5.0 out of 5 stars One of the top 10 greatest rock records ever made., May 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Alpha & Oranges (Audio CD)

If you haven't heard of Atomic Opera, you must be one of those who only likes the bands that are in the spotlight. Live a little. Even though AO hasn't hit it huge yet, which they will soon enough when the word gets out, they have made some of the greatest music in I have ever heard in my 24 years of life. From their impossible to find debut "For Madmen Only", they have consistently put out rocking tunes with killer harmonies. Think heavier King's X and Galactic Cowboys. From the prayerful "All These Things" and "Magic Castle", to the gritty "For Madmen Only", this disc has a little of everything. All have that uplifting, inspiring, non-offensive content the rock industry needs. We are flooded with too much angst and bitterness today. Atomic Opera bring a refreshing sound, both musically and lyrically, to a music industry feeding us with anger and rage.

"Consider this: The transcendant object of existence-to transport beyond time and space and experience the infinite on a first name basis; and Oh!...to find an extraordinary intermediary to accomplish this calling!...for madmen only?...hum!?" Taken from the liner notes in Atomic Opera's debut CD "For Madmen Only".

If you don't have the hard-to-get 'For Madmen Only' and want to get a feel for what it sounds like, buy 'Alpha & Oranges'. Great grooves and enough crunch to stir your brain. Not to mention the reflective lyrics. Stop waiting and BUY IT!

This is more laid back not as aggresive as there first(For Madmen Only). I would recommend this album after there first one out of the four they have released.
