident?) with a major left them in the cold (Columbia Records / "Splitsville"). The group was dumped after 1 CD, even with good reviews and press. Maybe that's the reason they want to try it on a smaller scale. Take your chance and go for it, you won't be disappointed."
Jon Jolles, Uno Mas
"One thing's for sure; if I heard any number of songs from this record on the radio, I wouldn't flip the dial. And that is the point. This is a record that is begging to be played. Now all we can do is wait and see if radio is smart enough to give 33 1/3 a spin."
