5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it-- any other words would be redundant, August 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Revolution (Audio CD)

But, I have no problem with redundancy. What can I say? This album is amazing, and a definite blow to the concept of music corporations. After four albums of doin' time for the Man, head SMG guy Chris Randall (one of the top hundred coolest people alive this century) decided to release this, his most recent album, on his own Positron! label. Good thinking, as the total creative control that the lack of corporate fetters allows makes this his best album, as well as one of the best albums this year, and probably even this decade. Standout tracks: all of them, from the crime jazz number "Closer To Me" to the quasi-gospel of "Bring You Down", from the vaguely Stabbing Westwardish (but in a good way) "Got To Be" to the ultra-sexy-smooth "Vibrator." Also, the single, the battle cry "Smash Your Radio!"

While every single SMG album is utterly brilliant, (and, with the exception of the unfortunately dated-sounding Sins of the Flesh, all timeless classics,) there's something about [R]Evolution that makes it rise slightly above the rest, and also makes it a must have for practically any music collection.

Eat that, TVT.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Buffet of Music, September 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Revolution (Audio CD)

If you could pick a CD that is a smorgesboard of tastes, [R]evolution would be it. This disc starts out with an ambiant intro, but by the time the CD is over, you're likely to be jumping around whatever room you're in. There is something to please almost anyone here. "Wrong" and "Got to be" are the, "I'm getting along just fine without you thankyouverymuch." song, while "Transient 1 and 2" are great to mellow out to. "Smash your radio", is a great theme to scream along in your head while your boss goes on about something. And for those of you wishing to get a little something, "Vibrator" or "Bring you Down[take you higher]". This CD has it all. [R]evolution does not sound the same from begining to the end. Chances are that if you aren't keen of the begining, you'll like the end. Just to reiterate, something for everyone. This is an excellent CD to start out on if you're just getting into the band.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best SMG album yet, June 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Revolution (Audio CD)

I started listening to Sister Machine Gun in 1996 and have been a fan ever since. I didn't know what to expect with this album but I was totally surprised when I got it. This is definately the best SMG album yet. SMG albums have always fused various musical styles and [R]evolution is no exception. Definately music for sex and dancing!
