4.0 out of 5 stars Great summer album!, April 4, 2003

By	"bob613" (Qc, Canada) - See all my reviews

These guys were originally called Fig Dish. Did you ever heard of Fig Dish ? That was the problem. The two albums recorded as Fig Dish (That's What Love Songs Often Do and When Shove Goes Back to Push) contained clever catchy songs but they didn't get much attention. Now they've changed their name to Caviar and they're back with even catchier songs and even more clever lyrics. This is a really fun album that you just have to listen in the summer.

There isn't a bad song on here, so I won't detail every one of them. I just want to point out the fun Tangerine Speedo, the energetic Sugarless and the surprisingly beautiful Looked So Hard I Nearly Wrecked My Eyes.

Call it catchy power-pop, call it summer music, whatever... Just make sure it comes to you when you do call it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is how music should sound!, August 29, 2000

By	Thornton F. Cole "evilsailor9" (Chicago or an airport near you) - See all my reviews

Take one of the most clever songwriters since Paul Westerberg or Alex Chilton and then make him mad and you have Caviar frontman Blake Smith. Out of the ashes of Chicago legends Fig Dish, springs new Island Def Jam artists Caviar.

Their self-titled debut album features songs many fans of Arbitron giant Q101 (WKQX) are likely familiar with including the fun, sassy, bossa nova tinged "Tangerine Speedo" and the pure bravado-fest "Flawed Like A Diamond." The song "Sugarless", featured on the "Gone in 60 Seconds" soundtrack rocks with Ramones like riffs from beginning to end and brings to bare the cockiness of any early Oasis song. These guys are to be believed---pure unadulterated music talent with the kind of swagger not seen since the 70's. Buy this album now---you'll thank me later!

5.0 out of 5 stars The only speedo ive ever liked, September 22, 2000

By	"indie-snob" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

First hearing Tangerine Speedo on Q101, Chicago, it was awesome. I purchased it for a dollar and a cent, but its definetely worth more than that. It has some great DJ beats, and although they may not be big right now, they're such a great band, they cant stand long without recognition. Seeing them live proved a worthy experience. In Chicago, they are allready big, but I dont think it can be long until every knows this band.

Hopefully, your planning on buying this CD. There are songs for every one. Harder rock and softer tones. They mix every popular element of todays music and come out with an original blend. BUY THIS CD!!!

PS- Even if you dont like caviar, buy Caviar! get it??? eh eh eh eh eh
