5.0 out of 5 stars Review of this Album., April 7, 2005

This band and album are great if you like quick loud frenetic dancy music. It's got heavy bass lines behind what I think is Fruity Loops, which is kind of funny but they use it really well anyways.

If you like Les Savvy Fav, Le Tigre, Q and Not U, The Plot to Blow Up The Eiffel Tower and bands along those lines you will like this. If you hate those bands, you'll probably hate this. Personally I think it's very awesome cool you have it.

4.0 out of 5 stars To contradict the earlier reviewers..., January 10, 2006

While TAN don't have that supposed same energy as their their earlier works, they finally took the time to actually craft some tunes. You want that spastic energy? See em live. The Allen brothers don't dissapoint. And thinking Ryan's (the lead singer) vox got whinier and higher... it hasn't changed much in ten years... I went to HS with the guy. If anything, it's lowered.

But, great work by TAN!. I'm looking forward to seeing who the new drummer will be now that Mike Durgan has left the band. The replacement for longtime member, Marty Smith (on bass) seems to be really in tune with the high energy/impact show TAN puts on.

3.0 out of 5 stars Thunderbirds Are Tamed down, November 6, 2005

I have to agree with Johnny Panic. Decent album and all, but just compared to the early stuff, it's not as good. Good song writing, but the energy and craziness is just tamed down a lot from TANs earlier efforts. Anyone who has seen them from their early shows up until now I think would have to agree that it is not the same as it was. I'm not saying that bands should be expected to stay the same, if they did they would get boring, but when spastic energy was a big part of what turned you on to a band, it's just not the same when that energy is gone. Worth checking out, but if suggest you start out with "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief"
