is aweful!!!! I've been trying for a week now to like their second Cd but its just crap, at some points it sounds just like Gwen Stefani....think Holla Back Girl. They seem to have gotten a producer that wanted to make them commercial and radio sounding. The best track is "Turned To Real Life" which was on Version 1.0 of their first album and it too has been messed with.
Sorry if this was all negative.....it's been a real Monday.....a Rainy Monday, from the first CD...LOL. Please do not let my opinion stop you from giving this a listen when it comes out tomorrow.


Always remember you are unique....just like everyone else.

I really like Turned to Real Life, and was surprised that it was left off subsequent re-releases of Pilots.

And it's funny that they're going to the 'commercial and radio' sound, since my theory on whey Real Life was dropped in the first place was because 'they' wanted to give Shiny Toy Guns a dirtier sound/image, sort of like back in the 80s, when guys like Duran/Wham! went from pretty boys to having facial stubble (well, at least George Michael did).
