4.0 out of 5 stars Very origional sounding rock band, July 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Please Believe It (Audio CD)

I read about this band in A&P magazine, and in the Law of Inertia mag, so I decided to try them out. Boy was I glad I did! The best I can describe this album is that it sounds like a straight up riff based rock band with tons of Black Sabbath influences. I hear Black Sabbath all over this record. This isn't your basic boring verse-chorus-verse-chorus song structures. The whold cd is just awesome! The only things I don't like about this album is that 1) sometimes it sounds like the guitars are pushed ahead in the mix above the drums and bass and 2) the singer needs to let loose. Some parts he is just too whispery quiet and passive sounding.

Other than that the record is fantastic!

4.0 out of 5 stars Rock and Roll, June 22, 2003

This is the first CD I have ever heard by this band that I have been hearing about everywhere. Boy was it worth the money. The guitar is constantly interweaving with the vocals and a good old rock and roll rhythm section that reminds me of the 70's-in a very good way. The singing is the only thing that detracts from this album for me, it seems somewhat monotonous and quiet at times as far as the mix goes, leaving me wondering sometimes whether I am listening to one long song or several similarly styled tracks. But if you are the type of person who likes to go to shows and hear something very unlike what is on the radio-this is the CD for you!

3.0 out of 5 stars Sort of underwhelmed, July 9, 2003

After hearing a track on the Magnet sampler, I decided to give these guys a try. I tried to like this but it just came up short.
Never Ending Cycle is a good song in a Pinback do a shoegaze metal type thing. However this album just is too monochromatic to draw me back with any consistency. I'll get back to these guys later, I suppose. Nice effort but that's just about it. Maybe this will go somewhere just not yet. A strong B plus effort.
