5.0 out of 5 stars Dreamy, Intelligent Songs That Move You, April 5, 2000

I recently re-discovered this gem after several years of having it gather dust on my shelf, and boy am I glad I did. It is a real masterpiece from an under-rated band.

Poi weaves together guitars, drums, violins, flutes, cellos, pianos and more to create an enchanting and driving sound -- one that is never as dischordant as you would expect. Each of the 11 songs is strong on its own, but together they play out like a supremely well-crafted symphony. "Complicated" forces you to get to your feet and dance, while "Pomegranate" is a more mellow exploration of sounds. The lyrics to "God's Gallipoli" are worth memorizing for their power. This is a diverse and challenging album that may not be immediately accessable to all listeners, but I urge you to stick with it. You will be richly rewarded.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most interesting mix of music you will ever hear, October 21, 1998

By A Customer

Poi Dog is the best local(Chicago) band that you will ever hear. If you like Dave Matthews, you will love Poi Dog. Every time I listen to this CD it gets me moving and shaking. They make upbeat songs that make you want to get up and have some fun. Once you listen you will be hooked for life. So all you people that do not have this CD, get off your ass and go buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars unclassifiably great, September 16, 2006

I have very broad music tastes, and I find a bit of every genre in this album, which might be one of the most diverse albums to be classified as 'rock'. The lyrics are especially wonderful. Don't miss "Sandra at Beach" if you're listening to clips before purchasing.
