 "So Long Astoria" by Ataris - zBoneman Music Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
So Long Astoria (the band's fourth full-length album of new material and their major-label debut on Columbia) is, in fact, so steeped in nostalgia that it amounts to something of a concept album.
In a nutshell, the concept is that growing up is alot more fun than being grown-up and that as goofy as the late 70's and most of the 80's appear in retrospect, coming of age during those awkward years was relatively innocent and magical.
Ataris, on the other hand are a band that will spin a donut and peel out of this cul-de-sac of a town (Astoria, is the berg from the movie The Goonies) and emerge with a great album in the future.

Astoria has changed over the years thanks to these and many other pioneers who first began doing business and calling this place their home.

Not getting laid is a time-tested song theme (especially when a band's core audience consists of horny teenage boys), but the preponderance of songs devoted to it is threatening to suffocate pop-punk.
That said, most of So Long, Astoria isn't as chipper, but the tracks are equally as strong.
For those of us already grown, So Long, Astoria is a fine trip down memory lane that celebrates the complexities of growing up.
