5.0 out of 5 stars BEST CD of 1999!, August 8, 2000

By

Glad to see that Amazon is now carrying the latest release from this Aussie supergroup. Spiderbait take an AMAZING leap forward with this offering - they have melded the best elements of their songwriting ability, and ambitiously added some jam and folk music amdist the most solidly crafted power pop I have ever heard. Practically all of the songs hook you right away - a very 'up' CD, and everyone that has heard it (thanks to me) thinks it is awesome too. This will please fans of post-punk as well as today's alternative crowd, and I think if this CD gets promoted it would explode here in the US.

Simply put, this is one export worth a try - one of the highest rated bands right now in Australia (take it from someone who lived there awhile), however not too 'commercial' like some Aussie exports over the past 10 years (eg Savage Garden, Silverchair). Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best aussie stuff youll hear!, December 14, 2002

Shelley (Smyrna, GA United States) - See all my reviews

I am a huge spiderbait fan, i lived in AUs till i was 16 then we moved to the US and I still love spiderbait, sure no one i know has heard of them but oh man you just have to trust me and check this out its like no other and buy Ivy and the big apples and also please check out The flight of Wally Funk!!
This cd though, Grand Slam takes on a slightly more pop sound and is also just awesome.. Stevie, Glokenpop and Dinnertime are some ones you may hear in aus on the radios and they are excellent.. i cant say anything bad about them!! Also if you like spiderbait check out janets side project Happyland!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tip Top, August 27, 2001

Spiderbait are one of the very few up-beat, guitar-based bands that I never seem to tire of. Grand Slam is their best effort to date and actually contains a fair portion of variety and experimentation, especially for a three-piece. Whether it be listen number 1, or listen number 51, this is a record that will never fail to lift your mood.
