3.0 out of 5 stars Save your money, October 2, 2001
This review is from: Rocket (Audio CD)
I'd give this two stars except "standing outside a broken phone booth ..." IS a great song. I was just culling my CD collection & couldn't understand why I hadn't played "rocket" more & so put it on & then remembered why & that would be because "standing outside ... etc." is the ONLY good song on the album & not enough to stop me culling this CD to the used CD store so I can buy something better. This is one of those albums where you hear an awesome tune & rush out & buy the CD thinking it's probably pretty good & it turns out only the one song you heard is any good & the rest of it stinks & you get the distinct suspicion some record label guy saw you & a million other ... coming. Point made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising Effort from a One man Band, June 11, 1998
By Patrick Burnett "penngos" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Rocket (Audio CD)
One of the things that makes me angry about radio stations is limited playlists. Because they're afraid to branch out and play music with which no one is familiar, the only song anyone heard by Primitive Radio Gods (who is one guy, paradoxically), "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in my Hand". Well, one song is not enough.

If you've missed out on the raw anger of "Mother******" and the quizzical pointedness of "Skin Turns Blue", you owe it to yourself to give this album a listen. I count it among my favorite purchases of 1996.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT album, August 16, 2000
By jim rice "Schmakt" (Davidson, NC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Rocket (Audio CD)
This is definitely one of the best albums I own. I hadn't heard "Standing Outside..." when I bought it 4 years ago. I just bought it b/c it was cheap and new. I still listen to it very often and have yet to find anything to take its place. When I want to hear PRG, there just isn't anything else that will do. "Standing..." is a great song, but the rest of the songs on the album are incredible as well. Especially "Rocket" and "Women". The album is a great example of the pseudo-hard rock that was beginning to lose popularity (unfortunately) in the late 90's, and I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't have narrow taste in music.
