5.0 out of 5 stars a work of art, April 4, 2000

Ryan Wicklund (michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Foma (Audio CD)

I own all of the Nixons' cds, including the rare ones like six and halo. I love all of their music, and Foma especially. I've owned this cd for over 3 years, and it's still my favorite. I love the Metal/grunge/alternative sound that they put out, and every song on here is amazing. The lyrics are amazing, and have put a lot of my own thoughts into words that I could never have done myself. You need to buy this cd and all of their other cds, and go see them live. They're amazing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, heavier than you might think, April 2, 2000

"jaime_mateo" (Montgomery Township, J.J.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Foma (Audio CD)

_Foma_ is a most excellent debut by Oklhoma City's the Nixons. Although the song "Sister" might lead you to believe otherwise, this CD actually has a hard rock edge to it with songs like "Foma," "Fellowship," and "Blind" balanced out with ballads like "Sister" and "The Passion." Liking music on the heavy side, I like this album very much, although I also like the Nixons' self-titled follow-up CD, as well, even though it is less heavy. Heavy or not, the Nixons create high-quality, enjoyable songs. I recommend this album to all fans of rock music.
