Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Like Saint Etienne and Deee-Lite before them, Dubstar specialize in capturing the perfect pop moment. The British trio's domestic debut, Goodbye, is highlighted by its celestial lead-off track "Stars." Built out of sultry dance floor beats, shimmering synths, and a heart-melting melody, it serves as the logical bridge between pop classicism and trendy club rhythms. Likewise, songs like the flamenco guitar accented "No More Talk" and the tumbling "Just a Girl She Said" offer euphoric variations on the same formula. Unfortunately, Goodbye also proves that mixing these elements can be a precarious business, as there are several casualties that litter the otherwise impressive collection. Still, it is hard to resist the maudlin, runny mascara sentiments of singer Sarah Blackwood. --Aidin Vaziri

5.0 out of 5 stars No better expression of the high point of a dead order, August 27, 2002
This review is from: Goodbye (Audio CD)
This CD is a seamless final addition to the body of work typified by the Cure's "Disintegration" cross-bred with "There is a light that never goes out" or "Please Please Please let me get what I want" from the Ever-Beloved Smiths. Fine, clean work that brings elements of the last two decades of electronica to the deserved fore while all the while sidestepping the worst excesses of the early 80s adolescent "I'm afraid of Girls" techo-pop as well as the equisitely ethereal, untouchable sounds as typified by the Cocteau twins, among other late contributors. This stands alongside "get lost" by Magnetic Fields as one of the ever-fewer holdouts for the glories of pure GlumPop. Excites and Depresses! Excellent.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Secret, March 26, 2001
By stephen Garry (Manchester England) - See all my reviews
Dubstar are one of the biggest kept secrets in the music business. Goodbye is Dubstars best album and it contains the hit singles, No More Talk, I Will Be Your Girlfriend, Cathedral Park and Stars. This album is worth a listen even if you dont buy it

5.0 out of 5 stars an essential!, September 16, 2000
By "djphoo" (houston, tx usa) - See all my reviews
if you're into club/pop, this album is an essential. those that enjoy petshopboys/neworder/erasure will love this album. beautiful female vocals on top of intelligent synth pop. with the exception of two or three tracks, you will end up loving this entire album. there will be tracks that you will love from the start ( stars, goodbye, not so manic now.. ), others will grow on you ( the view from here, it's clear, can't tell me.. ). there should be no doubts or questions to owning a copy of this.
