Muller and Patton is an astoundingly great album. The vocal arrangements are full of surprise and wonder, the playing, chiefly by the duo, is top-notch, and the songs are simply terrific. ...some of the best pop music being produced today. It's obvious to me that their talent knows no bounds, and they will continue to grow and have a lasting effect on listeners of discerning pop taste. They are music naturals, and they are here to stay - Alan Haber - Radio Host - Pure Pop/buhdge
These guys sound like a gently heated debate between the Fountains of Wayne, Ben Folds Five, and Ben Kweller after hours in the glitziest hotel ballroom in the world; their well observed lyrics and shimmering west coast harmonies make this a treat for anyone who wants their heart strings warming in the winter winds. - KarmaDownload
... everything from their silly quirky pop (I Want My Mommy) to the every changing tempos (We Oughta Work Together), they are simply a joy to listen to. For such obviously very young talents, well, look at the cover, they are light years ahead for their age.
This dynamic duo takes care of all the instruments and vocal duties on their self-titled rock-pop stunning success. Once again, I found myself having to listen several times before taking a liking to a band. Usually the process goes something like this-first listen, umm, nice melodies, sounds a little off key, second listen, these guys sound like some band I have heard before…third listen, I love this, what great fun it is listening to this album! You see the progression here? Well, I give everything a fair chance to impress me, and it was no exception with this CD. Listening has a lot to do with the mood I am in too; sometimes you can shut the door on an album if you are not in the right space for the type of music you are hearing. I heard it all loud and clear on listen number 3.
For two men they put together an incredibly enjoyable and accessible CD that a wide array of listeners would find common ground with, besides, it is all great fun. Give yourself a break today-no do not go to McDonalds-listen to Muller and Patton. Besides, what’s left “After You Cum” anyway?
