5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most satisfying ska records of the mid 90s., September 16, 2004

This review is from: Honey I'm Homely (Audio CD)

There were a ton of ska/punk acts in the mid 90s that never really stood out from the bunch, or provided many memorable records. "Honey I'm Homely" is probably one of the best ska records ever recorded.

Everyone in the band belts out tightly constructed power-pop-ska, that backs the vocals beautifully. Vocals come first on this amazing record, combining the captivating vocals of Elise Rogers and Karina Denike. These two singers harmonize so beautifully, weaving in and out of the rhythm, rocking out extremely addictive choruses.

It's hard to pick a favorite, since the album works so well as a whole. Some of the standout tracks would include "Lost Again," "All Mine," "Elvis & Me," and "Last Laugh". Probably my favorite track here would be "The Truth About Me". It has the most addictive chorus on the album: hey - I love to hear myself talk, I'm my own favorite audience, 'cause I'm the funniest person I know, if you were me I'm sure you'd agree. All the lyrics presented here will make you smile from the pure wittiness of them.

If you are tired of ska/punk bands that all sound the same. Pick up "Honey I'm Homely"; it's a brilliantly refreshing record.

5.0 out of 5 stars Im hooked, January 8, 2000

This review is from: Honey I'm Homely (Audio CD)

I reviewed this CD as a 4 star CD earlier.... but now Ive changed my mind. Its so even, so great. I love practically each and every song, cept Next to you and Stand by perhaps, that are great songs but not in class with the rest of the CD. Without exaggerating: the best album I have ever heard. Seeing from its high quality songs. Love the bass, the guitars, the drums and the vocals.... the intro on Over again is just yummy. One small complain: the refrain on some songs (over again, Lost again) are weaker then the verse... but who cares? The best album I have. And I have a lot of CDs. Wanna give it more then just 5 stars.... recentlt got Lockjaw, and first impression is that it is just as good.... DHC is my fave band, no doubt about that. Speaking of No Doubt, they are nothing compared to DHC. In short: they rule.
