I've had this album for about a year now...I originally bought it completely by mistake as I thought it was an album by William Orbit (Techno-beatnik who produced and influenced Madonna's immensely popular "Ray of Light" album). I had it in my car in the changer that had all new music, and for the longest time I was wondering what band this was since I really rocked out to it. What a delightful surprise it was to find that Orbit was that disc that I liked the most. It's catchy rythyms, excellent lyrics, and raw guitar-driven melodies made my head bop all over the place. Since I travel so much internationally, I always bring it along on the plane to break up the monotony of travel. An absolute must-have for those who appreciate the higher end of the indie-rock music genre. Clearly the best mistake I've ever made!

This is incredible album that has only circled in the lively alternative rock scene. The album is fueled by a driving bass matched in intensity by the drums, guitar, and vocals. Orbit manages to produce a unique sound that is complemented by the albums diversity and track to track quality. A must have.

WHEW! All these years looking for the band that created that awesome, "shove the medicine down" song. I remember it very well, the year was 1997, I listened to the bicycle song and that was a pretty good song, but when when medicine was playing on the radio, that sucked me right in! That song would be in my mind all day! This album was out when good alternative music was on its last, final scream. Man,I don't know what to call the new stuff, but it just doesn't rock anymore. This is MY alternative rock! I'm gettin this cd!

My best friend recently bought a sports car with a 300 horsepower V8 engine and asked me to recommend an album to play while driving REALLY fast. Without a second thought, I recommended Libido Speedway. I bought the album 5 or 6 years ago, and it remains a favorite. The music is catchy, aggressive, and great to listen to - especially on the road. The guitar is crunchy, and there's something very appealing to me about their basslines. It's disappointing that a band that could rock so hard never quite broke through, but in Libido Speedway they left behind a gem of an album. My favorite tracks are the opener - Yeah - and #8 - Noctournal Overdrive. Those two stand out, but every song on here is worth listening to. None of them disappoint. Also, if you can find them, I would recommend the Orbit single "I Wanna Make You", and the La Mano e.p.

What a surprisingly great CD, from a not too well known band. These guys really rocked out on this album, however I have heard some of their new stuff which is not even close to the greatness of this CD. Every song on this CD really rocks, if you are down with alternative, and love to rock out, definetly check out Libido Speedway.

This album will leave you breathless, if you are into guitar effects and stripped down rock. It has got a lot of soul to it. Lyrically geniune and very hard driven, this is a must-have-album for anyone who loves to rock.(Highlight tracks: Medicine, Amp, Rockets, and Bicycle)

I saw this CD in Target one day and it was super cheap. I had never heard of the band or anything. I put it in my car CD player and it did not come out for over a month. It is hard to describe my amazement at how great this album was. It starts out fast and just keeps blaring. However, the lyrics and musicianship is amazing as well. Moreover, if you keep listening after the final track, there is a little bonus diddy that is impossible to get out of your head. I know that this band is no longer together, but I have bought their other CDs through the internet and they are great recordings as well. I don't for mentioning specific song title here, because all of the songs are equally great! If you find this CD some place, buy it! You will not regret it.

I saw these guys in Portland, OR, opening for L7. I can't find words for how awesome they were. This is one of my all time favorite albums, which I revisit again & again. Every song has it's own appeal, but Nocturnal Autodrive is my favorite.

This is a great cd...great vocals..bass...guitar...drums...lyrics...everything! You will love it...

This is an incredible cd.....Really uplifting...I love everything about it...I want to hear more from this band!
