4.0 out of 5 stars Sacred Cow has more than just a one hit wonder..., August 9, 2001

I'll be honest, I bought the CD for the song "Whoever You Are"...based on that television commercial. I was pleasantly surprised that the rest of the CD, while different than that song, pretty much rocked. This is a CD you can put in, and listen from beginning to end, straight through. There are not too many that can get away with that, so this one is definitely a keeper.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nerd-Funk on a par with Cake or Soul Coughing., September 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sacred Cow (Audio CD)

I first heard Geggy Tah as the opening act for Rusted Root several years back, and they were one of the best openers I've ever seen. I got this album the day afterward. Several weeks later they came back and played a full show, which was equally entertaining. Their energy and humor live doesn't really come across on the cd, but it's still a very enjoyable album. Apart from the perfect pop of "Whoever You Are," standouts include the room-cleaning anthem "Lotta Stuff," the melodic funk trips "Don't Close the Door" and "Las Vegas with the Lights Out" and "Gina" one of the finest ballads ever written about a dog (she's on the cover.) Several of the songs are rather monotonous, but they generally have a good vibe. Also the album notes are very clever. This is not a classic album by any means, but it was a neglected solid piece of work from the mid-nineties.

Ok... one star? I'm sorry, this is BY FAR a 5 star album, it's been one of my top ten favorite albums since I bought it back when it first came out several years ago. Yes they had a hit song, which is a fun song, but all the other songs are so incredibly intelligent and diverse, if you're looking for simple stupid music (like the other guy who reviewed it), you're going to be challenged. Beautiful songs for all different moods, very good instrumentation (Tom of the band is also a very very good pianist), and VERY intelligent lyrics. Check it out if you want, but don't be turned off because some guy gave it one star, it's much better than that.
