2.0 out of 5 stars Not So Deep Tonight!, January 2, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Release the Grease (Audio CD)

I love Deep Banana Blackout. Their album "Feel The Peel" is easily one of my all-time favorites. I purchased realse the grease expecting the same kind of energetic funk with complex horn lines and funky vocals. While the album has its good moments, the vocals are ocasionally off pitch and the songs lack the complexities and soul of previous albums. and the final big bottom cover is just stupid. maybe they broke up for the better. Sorry guys, but you shoulda stuck to the peel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Happy DBB Fan, July 30, 2002

Any live album that DBB puts out is worth buying and this album is at least as good as the others if not better. I really enjoyed hearing the newer members in the band and the whole thing does well to capture the energy of a DBB show - something's that usually difficult to do with live records.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointed DBB fan, July 3, 2002

I've been following DBB for a few years now. I bought this album after admiring the other live album "ROWDY DOWDY" (which was incredible). But unfortunately "RELEASE THE GREASE" fails to convey the band's tremendous energy onstage. The sound quality is not the best (as is often an issues with live albums) and die-hard fans of Jen's renditions of the earlier songs may be disappointed - this album lacks some of the earlier albums' funky grit. If you want to hear DBB live - SEE A SHOW!!! - or purchase "ROWDY DOWDY"... but pass on this album.
