"Ghosts" Is #5 On Express Milwaukee's Best Of 2010 List

Wed, 22 Dec 2010 21:06:49 -0500

Thanks Express Milwaukee!!

“Part escapist fantasy about befriending a ghost, part exploration of post-break-up numbness, One For The Team’s third album is first and foremost the catchiest power-pop album of the year, topping even Superchunk’s similarly fantastic comeback record Majesty Shredding. I normally have a low tolerance for hooks this unabashedly sweet, but One For The Team smartly cloaks theirs in a hard outer shell, allaying them with heavy guitar riffs that dig their heels into the ground until they hit clay.”

"Ghosts" Lands On MetroMix's Best Of 2010 List

Wed, 22 Dec 2010 21:01:09 -0500

Thanks MetroMix!!

“For their third album, “Ghosts,” the formerly fresh-faced power-pop pixies of One for the Team go world-weary and dark, examining doomed relationships and exhuming skeletons in the closet on an aptly titled collection of lyrically haunted tunes. Even as their words take a turn toward the despondent (sample chorus: “You’re not the one that I want / But I’ll take what you got / Because you’re here and they’re not”) the band’s ear for razor-sharp hooks and boy/girl harmonies remains as fine-tuned as ever, resulting in the oddly enjoyable contradiction of an album about defeat that often sounds downright triumphant.”
