Pop the way it should be made September 14, 2005
Format:Audio CD
Gee, what a fantastic album! I've had this gem for something like two years now and I never get tired of it.

The Sounds may have a strong Blondie influence, but there's also some Depeche Mode around (the keyboards on songs like Rock n' Roll and Mine for Life) and some Ramones and pretty obvious punk stuff.

This is a very uplifting record, and I don't mean it's just happy and danceable, but the lyrics are uplifting too in a very misfit way.

If you love your pop to have some strength to it and a very heavy 80s influence, then think no more and buy this record just because you will be happy to do so.

I've seen them live at the Hard Rock Cafe in Mexico City and they blew me away. Awesome band! And their new material kicks major butt too.

When I was growing up, I was hooked on Blondie. Debbie Harry was hot and brash. She was fun to watch and it was great to hear her sing. Now we've got the Sounds. A Blondie look-alike you might think but you are wrong. This band has got something that is missing from a lot of rock artists these days. They are doing their own thing and not giving a crap about what anyone else thinks. All the songs are loud, fun to listen to, sometimes cheesy and packed with a lethal punk punch. The jewel on this album is Living In America. Lead singer Maja Ivarsson sings "We're not living in America but we're not sorry. We don't care bout the world today, we're not sorry for you". It's smart and packs a great anthem. A lot of the songs are fun and well done. It makes me pine for the 80's so much on this record. And I feel that this could bring about a new movement in music for the next generation. The only gripe some people might have with this record is that a lot of the songs sound the same. I would prefer to give this record 4 1/2 just because of that notion and also "Reggie" seems to be the only song on the record I don't care for. (Ivarsson goes a little overboard on the wailing) But you know what folks, doesn't every rock band these days?

On this disc The Sounds prove themselves to be the greatest of the alternative movement. Every one of these 12 tracks is guaranteened to have you singing and dancing along. Starting with the catchy "Seven days a week," the disc really hits it's explosive stride with "Living in America" an anthem of epic proportions, the fun doesn't stop there, The Sounds keep it up with " Like a Lady","Rock n'Roll", and "Fire" to name a few favorites. The snappy yet creative lyrics are bound to stay with you days later.

When All the FUN started.
I saw this band in concert this past June, and LOVED them. They are not a GREAT
band. Yet, they have a SOUND that takes me back to my favorite era of ROCK, the 1980's. Read more

You'll be tapping toes or fingers to this. I bought "Dying to Say This To You" and couldn't stop playing it, so decided I wanted more of the Sounds and I picked up "Living in... Read more

Great stuff
Simply splendid new-wave influenced pop-rock. Very very derivative of course but really good nonetheless.

But it's nobody's business what I do or please
I just found out about The Sounds a little over a month ago. Ended up buying Dying To Say This To You purely on a hunch, hoping it be worth a quarter of what I paid (a mere 10... Read more
