5.0 out of 5 stars Rock and Roll the way it was meant to be..., May 26, 2004

This review is from: Living in Blue (Audio CD)

I've been following The Blackouts for about two years now, starting with their first album "Everyday is a Sunday Evening." That CD kept me humming and singing to myself, frequently while on public transportation. When I heard they had a new album out I wondered how they could top their first... but they did. This is one of the best rock albums I have EVER heard. Not just amongst their contemporaries but going back into the early days of rock and through the hay-days of punk and beyond. Many people say "The Blackouts sound like ARTIST X only different." But the TRUE key to the timelessness of their sound is that they DON'T sound like any one artist or band, but it is clear they know their roots and have been influenced by, dare I say, HUNDREDS of past and present rockers.

You'll hear that this album sounds like The Strokes or The White Stripes... but The Blackouts are everything those bands aren't and it shines through like a 1000-watt floodlight on "Living In Blue." If your collection is missing this album you may be missing one of the greatest ever. And it won't be a secret much longer...

5.0 out of 5 stars Too good. Hard to believe they are a garage band., May 26, 2004

From the 1st song, this album is new, different, and bound to be huge. I first heard them on the television show 'One Tree Hill' and enjoyed it everytime I play it. I tend to over play my new music, but I can't get enough of these guys. I was lucky enough to hear them live in Chicago and they rocked the house. They will be big, I am certain of this.

Buy it! You won't regret it. If you like the other bands mentioned in the other reviews, buy this disc.

Good stuff...I found out about these guys trhough "One Tree Hill" and I've been rocking this disc ever since. Sounds like the Strokes only a lot tougher.
