4.0 out of 5 stars
a bit noisy, but energetic fun, July 5, 1999
By A Customer
Jesus Jones puts gituars & samples together in a way that is a bit like noise at times, but if you like energetic music, this is for you. It is uniquely creative....

4.0 out of 5 stars
Satisfying album and a good starting place for Jesus Jones., May 25, 2000
This review is from: Liquidizer (Audio CD)
I was one of those people instantly hooked by "Right Here, Right Now" and its root album, Doubt, which was this band's second album. I went back to get Liquidizer and found a noisier, colder sound, but still filled with hooks, Mike Edwards' sensible punk/pop vocals, and memorable guitar parts. "Info Freako" is the standout song, a manic stack of distorted chords and shouted vocals that sound positively anthemic, though with a definite Sex Pistols sneer. And "Never Enough" is another of those Jesus Jones songs that sounds like it should've been written long ago, seamless songcraft and rowdy attitude mixed in with the band's above-par lyrics to form a great college-rock track. Doubt was uniformly the stronger album; Liquidizer remains worthy of exploration.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Jonesing to hear this, January 22, 2005
Simply the best Jesus Jones release, as well as one of the better power pop/dance CDs of the previous decade.
Liquidizer outshines its more mainstream followup Doubt and challenging Perverse. Raw and wonderously underproduced, Mike Edwards and the band seem to just flow better.
"Move Mountains" is an absolute kicker. The wah wahs of "What's Going On?" are addictive. Another screamer of a track is "What Would You Know?", gotta love the siren. Catchy samples propel "Info Freako" and the reggae feeling to "Too Much to Learn" makes it a winner.
Liquidizer comes in at a clean 4.5 stars, I'll round up for sentimental reasons.
