4.0 out of 5 stars 'Gaslight' is BETTER than 'Bastard Life or Clarity', July 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Gaslight (Audio CD)

I truly enjoy this CD. My favorite song is "What You Want Me To Forget." We all can certainly relate to the lyrics. At first I thought of "Chocolate" as a sweet, simple song. A friend pointed out the possible double meaning. I still enjoy it. In fact, all the songs on the CD have gotten me through many a work day in front of the computer, my headset filled with its melodies. If you are a TOFOG fan, or if you enjoy the quality of Russell Crowe's voice, this CD is a must-play.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gaslight is a Hit!, January 18, 2003

I bought Bastard Life or Clarity out of curiosity. But, I bought Gaslight because I am now a Tofog fan. This album is much more polished than the last one.The band is definitely a group of accomplished musicians and serious about what they do. There is much more mature subject matter here. I would surely recommend it to anyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars TOFOG Shows Promise, October 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Gaslight (Audio CD)

I was so impressed by TOFOG's live L.A. show in August 2001 that I couldn't pass up buying "Gaslight" when I saw it was available for purchase after the concert. I discovered that this band is much stronger on stage than "Bastard Life or Clarity" suggested.

Although "Gaslight" is not the greatest album, there are some gems, namely "Circus," "Oblique Is My Love," "What's Her Name," "Eternity," and two unlisted bonus tracks, "Castle Builder" and "Danielle." Then there are "She's Not Impressed," "David," and "What You Want Me To Forget?", admittedly weaker songs that I nevertheless like, partly because I can still picture them being performed more than a year after the concert.

Owning both "BLOC" and "Gaslight," I have to say my frustration with Crowe's vocals is that he sometimes (surprisingly) "holds back" in the studio recordings. (A notable exception is "Things Have Got to Change," a *great* song from "BLOC" and my personal favorite.) That's why I think "Oblique Is My Love" and "What's Her Name" are two of their best songs; they are live recordings that show their strengths as a band.

Overall, I enjoy TOFOG's music. They have a good sound and seem to have a good time making music together, which is always a treat. Even though they are a much better band live than the weaknesses in their albums might suggest, I'd still recommend giving their music a try.
