i'm not sure if i agree that it sounds new, but i do think the new smithereens' album is pretty cool. on mgk morning show, dj john deBella said the songs are able to sound like both the smithereens and the beatles... i'm not familiar enough with smith's to say whether that's true or not. to me, the songs strongly sound like the fab 4 ... but i do agree that i like the effort to bring the music back in a new way, for another generation inundated with new music. plus, in an xpn interview, smithereens said the reason for the cover album was because the beatles were such an influence on all the members of the band, which makes this, in my humble opinion, a meaningful tribute.
