“Those Lansing boys in the People’s Temple have become a reliable staple
in the garage-pop landscape. On their third album, they’re still
ripping and stomping as well they were on Sons of Stone and More for the
Masses. Sure, their stuff leans vintage Nuggets (see the tambourine on
“Handsome Nick”), and once again, they wear that sound well. But perhaps
their finest work comes on “I Don’t Mind”, where they let their vocals
echo and ring with minimal backing-just the ethereal, distant sound of
what might be a tape machine. Of course, they’re also ready to turn up
the power, which they do exceedingly well on the appropriately titled
“Fast Thrills”. Thus far, they’re three for three and show no signs of
letting up.”
