The AV Club : As with every era in popular music, the ‘90s spawned numerous bands whose fans far outnumbered their receptive critics, especially among ever-tolerant (and/or clueless) high-schoolers.

All you ever need, in the field of creative endeavour, is to have a brilliant idea, and to do it brilliantly. The rest takes care of itself.

If I've said it once, I'll say it again - Rock Plaza Central is a pretty awesome band. Their last two albums, "Are We Not Horses?" and "At the Moment of Our Most Needing" are both nothing short of excellent, and if you've not yet heard them, well I just don't know what you're waiting for.
