Editorial Reviews

Though some of the Blondie-isms of Pop Said remain, the Darling Buds' sophomore record is a musical progression from the debut and just as strong as its predecessor. Andrea Lewis turns in some saucy lyrics and sultry vocals, and the band throws ... Full Descriptioninflections of glam guitar ("It Makes No Difference"), and state-of-the-art dance pop which rivals the best of St. Etienne ("The End of the Beginning"). As with Pop Said, this is quality fare throughout. It never loses steam, crystallizing with "So Close," a prime lovelorn tune that seems to reference the Buzzcocks' "Why Can't I Touch It." Altogether, Crawdaddy smacks of a band who amount to more than just a good pop group.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every song catchy and listenable, December 11, 2003
This review is from: Crawdaddy (Audio CD)
This CD is under-rated. It's true they didn't change the world but who does? I recently found this CD again and listening to it realized it's better than most anything on pop radio today. I haven't heard the group's later efforts, but this was an energetic, original spin on the rhythmic things going on in alternative rock of the late 80's/early 90's. It's a great effort from a virtually unknown band, not overproduced, with lyrics that are light but smart, sly, sexy. Just good fun edgy pop rock, dark and sweet. I've re-bought old CD's from groups of this era, wondering if I'd like them as much the second time around. Most disappoint, sounding dated. This one is as good today as it was then.

5.0 out of 5 stars The GREAT lost album of the 90s, November 3, 2005
By 
kevin m antonio (rumford, ri United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crawdaddy (Audio CD)
'Crawdaddy' is what albums used to be: 10 songs, 40 minutes long, and not a clunker in the bunch.
The songs are simple and extremely catchy; it's one of those cds where after you listen to it, you have to play it again.... and again.
'Crawdaddy' actually spawned three college radio hits, the soft-loud-soft "It Makes No Difference", the romping "Crystal Clear", and the life affirming "Fall". The thing is the other seven songs could've been hits as well, especially the one two-punch of "A Little Bit of Heaven" and "Honeysuckle".
I wish the Darling Buds had hit it BIG; they deserved it. This cd is proof. It's 15 years old, but still as fresh as today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, February 9, 2010
This review is from: Crawdaddy (Audio CD)
This CD is great. The music is nice. I could listen to it all the time. The Darling Buds are great. This CD is not that hard to get so why don't you go get yourself a copy of it. My favorite song on it is So Close.
