5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all time favorite CD's..., August 7, 2005

This review is from: Hotwired (Audio CD)

I first heard "Divine Thing" on an alternative radio station back in 1992, right then and there I decided to go get this tape, since then I have purchased it on CD and I still enjoy it to this day. Most of the songs are great and very catchy, one might get caught bobbing their head in the car while listening to these tunes.

Most of the songs are more upbeat with lots of cool guitars and decent female background singers who add their own flavor to it, plus there are neat sound effects added some of which are from the "Star Trek" show. There are some slower songs that are good as well, Forever Yesterday is a good song except I don't really care for the first 30 seconds of the intro, there are sound effects that just don't seem to fit but after that it begins with a nice string arrangement which is sounds really pretty. Absolute Heaven is another good song that is on the slower side. My favorite song on the CD is Dream On (Solid Gone), just a fun song. Other favorites of mine include Divine Thing, Getting Down, Pleasure, Running Wild, and Sweet Layabout which is a really fun song.

All in all this is a great CD, one of which I would get an additional copy of it in case something should happen to the one I have, there are only 10 or so CD's in my collection I can say that about. Highly recommended for those who like early 90's alternative music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Make a special rock party with this album - YEAH !!!, September 18, 2000

The music of this album has a special atmosphere; it also produces complete new sounds compared with the previous works of the band. It's so nice to enjoy it if one can appreciate the quality of the arrangements and also the recording result : they're a mix of so many noises ranging not only from the different instruments effects but also from special effects directly coming from the 60's version of the Star Trek serials! The songs are object of my passion for the Soup Dragons music. Sophisticated rock it is, with a spice of soul music. Do you rock a la Soup Dragons ?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff, February 26, 2000

The reviewer was quite rough. Not every song on this CD is great, but it has some of the most rockinest music I have ever heard for the most part, especially the first two tracks.
