Review
God Lives Underwater create hard-wired rock that works ... by writing bombastic yet catchy futurist manifestos, and then constructing trippy sludgescapes around them.... It's good, weird fun. -- Entertainment Weekly

I first heard about GLU a couple of years ago when this album came out. The first time I heard it I was astounded. The music is a perfectly blended combination of Depeche Mode on 'roids, electronic beats and noises, and industrial guitar riffing. The Intro builds up and segues into "Rearranged," a powerful anthem that turns up the intensity. "The Rush is Loud" amd "Dress Rehearsal For Reproduction" follow in much the same vein as "Rearranged" with loud, powerful choruses. "Medicated to the One I Love" is a little too long, but it works for the first 5 minutes and the last 3 minutes. This album will appeal to fans of guitar-based rock and electronic music along the lines of Depeche Mode, KMFDM, Nine Inch Nails, Stabbing Westward, and Gravity Kills. Recommended.

this album shocked me. i've never heard about this band before i found their song on a [Tribute to Depeche Mode] album - and it was the best song on the album (except Smashing Pumpkins of course!!!) whole album is the same. sounds-rarities, electronic and live instruments fusion. vocals are not the best although. last three songs reminded me Depeche Mode melodies and atmosphere but it was MUCH MORE better and non-pop than old mainstreamful DM. progressive electronic/ex-grunge people should buy this.

this CD is definately quality, if not quite as good as empty. the 2 are hard to compare though, life in the so-called space age is almost a different style for them. i definately recommend this CD, its the best cd i've ever heard if i'm buzzing from random things. as for the guy who said "listen to STP or Metallica," you definately won't like this CD if u listen to just one set type of music. but if u have an appreciation for different types and a good taste of what's crap and not then you'll really like this CD, its different, very good. i like the guy's analogy to a swim on a breezy day; i'd agree. like others i'd give it 5 stars except there's a 20 minute segment at the end that's no fun to listen to. the other songs are 5-star quality tho

Reaches brilliance that gives even NIN a run for its money
This album is, for me, the only album on the planet that I've ever heard that gives Nine Inch Nails' "The Fragile" a run for its money. Read more

I really like the use of synthesizers on this CD
This band is another east coast phenomena, apparently. I haven't heard them played here in the west at all. I heard them on an undisclosed east coast Internet radio station. Read more

a favorite for so-called fans
Hands down, their best album. I was shocked when I saw as many negative and mediocre reviews as there are for this so I had to write my own. Read more

Very Underrated
Somehow this band has managed to get lumped with a lot of post Nine Inch Nails industrial-rock bands, but I don't think this band, at least on this album, is similar to bands like... Read more

ahead of its time
That's what this is. This record is ahead of its time, for a band from the US that is. The rest of the word has already explored this area of music, most not as good as this... Read more

"Life in the So-Called Space Age"
No, I haven't actually heard this cd (the rating is meaningless), nor am I a fan of God Lives Underwater, however I'd like to take this opportunity to educate you GLU fans. Read more

a few creative and catchy songs (the rest is trash)
GLU has a really unique techno/rock sound that I like. Songs I recommend are tracks 2, 3, and 5. I remember track 3 "from your mouth" playing on the radio a few years back, but... Read more
