The Marvelous 3 is a band with an urbane name and a brand of pop-rock to match. Lead singer and guitarist Butch Walker often sings suspended notes in a timbre resonating heavily with nasal Bowie-ness. Drummer Slug and bassist Jayce follow suit with riffs that stop just short of grungy aggression, tempered with a polished reserve. Sound like the perfect Brit band? You'd say yes when you hear how Walker rounds out his words with proper British diction. But this trio from Atlanta would have you fooled. Maybe they're poseurs? Who cares. With lyrics cheekier than Ben Folds's and hooks far more memorable than Third Eye Blind's or Matchbox 20's, their songs are refreshingly structured and predictable in a way that is wholeheartedly gratifying. A combination of '90s noisy guitar rock, '80s pacing, and '70s glam, Hey! is unapologetically radio-ready and a hell of a lot of fun. --Beth Bessmer

Entertainment Weekly
It's tempting to write off this Atlanta trio as just another Third Eye Blind clone [but] Hey! is actually more Cheap Trick than cheap imitation.

People
You may find it tough to resist the word games played by newcomer Butch Walker ... lead scribe, singer and guitarist for this Atlanta-based trio.

Customer Reviews

Best of Butch before he was a solo artist!
All Butch Walker fans should own this CD.

This CD has so many songs that Butch Walker plays at his live shows, that if you have been to one you will already know most of the songs, and you will wish he would play the rest at future shows.

This album cant be touched!!!
Simply one of the best albums of the last 25 years. You'll never hear or see a better performance than the ones that Butch, Jayce, and Slug used to give. Long live Marv3!!!!!!

M3 = Hooks+Witty Lyrics+Attitude
I found M3 through Amazon, ReadySexGo was recommended to me. Thank You Amazon. Though not as strong of an album as ReadySexGo, this is still a very good power pop/rock album. You're So Yesterday, Freak Of The Week and Write It On Your Hand are my personal favorites, but the whole album is pretty solid. Another review mentioned Cheap Trick - I agree that M3 sounds a bit like them. Butch Walker obviously had/has alot of different influences that can be heard. If you saw the VH1 Rock Honors, he played with the All American Rejects on the Def Leppard tribute.
If you like upbeat, catchy rock n roll - buy this album. But start off with ReadySexGo - it's simply a more solid album start to finish.
