Editorial Reviews

Dishwalla’s music speaks to people at a very personal level. The band consistently demonstrates a unique ability to write music that elevates the personal to the universal, and magnify the effect with their signature sound—a swirling blend of softly curved melodies and resonating guitars. Opaline was produced by Greg Wattenberg (Five For Fighting) and recorded in Los Angeles. The Santa Barbara-based band made quite the splash a few years back with Pet Your Friends, a provocative mix of pop savvy and soulful rock grind. Fueled by the smash hit single "Counting Blue Cars," the album blazed onto the pop charts and blanketed rock radio, with the video garnering heavy play on MTV and VH1. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Dishwalla CD, May 8, 2005

This was the first Dishwalla CD I got. I fell in love with it. I heard one song on the radio and had to have it. I bought it sight unseen for the rest of the album. I was so thrilled with the entire thing, I went Dishwalla crazy.

There's not one song on this disk I don't like. I love the whole thing. JR doesn't have the normal bass tones in his voice I love, but he more than makes up for it in the words and music. I'm not a huge fan of their first few CDs, but I'm willing to listen now and they are growing on me.

I love it.

Opaline is definitely a classic with Dishwalla fans. The chords are haunting and the lyrics insightful. J.R. Richards' voice is incomparable. I would definitely recommend this CD to anyone with a real appreciation of music. Dishwalla at their best.

Absolutely awesome!! It took me two years to take it out of my player, only to replace it with the live version--"Live From the Flo State". So many subtleties and nuances in the writing and production, yet they execute the performance perfectly. Literaly one of my all time desert island faves.
