5.0 out of 5 stars might be better than Purhaps, I suppose...., June 17, 2003

This review is from: MCMLXXXV (Audio CD)

I heard about rufio last year from one of my band mates, he told me to download "still" from the album "purhaps, I suppose...", i thought the bass player was amazing and the drummer was also very good, and thats coming from another punk rock drummer..., my top 3 bands are Rufio, Taking Back Sunday(great romances... is a great song, as are all of theirs.), and Senses fail(great emo band that does not get much airplay or as much respect as it should), well all in all this cd actually has much catchier songs like "White lights", which is my personal favorite, "science Fiction", "Decency", and "Pirate". and also has a great mellower / acoustic start to "Over it" --- "1985" is one of my favorite cds right now and i have over 300 cds that i have boughten and even more that i have downloaded.... i know my music and Rufio is one of the best bands out there... cant wait to see them on the warped tour this year -- they have so much energy -- well heres the song list
1.Countdown - 5/5 -- great beggining track and also gets you in the mood for the rest of the album
2.White Lights -- 5/5 -- the best song on the whole album-- great drum beat in the begginning and then the awesome guitar part comes in , nothing short of amazing...
3.Science Fiction -- 5/5 -- the first song i heard off of "1985", it was on the warped tour 2003 cd, and i immedietely thought it was a classic -- the beggining guitar part lets the energy that rufio produces flow through your speakers...
4.Why Wait -- 41/2 / 5 -- also a very good song with great lyrics...
5.We Exist -- 41/2 / 5 -- yet another amazing song by the all time great Rufio, Rufio, Ru... Fi... Ooohhhh
6.Follow Me -- 5/5 -- starts off slower but then gets great -- the background guitar playing is perfect..
7.Control -- 5/5 -- very good song... plain and simply put.
8.Set it off -- 5/5 -- a little different type of beginning, but still pure rufio music. and the bridge in this song is great.
9.Decency -- 5/5 -- the chorus is awesome instead of how a normal chorus usually is , very loud, this chorus has just the bass and drums with the singer -- it sounds awesome..
10.Pirate -- 5/5 -- one of my favorites, everything sounds perfect and is perfected so greatly..
11.Goodbye -- 41/2 / 5 -- My least favorite -- its only like 1 min 50 sec.. but it still kicks ..
12.Over It -- 5/5 -- great ending song -- starts acoustic and then gets a little louder , i thought "perhaps i suppose was one of my favorite cds, but this cd actually beats it,
If you like this band you should check out coheed and cambria, tacking back sunday, finch, yellowcard, thursday, the starting line, and Senses fail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do Rufio ever stop improving?... Perhaps, I suppose., July 19, 2003

uncle sam (Brighton, England, UK) - See all my reviews

Once again Rufio maintain their high standard of unique pop-punk following their previous release 'Perhaps, I Suppose'. You can never get bored of Rufio. On this CD, '1985', they have created catchy guitar rifts that will stay in your head, such as 'White Lights' and 'Pirate'. Although I feel they dont live up to the standars of 'Above Me' - the opening track on their previous album.
What makes me prefer Rufio to most pop-punk bands is that Scott Sellers provides unique melodic vocals on top of some of the greatest guitar rifts i've heard. Now i'm not too good on the subject of guitars, but they sure are pretty amazing! Also, he doesnt sing in a girlie voice like most pop-punk bands.
If your into 'The All-American Rejects', 'Yellowcard' or 'Millencolin' go out and buy this CD. Perhaps not as good as their previous album, but still worth keeping playing in your CD player for a month or two. Rufio are set to become big, and i'm lucky enough to be going to see them in Brighton in September. More things to come from this young bunch of humourous and talented guys.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little soft but a good album, September 1, 2004

By 

Punk bball "Music man" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MCMLXXXV (Audio CD)

Rufio is one of those bandshardly anyone knows about. No one talks about them, wears shirts, or mentions any of their cds. I picked up 1985 just last week and i was a little surprised but disipointed. Rufio is pop punk, not exactly straight punk. Some songs are a little sowand are just rock close to punk. About 1/2 or less is straight punk like most bands. So if you don't lke softer punk don't get this cd. Even though it is softer sometimes and there is no yelling I still enjoy the album. Not my favorite but still good. Their style of music is signature. They have their own sound like no other band. Scott Sellers(lead singer) reminds me of Jordan from New Found Glory, which means the singer voices is kind of high for this kind of music and it sounds odd but still good music. If you like Yellowcard or NFG then pick up 1985. Songs:
Countdown- 9/10
White Lights- 9/10
Science Fiction- 8.5
Why Wait?- 7/10
We Exist- 6.5/10
Follow Me- 7.5/10
Control- 8.5/10
Set it Off- 7/10
Decency- 7.2/10
Pirate- 7.3/10
Goodbye- 8/10
Over it- 8/10
