Editorial Reviews

Following in the footsteps of Foo Fighter Dave Grohl, American Hi-Fi frontman Stacy Jones put aside his drum duties with Veruca Salt and Letters to Cleo to form American Hi-Fi--a wise move since Jones proves here to be a gem of a singer-songwriter and guitarist. The quartet's 13-song debut disc runs the gamut from booming, bubblegummy rock with edgy undertones ("Surround") to infectious, Offspring-like pop punk ("Flavor of the Weak"). Muscular guitars create an arena-rock feel, while producer Bob Rock (Metallica, the Cult) helps make the group's stylistic shifts seem smooth as they move from the metallic "My Only Enemy," which sounds like a more organic Nine Inch Nails, to near Nirvana on "Hi-Fi Killer." American Hi-Fi cranks out delectable ear candy for fans of pure, guitar-driven power pop. --Katherine Turman

5.0 out of 5 stars You gotta get it!, April 7, 2001

By A Customer

I first heard "flavor of the weak" on the radio, and right then I knew I had to have the cd. After I bought it and listened to it I found I loved all of the songs!!! This is an awesome cd and if you don't own it, you definitely have to get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this CD, it is amazing!!! American Hi-Fi is awesome!, September 9, 2001

I know all of you people probably think Flavor of the Week is the only good song on the CD, but you wrong! This CD has tons of good songs!!!! "Another Perfect Day" is the best song out there, behind "Flavor of the Week"! It's an awesome song!!! "Vertigo" is a really good song, and they have more good songs! I could listen to this CD 10 times through, and still be loving every song! This CD ROCKS!

And by the way American Hi-Fi is not pop!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars INSTANTLY MEMORABLE POWER POP TUNES!!!, August 19, 2001

By	Jeff Spiegel (CHICAGO) - See all my reviews

If you love power pop, then this CD will live in your CD-player for the next several months. The music is tight and original, the singer has excellent range and a great voice, the guitars are strong, the drumming powerful, the lyrics are kool, its just a brilliant CD. It just keeps getting better and better with each listen, and everyone who has heard this in my car has gone out and bought it as well. This is nothing like those ... punk/pop bands that play "songs" at breakneck speed and make you embarrassed to listen to them unless you are under 15 years old. By the way, check out their great tune "VERTIGO" (not on this CD, but on American Pie 2 Soundtrack.
