5.0 out of 5 stars
SR-71 should be a smash in America., April 12, 2005
This review is from: Here We Go Again (+2 Bonus Tracks) (Audio CD)
You can tell the state of music in the US is at an all time low when an incredible CD like HERE WE GO AGAIN by SR-71 is not available at stores here in the States. This is the best album I have heard in a long time and I think anyone who has the chance to hear it will agree. SR-71 wrote the song 1985 that was made popular by Bowling For Soup and every song on the CD is even better than that song. Axl Rose would be a sure hit and the cover of Peter Gabriel's IN YOUR EYES comes to life and really rocks. The music industry continues to shove rap and other no talent acts down our throats and ignores great bands like SR-71 who should be heard. People in Japan and Europe are lucky that they can easily obtain these great AMERICAN bands. I sure wish everyone else could. Go to SR-71's web site and order this CD and you will not be sorry. It's a little pricey for a single disc but it is well worth it and they have fast delivery.

WOW, February 23, 2005
This review is from: Here We Go Again (+2 Bonus Tracks) (Audio CD)
I'm not overexaggerating the five-star rating. This album is genuinely great - pretty much every track is highly enjoyable. SR-71 should bring this to the U.S. if they have any sense. 'Axl Rose' would be a sure hit, as well as 'Mosquito' and the title track. This is a great album. However, it's cheaper at their site, and they have great shipping. Buy it already!

Hometown Boys, June 25, 2004
This review is from: Here We Go Again (+2 Bonus Tracks) (Audio CD)
Admittedly, I'm a big SR-71 fan. They're my local, Baltimore boys and I've seen them in concert several times. As far as their music goes, I LOVED 'Now You See Inside' but wasn't incredibly bowled over by 'Tomorrow' (though it had its good points IE: She Was Dead, Lucky.) Having seen them live though, I could forgive one pretty crap album and when I heard the live performances of Axl Rose, All American, Here We Go Again, and 1895... as well as In Your Eyes... I just kept thinking.
"Wow, even if all the other songs on the album are complete crap... five good ones is worth the money I'd pay for the CD."
So I bought it, and I'm not disappointed at all.
I absolutely LOVE the remake of 'In Your Eyes'. In concert it's less than polished and always seemed sort of impromptu and disorderly... but they've ironed all that out for the CD and come up with a FANTASTIC rendition of an old favorite.
There are fun songs like 'Mosquito' and '1985'... and for the real rockers out there there's 'Blood and Bourbon' with a heavy base line and ear-blowing tempo.
All in all... the only thing that I don't like about this album is the fact that I had to send all the way to Japan to get a copy.
Not sure if Mitch Allen's solo shot is going to make it... but, for his sake, I hope it does.
I look forward to hearing the American release.
A.
