Still Flyin' is an interesting band, especially when you discover them because you heard "The Hott Chord Is Stuck" and expect the band to sound largely similar to it. They don't. While "Hott Chord" is like Akron/Family by way of Paul Simon, the rest of Never Gonna Touch The Ground errs on the side of rock steady/reggae, which isn't bad... it's just not my thing.

There's interesting moments across the whole album, like how "Haunted Houses" is an interesting homage to horror movies that echoes shades of The Polyphonic Spree, but ultimate fails to motivate me toward anything at all. At the end of the day the one true keeper is this song, with the cheerleader chant of "ECH OH TEE TEE, SEE ECH OH ARE DEE" and the bouncy upbeat feel that doesn't seem tired or cliche like several of the other songs across the album.

As always, YMMV.
