"Coming of Age in Babylon" is a twenty-track soundtrack to the book by the same name. Read all of the reviews below! "They've sure hit pay dirt on this one, offering up indie-pop/indie-rock bands that run the gamut and come up with some blissful music that will help you through your highs and lows in life. Take the Kate Rays' "Social Butterfly," the album stand out, for instance. It's power-pop drive and sharp hooks, not to mention teen angst and soul-searching lyrics, make this number quite the catch. You'll be humming, bouncing, and singing along with this one from the first note until the last drum beat. Lead singer Kim Loach's voice is on the mark, beautiful and full of spirit, giving the song an unmistakable breath of fresh air. Mary Prankster's "Piss Off" is an insightful, quirky pop number that could be from the mind of a 16 year old female who's been used for sex and is trying to find the true meaning of love, yet hopes she's "never satisfied ... and it feels so good to be misunderstood." Or, it could be the voice of a middle-aged woman who has been going through life play her cards and just having fun. Lines like, "Rip off the wrong people and they send you to jail. Rip off the right people and they say you're showing initiative," are winners. Solid songwriting and some good pop hooks make this song another high point of the album. Other tracks to check out on this album include Three Finger Cowboy's "Kissed," Dayroom's "Better Days," The Stimulants' "Daddy's Girl," and Alastor's "64-600." - Alex Steininger, In Music We Trust Check out the artist's website: http://www.shuteyerecords.com Track List: 1.
