Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Pain is a horribly catchy eight-piece music group with a horn section, a goofy and uplifting and dashing concoction that sounds something like a twisted relative of They Might Be Giants. Punchy and rhythmic in something of a non-stop energetic flow of musical excitement, Full Speed Ahead , their fourth release, flaunts yet another collection of overly clever songs sung with an air of dorky confidence. Truly a stupendous feat, the ingeniously original lyrics are presented in such a fashion that they're catchier and more sing-a-long friendly than a preschool nursery rhyme, all the while still maintaining the jocund maturity of a well-crafted pop song.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music Never Sounded So Good, December 3, 1999

By	Jimmy Lin (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Full Speed Ahead (Audio CD)

Listening to this CD has been one of the best things I've done all year. With a great medley of keyboard chords, horns, and guitars, Full Speed Ahead has got to be the best album of all the small, independent bands out there. Pain has consistently come up with some of the catchiest, greatest sounding-songs out there and anybody who likes rock/ska would thoroughly enjoy this new album!

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll have a new definition of Painful, December 16, 1999

By	Phatswalla (Olympia, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Full Speed Ahead (Audio CD)

What's Pain? Pain is the greatest thing since the invention of the compact disc (to listen to Pain of course). A spectacular band out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Pain is clever lyrics, loud horns, slick keyboard melodies and intense guitar action all shrink wrapped and digitalized for your listening pleasure. Full Speed Ahead is their 4th and by far the best album to date. Pain is for one. Pain is for all. Jump up and get ready to groove 'cause this isn't music to take sitting down!

5.0 out of 5 stars Painfully Sweet, December 3, 1999

By	Josh Framel (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Full Speed Ahead (Audio CD)

This is the fourth CD released from the band Pain, a band that exemplifies a perfect combination of Rock and Roll and grooving punk. With great songs like "White Recluse" and "Right On" they demonstrate their excellent song writing and energy filled beats. This is a CD I recommend to anyone who likes to really enjoy the music they listen to.
