Editorial Reviews

1999 and second album by one of the most highly touted pop bands of the '90s. Produced by Brad Jones, this aural pop feast will satisfy the hunger of even the most finicky melodic rock fan. 13 tracks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Blowin' the Dust Off Power-Pop Wannabes, November 27, 1999

Drew Vance (Nashville, TN, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Godspeed the Shazam (Audio CD)

On their 2nd album, The Shazam--led by songwriter/vocalist/guitarist Hans Rotenberry--lay stake to their claim as the foremost power-pop combo currently performing. Not satisfied to merely adopt the conventions of power-pop form, The Shazam dive deep into the style's rich history and make its best elements their own. From devastating full-charged rock ("Sunshine Tonight"), goofy fun (""ChipperCherryDayLilly" and "City Smasher"), to the songwriters' tour-de-force ("With You" and "Super Tuesday"), The Shazam demonstrate a full command of the elements which make power-pop the most exciting rock genre available. Where other bands tend to write from a one-dimensional perspective, Rotenberry embraces all that is pop and shamelessly makes it his own, taking cues from Cheap Trick, The Move, Brian Wilson and others from pop's elite. Not to be missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful pop, November 15, 2000

Scott Waldon "middle-aged indie rock guy" (benicia, ca United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Godspeed the Shazam (Audio CD)

This cd is a step up from their self-titled debut(and that was pretty good). Much more guitars on this one and thats a good thing. Reminds me of the Who in parts, maybe some Cheap Trick too. While loud and proud this disc never loses touch with the melodies, and choruses. It lags a bit in the end, but the first eight songs are to die for. A must buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pop Rock Classic!, March 1, 2002

D. Sippel "Rocker" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Godspeed the Shazam (Audio CD)

This is one of the top five releases of the last decade. If you like early Cheap Trick, especially Heaven Tonight, you will love this. All twelve tracks rock! Super Tuesday, Calling Sydney, RU Receiving, etc, etc. I do not exaggerate. This is one of those special records. Even the great Shazam will have a hard time beating this one. This is modern power pop at its absolute finest.
