Editorial Reviews
Beware of the Maniacs is The Dodos first recording, selfreleased July 2006 recorded at Type Foundry Studios in Portland, Oregon with John Askew. Following the release The Dodos set out on a rigorous touring schedule that would carry through their sophomore release Visiter released by French Kiss Records (North America) March 2007 and July 2007 release by Wichita Records (rest of the world). The Dodos sound is shaped by the marriage of two periods in songwriter Meric Long's musical history: playing in rock/metal bands growing up in the suburbs, and playing and listening to old delta blues records in his post adolescent years. Meric began playing with Logan Kroeber in the fall of 2005, whose background in Santa Cruz heavy metal band Entragian made for a perfect fit and also added percussionist Joe Haener (Gris Gris) in March 2008.

Not quite as good as Visiter, but still excellent,

If you're reading this review and haven't heard their great 2008 release, go check that out first. If you already have Visiter and love it as you should, definitely pick this up. It doesn't reach quite the same heights but comes pretty close.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Not your average neo-folk album,

This review is from: Beware of the Maniacs (Audio CD)
The Dodos blend guitars (accoustic or slightly electrified most of the time but they're not averse to the occasional psych-trance riffalama) and percussion (bit euro-folk, bit batucada, bit african) with finely sung tunes on top. I like them. A lot. The formula is perhaps of better effect on their second LP but this album does the trick too.
3.0 out of 5 stars
A hint of things to come,
By Steve Hutchman (Philadelphia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beware of the Maniacs (Audio CD)
This a good starter album, but I would say visiter is there opus. This album is the sound of a band trying to find themselves. good but not great. Oh and if anybody has a problem with my review, please talk about the review and not my grammatical errors.
