C'mon, Accept Your Joy! is the debut album of Athens, Georgia based power pop band Chris McKay & the Critical Darlings. According to Flagpole magazine, "There’s a vague but strong taste of Cheap Trick’s “Surrender” in its muscular smiling power-pop, and that’s always a selling point."[1] The University of Georgia paper Red and Black declared the disc as sounding like "the Clash or some other music from that time." [2] South Carolina's MusicLiveWire.net similarly assessed that " it could have been recorded in 1969 or 2030." [3]
