I'm from Sydney and followed these guys since 'Stoneage Romeos'. I gave up a bit on them about the time of 'Blow Your Cool', but gave them another shot when I heard 'Miss Freelove', I got 'Kinky' and thought it was pretty good.

Got 'Blue Cave' without hearing any of the tracks and was totally blown away by how good it was.

Fresh, rocking songs with a lot of typical Gurus humour. Some quite heavy songs but they stil maintain the melodies.

My faves = 'Why' and 'Big Deal'.

Great band - they played as a 'mystery band' at my work's new year party in 2008 and were great. I was surprised to find myself shouting for them to play their new stuff rather than their oldies.

Yeah, this record is heavier than previous HG platters, but they were a freakin' long touring rock band and that's just what happens dude! I luv this record, and think the song writing and playing is stronger than ever. Son-of-a-gun is more fun and wittier than anything they recorded before! Anyway, Hoodoos rule and this album is no exception so just get it and turn it up loud no matter how old you are!

This is a great CD. Disregard the other review that only gaved it 3 stars. To be honest, it doesn't quite deserve the 5 stars I gave it, but I wanted to improve the average. If you are into songs that are more staightforward and immediately catchy, skip past track 1, and start listening from the second track, "Down on Me." Now, turn it up and start driving.

This album contains many great songs: "Down on me", "Waking up tired" and don't forget a funny "Mind the spider", a tight "Always something" and at least a sad tribute "Night must fall".

4 1/2 stars. Near their best album Kinky (1991).

Man, I used to love Hoodoo Gurus. Stoneage Romeos one of my all time favorite albums along with "Blow you Cool" coming a close second. But "Blue Cave" was a real let down. It seems that they are trying for some type of anger album or something. This is by far their worst album. There are maybe 2 songs on the album that are any good, the best being the second song "Down on Me". Just look at the "New and Used" Blue Cave albums... There is a reason you see it for sale for $1.98...

This album is pretty good. "Wake up Tired" is my favorite song on the album. "Down on Me" is pretty good too. The singer sounds like the singer from Spacehog. I'm a brit-pop fan myself, but the Australians are close enough.
