 Ocean Blue revisited May 9, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
That's a compliment, actually. Shamelessly upbeat and infectiously poppy, the Changes strike me much as the Hershey, PA quartet The Ocean Blue did when their first album debuted in '89. Great driving cd, not a marginal song on the set. Worth buying and worth passing on to friends, without question.

Everyone who's had the pleasure of hearing The Changes' "When I Wake" knows that it's one of 2006's catchiest and most all-around lovable songs. What they might not yet realize is that the rest of Today Is Tonight is just as brilliant. It combines the best elements of The Police, The Pixies and Charlie Parker.
How has this album gone unnoticed? November 29, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love this album. It has a great indie pop sound. At times, the band goes for a more bouncy, electronic feel that reminds me of Postal Service. At other times, they really groove well with a jazz-tinged indie rock in the way bands like Sea and Cake used to. The songwriting is strong - I'd say 2 or 3 songs are a little weak, but the first 5 songs and the closer are fantastic. I've showed it to all my picky audiophile friends and they're digging it too. If you have a taste for catchy indie pop, give 'Today is Tonight' a try.
One of the best albums of 2006 January 10, 2007

I can't believe how good this album is. I bought it right at the end of 2006 and I think it may have taken my album of the year award. Everyone I've played it for has fallen in love with it. I hope to hear more from these guys in the near future.
One of the Best Indie Albums of 2006 May 30, 2007

I first heard The Changes on SomaFm's Indie Pop Rocks station. The song that came up, "When I Wake", has got to be the catchiest tune I've heard in years. Musically, The Changes are incredibly talented, layering hooks, melodies, and atmospheric vocals in a way that'll have you tapping your foot to just about every song on the album. "Today is Tonight" is a great album to listen to in the car, or anyplace you wouldn't be ashamed to be caught singing along.
I'd compare these guys more to the Shins, The Sea and Cake, and My Morning Jacket (Especially "Z") more than anything else. Some people claim similarities to Death Cab, and the Postal Service, but I find that there is more variety here than Ben Gibbard's recent work. "Today is Tonight" blends the best of new-wave indie pop with some classic rock elements. The result is a beautiful record from start to finish.
Some Favorite Tracks (though it was hard to single them out):
1. When I Wake
2. Water of the Gods
3. House of Style
4. The Machine
5. In the Dark
**NOTE to Synth-Pop/IDM/Indietronica Junkies: The album has tasteful snippets of drum machine and electronica, but as with make-up, it was applied in just the right amount so that it enhanced the band's sound instead of cheapening it. Don't expect fatty electro beats, or fully synthed out tracks ala Postal Service. This is Rock music, without question.
