5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, December 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Minor Chords & Major Themes (Audio CD)

Wow! Ever since I bought this CD, I can't get it out of my CD player. Highly melodic songs complimented with thoughtful lyrics. You can feel the emotion in songs like "Everything is Wrong" conveyed through Dave Gibbs' impressive vocals. I don't recall hearing a ballad as beautiful as "You'd Better Get Yourself Together Baby" in a long, long time. "The Big Lie" is a power rocker that screams #1 hit, that is, if commercial radio ever got a clue. Combine the beauty of these songs and the quality of the production and you have one damn fine record here.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exceptionally mature recording in its musicality., September 10, 1999

This review is from: Minor Chords & Major Themes (Audio CD)

The Gigolo Aunts have proven that they are most knowledgeable in their handling of sophisticated musical material. This is an album that can be appreciated by people who understand how music is put together.It is economical and mature. It does not waste a sound. It is pure artistry in its melodic, harmonic,timbral contrapuntal and textural content. The singing is suberb in its intonation and its expression of the serious lyrics. A true masterpiece of pop music not often heard today"

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply fantastic, July 29, 1999

This review is from: Minor Chords & Major Themes (Audio CD)

I heard this band play live, opening up for the Counting Crows in Toledo. About 3 or 4 songs into their set, my wife and I decided that we had to have their CD. We were not disappointed! It is great. A week later, they played a small gig in Pittsburgh. We had to see them again. The intimate setting made it even better. They played with such emotion. We got to meet the band afterwards, and their personalities are every bit as great as their music. Every song on this CD is fantastic. Some of my favorites are, The Big Lie, Everyone Can Fly and Super Ultra Wicked Mega Love. They have a good range of types of songs. Some soft and mellow, others heavy and hard-hitting. Everyone great. Buy this CD, you'll love it!
