4.0 out of 5 stars
Super catchy jam/pop rock, August 22, 2005
This review is from: Fly Between Falls (Audio CD)
ALO is a relative newcomer to the jam/pop rock scene and I couldn't be happier. After listening to the disc just a couple times you will find yourself yearning to repeat some of the stand out tracks on the disc. Soul, funk, jazz, and world beat are mixed and prodded to perfection with substantial vocals to compliment. "Barbecue" is a great opener, but the huge hit here is "Girl, I Wanna Lay You Down" (feat Jack Johnson), which with any luck will reach an understanding radio station and push it over the airwaves. There are a lot of great songs here and if you are into progressive jammy stuff like Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Umphrey's McGee, Particle, The Breakfast, etc, this is for you.
The four-piece collective includes Steve Adams (bass/vocals), Dan Lebowitz (guitars/percussion/vocals) and David Brogan (drums/vocals).

Great music for a barbeque..., November 14, 2005
This review is from: Fly Between Falls (Audio CD)
I saw these guys when they opened for Jack Johnson in the summer and liked them so much, I saw them again when they came back. If you get a chance to see a show, see it, Zach Gill plays a mean accordian. The music is definitely funky with some rock and blues influence. "Girl, I Wanna Lay You Down" featuring Jack is an obvious track worth repeating and "Wasting Time" certainly brought back some (ahem) memories. If you like Jack Johnson, this will be a good pick.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Fly Between Falls, April 27, 2006
ALO, or Animal Liberation Orchestra, sound like a bunch of hippies. These hippies are totally cool!
This is a surprisingly good CD. It's a re-release now on Jack Johnson's Brushfire label, so you know it's good. Jack even guests on the second track.
The music is very chill and laidback, but a little more uptempo than Jack Johnson. It has a little funky groove to it.
Although it does have some rather stupid lyrics at times, the music more than makes up for it. This is a really cool cd, perfect for hanging out. Recommended.
