4.0 out of 5 stars Without reservation: A very good album, June 13, 2000
By 
This review is from: Against the Stars (Audio CD)
And it's oh-so-pretty, too! The only reason I can imagine this bouncy pop-rock was kept off the air would be that it was deemed TOO catchy. Bummer of a band name--it doesn't make them seem the type that would play mod light fixtures on their album cover. The gender alternation on lead vocals works surprisingly well. It's enough fun to be hip & indie, but commercial enough to hold together for the full 45. "Discopolis" really cooks.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most underrated albums ever., June 5, 2010
By 
Tim CH (Mountain View, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Against the Stars (Audio CD)
I enjoyed the Dambuilders earlier work, Ruby Red, but managed to miss the release of Against The Stars.

Several years later, my brother bought me a copy. When I got around to listening to it, I was blown away. It's a mystery to me how this album didn't help further the Dambuilders inertia in the indie-music scene.

Songs such as Herstory and I Was Wrong are just incredible - the composition and execution are top-notch, but the emotion in the songs is what really gets to me. I'm not sure why this wasn't a bigger success -- lack of marketing? Poor timing? Who knows, but regardless, this album is really wonderful to listen to.

If you are a fan of 90s indie music, this is a must-have. Words can't describe how much I still enjoy this album.
