5.0 out of 5 stars Our Beloved Camper, December 11, 2000

Camper Van Beethoven is still one of my favorite bands. This is one of their more polished releases but still fuses strange bedfellows like middle eastern scales, violin, and trippy rock. "Eye of Fatima" was probably their closest thing to a hit. Meaning: it got radio and MTV play. (Not counting their "Pictures of Matchstick Men" cover). Some favorites are "She Divines Water", "Never Go Back" and "Life is Grand". If i had to reccommend one album by this stellar band it would be Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic and Timeless, January 1, 2001

This review is from: Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart (Audio CD)

I hadn't listened to this one in a few years, found an old tape and popped it in, and was amazed at how fantastic it still is! This one just doesn't age. Gotta finally break down and get the cd, since my vinyl version is nearly worn out. Great album. She Divines Water is still one of my all time favorite songs, as are a few others here. Once you start listening, you will want to listen to it again and again.

If you are looking to explore some Camper Van Beethoven music for the first time, this is the one album you should buy. And if you are a die hard CVB fan it is certainly one of your favorites.

Dark humor, sarcasm, reggae and zydeco inspired electric rock n' roll was never more electic and witty than in Camper Van's hey day.

Our Beloved Revolutionary is a sure-fire classic and is always mentioned as a favorite of CVB's following and fans.

This album and much of Camper Van's music is timeless, simply unique and enjoyable and it'll make you laugh and still take their musicianship and song writing ability seriously.
