4.0 out of 5 stars just about the perfectest guitar pop ever, November 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fear of God (Audio CD)

this record and 'silverbeet' are both as simple and direct as possible but still a treat to jaded or snobbish ears. uncynical, sweet songs, fuzzy gutars and unassuming, endearing charm throughout. timeless too.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bats' Winning Edge, September 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Fear of God (Audio CD)

New Zealand's The Bats play effortless pop with a winning combination of fetching melodies and great bass lines. This release showcases their strongest line-up and songwriting to date, especially "Straight Image" and "Jetsam". The latter has one of the most amazing bass passages I've ever heard in a pure-jangle pop song. This one is a must!

I first heard the bats ona little known surfmovie (or rather bodyboaring movie) called Blastoff. It had Black and Blue on it, whch is an amazing song and worth buying the entire album for, however the Blastoff tape also had "flotsam" on it, Flotsam is an amazing song as well. There is a beautiful harmony between the lead singers voice and a female background vocal. Give it a listen
