5.0 out of 5 stars Energenic !, December 30, 1999

This CD is full of fast-paced electronica songs. I love "Ready To Go" and "Wrapp." As someone mentioned here in another review, it does make you want to shout at the top of your lungs. Many of the songs are in your face and full of attitude. Great for parties or getting the adrenaline going.

5.0 out of 5 stars A staple in any party-cd collection, an unsung classic..., January 9, 1999

It's not bubble gum, thank god, and it's not your normal blend of todays techno-garble. This CD is a fountain of energy and a scream-it-at-the-top-of-your-lungs-while-driving experience, while at the same time somewhat sexy with tracks like "Wrapp" and "Don't You Ever". For those who like "Ready To Go" and "Drop Dead Gorgeous", there's much more to this CD than just those two chart-toppers, so be sure to push play and let it run all the way through, I guarantee you'll hit repeat, more than once.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my personal all time favorite cds, November 6, 2001

Although this band's career has been a brief career, their first album has remained a personal favorite of mine. I remember being blown away by the fusion of rock with dance music when I first saw the video for "Ready to Go". I simply fell in love with the band's music right away. I was rather disappointed in the band's second and final album "Speed Ballads". I thought it was awful. The songs on that album lacked the hooks and techno beats that I fell in love with on their first album. I never heard anything before like what I heard on Republica's self-titled album. I particularly dug the original mix for "Ready to Go". I wish that was released as the single here in the US but unfortunately America remains clueless on techno music. "Drop Dead Gorgeous" is my other personal favorite track off the cd. Saffron's vocals is awesome. She sounds like she is shouting and singing at the same time on every track in a good way. "Out of the Darkness" and "Holly" are other faves of mine. All the songs off this cd are excellent. There isn't a single track on this album I did not like.
