Review - :
{$Savage Garden} is light, catchy, and undeniably melodic, and it's hard to believe they released their debut album in the late, not early, '90s. It's easy to say that their breakthrough single {&"I Want You"} sounds like a revamped {$Roxette}, but it's accurate -- it has a breezy chorus and frothy production that make it an appealing slice of mainstream {\pop}, the kind banished from the airwaves in 1992. Occasionally, {$Savage Garden} reach that peak elsewhere on their eponymous debut -- most notably on the second single, {&"To the Moon and Back,"} and {&"Truly Madly Deeply"} -- but they lack the vision and discipline to make the record anything more than fitfully entertaining. But those highlights almost make the album worthwhile. [Both the Finnish and the Asian editions offer an eight-track bonus CD that includes the following: {&"I Want You (Xenomania Punxy Mix),"} {&"To the Moon & Back (Hani's Num Radio Edit),"} {&"Truly , Madly, Deeply (Australia Mix),"} {&"Break Me Shake Me (Remix),"} {&"Mine,"} {&"Love Can Move You,"} {&"All Around Me,"} and {&"I'll Bet He Was Cool."}] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
