4.0 out of 5 stars Some of his best, but overall a little uneven, November 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Making Love (Audio CD)

There is some great stuff on here. First off, people who like atom will love this (especially the atom and his rockage songs they sound so great), and the people who hate him will continue to hate him (but they won't be able to resist the above mentioned Rockage songs). This album contains some of his best song writing, but we see why a few of the songs were unreleased. This CD overall I like better than "A Society of People Named Elihu" but just barely... Recommended to all fans, and for newcomers this is the best place to start.

This review is from: Making Love (Audio CD)

When i was a first year student at Foothill College, i met a guy named Tim Ellsworth, and he convinced me to go to Radio Free Records in San Jose, CA to see a local punk show, and i had no idea what was in store for me. When a geeky, chubby guy (Atom)came on stage with a guitar and a box (the Package, which i couldn't see over the crowd), i knew that i was in for something interesting. The show was one of the most entertaining live shows i have ever seen, complete with crowd participation. I ended up picking up this LP, which is actually a collection of various EPs and Atom and His Package rarities.

Sure, Atom's voice is high-pitched and annoying, but that's part of the humor. Also, i love that the whole album is programmed on a synthesizer.

Basically, this album is one of the funniest albums i own, and it is like nothing else i own. The concepts for the songs are hilarious, with "Hats Off to Halford" as an ode to homosexual metalheads, "Pumping Iron For Enya" where Atom goes to the gym to impress Enya, and "What WE Do on Christmas" where Atom reveals a Jewish plot to take over the world. This album is weird, cheesy, but catchy as hell and unique. Welcome to Atom's world. This one's for the geek in all of us, or for those who just like to laugh at them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Go metric with Atom., September 2, 1999

Oh Atom and the Package, I do adore. Atom played at Bard and did black death metal screams even though he was ill and short on lozenges.
