4.0 out of 5 stars And "the few" have good taste., July 10, 2003

This review is from: Bang the Earth Is Round (Audio CD)

When the Sugarplastic released "Bang, The Earth Is Round" in 1996 they were already almost two decades out of time. Sounding like a less fidgety version of early XTC, singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer Ben Eshbach created a clever, melodic, and - above all - quirky pop gem. And although it shines with musical ingenuity, there may be too high a cute-factor in the album's obtuse lyrics and major hooks for it ever to rise above cult status. Highly recommended for the few, however.

I was exposed to this album by a fellow XTC fan and I instantly fell for it. Smart, quirky and infectious. Give it a spin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beatle-esque great-ness; wonderful melodies, March 10, 1999

A great CD from a band that is totally themselves. Meaningful lyrics, beautiful melodies, and tunes you'll be hummin' as you dream about what could have been if Yoko never existed.
