Powderfinger's Debut. They were trying to rock out of the park, but the album can be a mess. Still, that's not such a bad thing, why can't rock be complex as well?

So they lambast their way through a thirteen track set of predominantly heavy grunge and a few acoustic ditties. Some of the songs fail, such as the laborious first single, 'Tail', but others are a roaring success, like the hypnotic aocustic tune 'Save your skin', while other's just plain rock (Solution).

The surprise is how many good songs there are, heavy music wasn't supposed to be this melodic (blanket) , or carry this much emotional conviction, as 'Father's Pyramid' and 'walking stick' do.

But when other tracks are poorly written, by a band not yet ripe, with a producer they don't really mesh with, this album could only ever see a more average rating, try ***

ok ok i've only heard one Powderfinger song which is called "Grave Concern". It was on a muti-artist disc put out
in 1994 by Kahlua liquor and Juice magazine.This is one of the most powerfully sonic songs i have ever heard.Crank up your speakers and run the cats ,dogs and roaches out the house.It doesnt get too much better than that. Too Bad, that was a great cd by Kahlua and Juice Magazine they should re release it. THATS ALL.
