AllMusic Review by AllMusic
1995's MACH V could just as easily be construed as
"Mock Vee," considering the group's deliberately prefab pose. Although
in reality, the group consists of Minneapolis residents Dan Sarka and
Peter Daniel, MACH V presents the Vandalias as three cartoon brothers
from rural Michigan, Jim Jim, Bobby and Alan Vandalia. The 14 songs are
a loosely constructed fable of the brothers' early years and their rise
as a Raspberries-influenced power pop band. You can ignore the lyrics,
however, and enjoy the album as a kicky blast of guitar pop energy,
with spiraling harmonies and plenty of crunchy hooks. Specifically,
"Have You Seen Mine," "Hey Now (Motor City)" and "Cathy's Back" are
candy-pop blasts in the grand tradition of both the 'berries and early
Cheap Trick. Good stuff.
