5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, December 20, 1999

By 

Jay Clark (Toledo, OH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Reloaded (Audio CD)

This is a fantastic album. I love all kinds of music but these guys are the best. From rockers like Los Vargos to acoustic rockers like Halloween. This is an album you can listen to over and over and still enjoy like you heard it for the first time. BUY THIS! You will love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One listen and you're hooked!, June 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Reloaded (Audio CD)

This catchy and poppy album only requires that you listen to one song, then you're hooked and you won't be able to get that song out of your head, believe me, I know! Live, they play with so much energy and have fun on stage, causing you to want to jump on stage with them. Buy the CD(s) (this one is the best one they've put out, in my humble opinion) and see them live if at all possible!

3.0 out of 5 stars Much weaker than the debut, punkier and less focused., January 24, 2004

This review is from: Reloaded (Audio CD)

Green Apple Quick Step had an unusually strong batch of songs on its debut, Wonderful Virus, injecting a Hawkwind-like love of science fiction and progressive-rock melodicism into its punk spirit. The result was one of the unsung beauties of '90s alternative rock.

Losing its record deal seems to have hurt the band, because Reloaded is a far weaker record, despite the involvement of Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam) as co-producer. The spritely "Dizzy", which appeared on the soundtrack to The Basketball Diaries, was a deserved radio hit, but "Los Vargos" seems very close to it melodically and only works because of the Ty Willman/Mari Ann Braeden vocal tag team. Braeden does a long-overdue lead vocal on "No Favors", but the song is basic punk nonsense: "I'm burned out on politics/Slimeball you make me sick/Deadhead get over it/I'm already gone"? This time around, there are fewer downright great rock anthems, and the band is most successful on poppier moments like "Dizzy", with its car-cruising chorus, and hidden track "Halloween", which sounds like an intimate acoustic-guitar jam with Braeden and Willman harmonizing quite beautifully.

The first album was better, hands down, thanks to a catchier batch of songs and heightened energy. If by some miracle you discover this band (and it deserves to be heard), Wonderful Virus is the place to start.
