5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good, March 21, 2004

By 

Carrie M Becker (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Conscious Consumer (Audio CD)

I'm giving this album 5 stars to balance out the previous horrible review. Otherwise, it would be a very strong 3. The wit and humor of the band's seminal work is unfortunately mostly missing here, but their focus remains tight. Musically, it is very reminiscent of singer Poly Styrene's under-appreciated solo work in the 80s. It's not just punk rock guitar slashing and it does a very good job of servicing her vocals.
Fans of X-Ray Specks are a different breed of punk fans, and I think most will find this to be an interesting album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Underrated Album from the SpeX, November 2, 2004

By 

Kathryn Reynolds (Charlotte, North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Conscious Consumer (Audio CD)

It's not punk, it's not pop, but it's something very good indeed! When I found out that this album is relatively rare and hard to get hold of, I knew I had to get it right away! Seeing as I'd recently seen it at my local music shop, for an unbelievably low price, I went over straight away and bought it. I popped it in my car on the way home, and haven't been disappointed yet!

I definitely reccomend this album for anyone that is a fan of X-Ray Spex and Poly Styrene, it is not a 'crap' album by any means, and I think it should be made commercially available so more people can experience it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Rock album, July 24, 2008

If you're expecting a raw and energetic Punk album like Germfree Adolescents then forget it. What you're getting here is a good Rock album. My favorites are Crystal Clear and Sophia - they're both melancholic rock songs which fits me to a T. :)
