Great Record!, April 8, 2008
This review is from: Animal (Audio CD)
What a shame! One of the best Australian bands. Animal comes out then they break up. As the other reviewer said this wasn't as rocking as previous Motorace albums.
This album was promoted quite poorly by their record label. it has such a polished sound though. Standout tracks "Want you", "The time, the place", "A little closer", "Not so blue". Beautiful songs. World class sounding.
Patrick Robertson's voice is superb and extremely mature on this album. I have a huge respect for the band for taking their music to another level. The lyrics are astonishingly deep and emotional.
This should have been a massive album for them. I saw the final show in Melbourne, Australia. It was truly great. I recall them filming the show. Hopefully a DVD of it will be released one day.
If you purchase this then also purchase Five star Laundry. It is quite possibly one of the best Australian rock albums ever created.

Goodbye Motor ace..., October 7, 2005
This review is from: Animal (Audio CD)
The last album from the guys that brought you Shoot This and Five Star Laundry - definitely a new sound and album deserving an audience. Every song will grow on you, a little bit more mellow than their past releases. Favourite tracks include Not So Blue, The Time The Place, A Little Closer and the rather symbolic No Place To Go.
All the best & Goodbye Motor Ace
Get this record or go to one of their farewell shows in december.
Definitely a loss to the australian music industry...
