5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece, August 26, 2002

This is the best album from the best ever Australian band. It is their 'Back in Black', their 'Rum Sodomy & the Lash', & their 'Joshua Tree', it is their difinitive, classic album. If you have never heard a WPA album before, this is the one to start with. (unless you want to go straight for their best of, 'Trophy Night') This album will uplift you, and make you cry. Make you laugh and make you dance. Make you wish you were born in Melbourne. You will not be disapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars The weddoes are dearly missed. Chonk on!, July 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Roaring Days (Audio CD)

Lawlor's angry punk bass. Do not accept any imitation. Wally's incongruous squeezebox Steele's plaintive 'alternate' voice Marcus' drumming. Subtle when needed, stonking when called for. Mick's songs. And the voice. Pre-30s mellow, spitting fire.

Roaring Days defines the best line-up of the best Australian band, both in the studio and live. What Nirvana would have sounded like had Kurt been brought up on 70s Collingwood Carlton instead of 80s bad hair.

RIP Weddoes and thanks for the many memories. Chonk on.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic band at its prime, delivering top-notch songs, May 22, 1999

This review is from: Roaring Days (Audio CD)

I bought this album as an LP many years ago after seeing WPA live at Club Soda in Montreal, Canada, and being mightily impressed. The album takes its sensability from the Clash and works it into an Aussie context. Each song is an original, featuring storytelling that strikes home. And they've aged well, at that. These guys are true song-smiths, and they pack a wallop in the studio, as well as on stage.
