Editorial Reviews

With uncompromising artistic integrity, in a seemingly consolidated and corporate music world, 'Closer To The Sun', Slightly Stoopid's 5th release, is bound to become a landmark recording. Coming off the heels of one of independent music's colossal success stories, and one of the most successful truly independent albums of the last 2 years, 'Closer To The Sun', the band's latest offering, is destined for reaching an even wider audience. BMG. 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stoopid is as stoopid does...., July 7, 2005

I loved The Longest Barrel Ride. Acoustic Roots is the best live acoustic album I own. Everything You Need, however, was heavy on production effects, which I didn't enjoy as much as Barrel Ride. With Closer To The Sun these guys find a good middleground. The sound is polished and refined, and their use of effects is not as overwhelming as in Everything You Need. the songs are varied in sound and very enjoyable. Plus, the bonus disc has 4 interesting tracks on it, making this a pretty good buy. Pick it up...

Slightly Stoopid does it again on "Closer to the Sun." This CD really highlights the entire group and is great for any first time Stoopid listeners. My favorite tracks are "Bandelero," "Closer to the Sun," "Zeplike," and "Somebody." But, the whole album is great to throw on for parties or when you are chillin' at the beach and let it play through!

Even though this genre isn't my cup of tea,I still found 'Closer...' to be a decent find.Sort of dug the way they fuse together old school reggae,funky blues,rock and punk.Some of the better cuts here include "Babylon Is Fallin'","See No Other Way",the disc's single "Somebody","This Joint" and "Zeplike"(nice acoustic guitar).Line-up:Miles-guitar&vocals,Kyle-bass&vocals,Tim Wu-sax,Ikey Owens-keyboards and Adam-drums.Might appeal to some fans of Sublime,Mighty Mighty Bosstones,Goldfinger,Bob Marley G.Love&Special Sauce.
