5.0 out of 5 stars Settle down for some sweet surf music, no, wait, get UP!!!, December 11, 2005

This review is from: Atomic Mosquitos (Audio CD)

I read a review that just could not say enough good things about the smooth surf these nasty mosquitos produce. So, I finally got myself a copy and I can only concur with those who rave. At times I miss some vocal sound, but just sit back and let them massage your mind, or get up and move to the groove. Be ready to be surprised at every turn. I highly recommend this CD to all surf lovers and others with good taste.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice job with broken amps, April 12, 2011

This review is from: Atomic Mosquitos [Explicit] (MP3 Download)

While this is a truly delightful set of modern, original surf tunes, with wonderfully catchy and exotic melodies (wanna know what ringing chords are? Go to the "Love Canal"), I'm rather disappointed with the recording, which almost ruins the fun at times: ear-jarring, highly unclean guitar, plus cardboard-like drums often too low in the mix. Of course I don't really believe the Mosquitos' equipment to be kaputt - those amps, they just seem overdriven -, but if this is the way they wish to sound like, well, not a good idea. Then there's no need to be as ultra-smooth as, say, The Penetrators either - "Release the Mosquitos", their own album number two, would be the very point of reference. -- Still like it a lot, but in this case, the download version will do for me.
