5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic CD! Amazing live as well..., August 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Kontiki (Audio CD)

I bought this CD. I listened to this CD. I listened to it again. And again. I saw them live 3 times. This band can dish it out live like none I've ever seen. THE BEST LIVE BAND EVER. Period. The CD is absolutely amazing and anyone who likes The Who, The Kinks, The Beatles, Elvis Costello and the Attractions, Squeeze, GBV, and The Byrds absolutely needs to own this. I can't say enough about it. Even my daughter who's 15 likes this! And the live show is like The Who and The Attractions and The Kinks all rolled into one!! Very powerful stuff. I'm glad this band exisits. With all the c**p out there, its wonderful to see that these 4 guys still care about melody and quality songwriting.

5.0 out of 5 stars John Lennon is alive, I heard him on Kontiki, March 17, 2000

The best impression of the Beatles since, well the Beatles. This album sounds very much like a live record, and includes a host of great songs. Church of Wilson sounds like the Beatles crossed with Nirvana, and Aurora Bori Alice as good as its gets. For everyone that has made they way through all the Beatles LP's, this is there new one, in the form of Cotton Mather. This must go down as one of the best albums of the last ten years. It's not as forward as OK Computer, Morning Glory or any Verve record, but its sweeter than them all put together. A great album, 5 and a bit out of 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars Is Not Enough!!!, July 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Kontiki (Audio CD)

I haven't been this impressed by a new band for 20 years. The Beatle comparisons are obvious but rather irrelevant-the album stands by itself. What makes this work are great performances and absolutely terrific songs! I do have to say that as a Beatles Fan Club member since 1964 this doesn't really sound like just Revolver to me, I hear bits of the White Album and Abbey Road as well. And there are things the Fabs never did. I do wish lyrics would have been enclosed so I could sing along! Give this great album every star you've got. ricard sullivan, lincoln nebraska.
