The Exciting Sounds of Menahan Street Band is the third full-length studio album by American rhythm and blues group Menahan Street Band.
Reception
Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Mark Deming writing the "music frequently plays like a collection of soundtrack pieces to forgotten movies and television shows of the '70s" and "the vintage-style compositions, arrangements, and production are almost spooky in their accuracy". In Spill Magazine, Gerrod Harris gave this album a 4 out of 5, calling it "a sound that could set the tone and atmosphere of a Tarantino film" that has "a complete vibe that while founded on nostalgia and reminiscing for the past, is driven by excellent musicianship and strong songwriting". In a 7 out of 10 review for Under the Radar, Mark Moody called The Exciting Sounds of Menahan Street Band "a cohesive listen" while criticizing some tracks as weaker than others.
