Customer Reviews of Toy Matinee [Unitone]

Almost perfect . . .
Simply put, this is one of the best pop albums of all time. Kevin Gilbert, Patrick Leonard, Guy Pratt, Tim Pierce, and Brian MacLeod are basically a supergroup - but one that reached its potential. Bill Bottrell's production and mix are outstanding. There are so many wonderful lyrics, inside jokes, and clever details in each song, but even if one isn't into the minutiae, there are memorable melodies and superb playing. It's a shame there wasn't a true follow-up, but Kevin Gilbert's solo albums carried on in the same spirit with often inspiring results.

The Best CD/Album of the 20th Century that No One Has Heard
This CD is a work of art. I heard the unique beginning of the first track "Last Plane Out" for the first time in the early 90's while traveling down an escalator in one of the Washington D.C. Tyson Corner shopping malls. That moment began my love affair with this CD. It features great writing, great musicianship, and virtually perfect mixing. In fact, I sent a copy to the Richmond Virgina band I had once played with (some of my old Army Buddys) and they began using it in between sets and to help set the monitors and sound levels. If you are a rock or pop musician, you must experience this CD. If you enjoy well crafted music, whether you are a musician or not, you owe this CD a listen. For years I would find this CD in bargain bins (a sad comment on initial marketing I suppose) grab every copy I could, and send them to friends. Every single recipient has commented on the greatness of this effort. I'm glad to see it available now at CDnow. One of my top 5 CD/Albums of all time.
