5.0 out of 5 stars i'd rather give it a 4.5, August 3, 2004

By 

Davy (Athens, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New World Record (Audio CD)

...but all the same, this is the best album by perhaps the most unfairly neglected alternative rock band of the 90s. i've long been a fan of poster children; they were a big band in my highschool circle of friends. this is their most organic album, immediately following two very technological, synthesizer-laden albums, and the pure sound suits them. the best part is, of course, that they let their drummer go. just let him take off, after having to stick very close to the beat and keep it simple for so long, he lays it all out here, loose and funky. sounds wonderful, it does...he even works in a tasteful solo. i can't really think of a band that sounds exactly like the poster children...so i won't try that route. but if you ever find this in the used bin or the bargain bin--this, or _international: rtfm_ or _junior citizen_ for that matter--buy it immediately.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent energetic rock, March 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: New World Record (Audio CD)

Poster Children take the standard elements of rock and pop, then unleash lightning bolts of energy by adding pure RAWK! Seriously, if you're into rock that sounds different because it IS different (challenging time signatures, unorthodox noises, and genuinely intelligent lyrics), the PKids and New World Record are for you. Check out their back catalogue for more great stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars i keep coming back to this one, November 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: New World Record (Audio CD)

I love all the Poster Kids records, but New World Record is the one I keep coming back to over and over. The album just has the best hooks, and guitar playing.
