5.0 out of 5 stars It's About Time!, May 2, 2000

I just bought the new Deathray release and I cannot put it away. The long anticipated first release of Sacramento wonderband Deathray, comes charging out of the gates with a fresh, catchy sound in a music industry struggling with an identy crisis. "Only Lies", my favorite track, is best described as 80's new wave meets Weezer with punchy guitars and a sing along chorus. If you are as tired as I am with all the major label "clone" bands that clog the airwaves then I suggest you pick this CD up. You will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like good old new wave then you will LOVE these guys, May 17, 2000

Deathray was formed by 2 former members of the band Cake, one of which wrote the hit song, "The Distance." The band makes some of the best sounding "new wave" music around. It's a gleeful mix of the new wave eighties and the glam 70s sound but with nice harmonies and shiny hooks to boot. I'd say if you like Apples In Stereo, Guided By Voices or just want to hear a COOL pop record, then this is the CD for you!

just took a listen to the album this morning - wow. Makes me want to get in my car and drive up pacific coast highway with the music blaring (wish i had a car). anyways, this album strikes me as something completely different than whats being played on FM radio today(at least in so.cal) the music is upbeat and infectious, with just the right serving of thoughtful melancholy. although technically crafty, the bandmates didn't let the album get too saturated with technical cheese. the music resembles the ealrly eightees car's sound, revolver-era beatles, and the mormon taberbacle choir (all wrapped into one). highly recommended. seriously, take a listen, YOU'LL LIKE IT...
