Bodyrockers is just one really really great band. I first heard their first single I Like The Way You Move and I just thought it was such a great song, that I must get their whole album right now. So, after hearing the whole album I was just surprised, how come I haven't heard for that band before. They play really cool mixture of rock and electronics. If you like bands such as Jet, Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand and Bloc Party, you'll also like most of Bodyrockers' songs. There are also a couple of songs, which have much more electronics and less rock in them. Such as already mentioned I Like The Way You Move and also Round And Round and Dirty. I think Round And Round could become the next hit from this album, because it's just a great song, similar style than I Like The Way, just perfect for partying in the clubs. It also has some great rock elements, I especially like guitar riffs.
But on the other hand, there are also a couple of songs, which include just a bit, or even none electronics. You Got Me Singing is the best pure rock song here and also I Wanna Live. Just great. Another song that deserves mentioning is New York City Girl. This one is really funky song. The chours are sounding soo good. And I also have to mention Stuck In A Rut. It starts like a really hardcore electro song, but then turns into a nice ballad with piano playing. It sounds really cool.
So, I definitely recommend Bodyrockers to anyone who likes electro-rock, or something like that. Or if you like bands that I already mentioned. Just listen to the cd once and you're going to love Bodyrockers.

I have to admit I like this album by Bodyrockers. It takes me back to when I was in my teens. I was into heavy metal/hard rock as well as your typical pop radio music. The singers voice is very much like the voices from countless heavy metal/hard rock vocalists from the 80's. I definitely like the combination of the guitars and the electronic beats. Much better done than Scissor Sisters did with their album. I don't know what the big deal with that album was anyway this album actually Rocks! The unfortunate thing is this album has not received much hype. What's up?

The big track on here is I Like The Way (You Move). It starts with the drum beats and the track comes into full force with the the vocals. Very rockin' and very danceable. Their are plenty of remixes of this track as well which are by big name remixers so this track is definitely targeted to the club/dance market.

I like what they have done with Handel On Your Face. Sort of reminds me of a raw and rockish Ktel Hooked On Classics a bit with the classic samples but the track is actually much better than the cheesy compilations from the 80s.

The next big track on the album is Round And Round. Another rocking vocal track with their trademark big beats. The lyrics go "You've got me runining round and round and round and go aint nobody like you in the whole wide world guess what i'm a sucker for a run around girl". Sort of reminds me of Ratt meets ZZ Top. A fun track.

Overall like I said before this album is actually definitely worth checking out. If you like the sound of AC/DC with your dance and electronica then this album will definitely satisfy you.

I really wanted to like this album, a good friend of mine went nuts for it and made me give it at least one listen all the way through. Bodyrockers is reminiscent of older 80s & 90s bands like the other reviewers have been pointing out, for sure. The lead singer from Love and Rockets I think had some influence here, and Michael Hutchence too. Not sure if I spelled that right but it doesn't matter, because ultimately my opinion is that the CD isn't worth too much pondering. The tracks for the most part just sound like generic dance beats with way too much computerization (for my tastes anyway, I'm not into electronica.) I much prefer the sound of bands that make their music using actual instruments. So this was lost on me.

Bought this album for one song that I really loved, but the whole album turns out to be really good. It is a soft rock type album and it really is a great album.

Got this for the song "I Like the Way", which is AWESOME. The rest of the CD is pretty blah for me. I guess if I'd have thought it through, I'd just go back and buy that one track from iTunes. But since I got such a great deal on the whole CD it was worth giving the rest of the CD a chance.

I saw the video for the band's "I Like The Way" and knew the song thanks to one of those soda commercials, but I thought the boys had a little something to offer. During my initial run of the CD I thought it was pretty good but hasn't ever totally blown me away yet. I must admit the mix of dance rock they are doing is pretty catchy, but all in all nothing sticks to you, other than that catch all aforementioned single.

Very versatile group. Each track has it's own unique qualities and change-ups from the previous track. Will look forward to their 2nd album.

I love UK bands! This whole CD is wonderful for dancing and/or listening. The track "I like the way" was first released in 2004 and it's quite popular. Glad to have found it on Amazon.

This is an excellent album! It's worth every penny. If you don't move when you listen to this band it's because you are dead! Tremendous addition to my collection. Highly recommended.

My wife and I have divergent musical tastes but this CD seems to fuse it. These guys do a really good job of creating a whole cd of "rock song remixes". It is electronica enough for most techno people, yet rock/pop enough for the masses. My wife pretty much likes Eagles, Sarah M, and the 80s yet she has no problem putting this CD on.

From a review standpoint most of the CD is listenable. "Stuck in a rut" sucks pure and simple, it's their one attempt at a slow song. What's funny is that "I Like the Way" is probably one of the more moderate songs on the album. I think the best joints are:

Handel on you Face, interesting blend of classical and techno. Just a real different feel to it, almost a "where do I begin" feel.

Round and Round, sounds like they ripped ZZ Top in a good way.

Dirty and NY City Girl are both solid tracks as well.

As you can see I give a solid nod to 5 out of 11 songs. Much better average than your usual CD.
