Stay Positive
Date undefinedI'm an old guy, so holding steady in general is fine for me, and the tracks on this are consistently sound, non-repetitious and combine rock with melody. Not head-bangingly hard nor soft - that in-between spot that few bands achieve these days. I don't do thrash nor do I like working hard to pick out the lyric, so I count this as one of my best recent buys. Check the band out on YouTube and see whether you agree - before you buy!

Date undefinedI am a genuine Hold Steady fan. The Hold Steady remind me of pre-Born-to-Run-Springsteen--a torrent of words and attitude. I fell in love with the group after hearing their second album, Separation Sunday. When I first heard "Your Little Hoodrat Friend," it felt like a "first kiss." I have liked everything they have done since (and before).
Even after hearing the songs on Stay Positive just a few times I can safely say that this album is as good as anything they've released so far. After hearing them a few more times, I wager some songs may turn out to be even better.

Date undefinedEvery track is enjoyable in its own way. Not as good, in my opinion, as their last album Boys and Girls of America but still great CD for anywhere from the car to a bonfire.
