POP MATTERS MAGAZINE: "If I had to pick an obvious standout, it would be "The Taj Mahal of America," which possesses the hallmarks of fine pop songwriting - a thoroughly natural and engaging melody combined with a sing-songy style and non-typical instrumentation that lifts the group above the majority of the pack." |--|--|--| INDIE MUSIC.COM: "Even as I enjoy putting this disc on repeat and listening to the whole thing over and over and finding new quirks with each spin, there is one track, in particular, that rises like a phoenix over the ashes of your typical pop wasteland. “The Taj Mahal of America” is an interesting and prime example of poignant songwriting that manages to surpass even its own moody undertones and delivers an arrestingly beautiful track in the process.The instrumentation is sparse, but lush when it mixes with the soaring, pleading vocals of Blatz. “Taj Mahal” is full of clean lines and a striking sense of heartfelt modesty – this is not overdone, but a fully realized song in every capacity. “If I say I’m uninspired I’m lying to you/trying to prove I’m not afraid to be the Taj Mahal of your America” doesn’t break down doors musically, but it’s suggestive of the bigger and bolder themes that seem to converge in the core of this tune." |
