Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The exclamation point is gone from the band's name and so too is much of the dizzy innocence that made this Melbourne quartet's Marvin the Album debut one of 1994's special finds. --Jeff Bateman

4.0 out of 5 stars What's come over her, April 24, 1999

By	cloud13579@aol.com (Mass) - See all my reviews

While still a very good album, I was a little dissapointed that the whimsical care free sound of "Marvin" had been hardened a bit. Ok, alot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some hits for the future, June 16, 2002

By	rgf-br "rgf-br" (Brazil) - See all my reviews

I share with most of the other reviewers the feeling that "Shape" is a great album. "Goodbye goodguy" and "Sit on my hands" are great songs. However, I would like to stress that "Shape" includes some pure pop gems (read "pop" as a praise, not as a criticism), that some future movie or radio show will be able to transform into #1 hits. Before this happens, listen to "Burning girl", "The destroyer", "So mad" and above them all, to "Jungle". Perhaps you are the future director of the moviethat will lead this underrated album to its deserved place!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great progression, June 21, 1999

By	Dabby Cool "dabby" (Durham, NC) - See all my reviews

"Marvin" was a great album, but so is "Shape." Angie gets more involved with the song-writing process, and I think it shows (in a very good way). The sound is still all Frente, but it's a slightly different treat.

...It seems as if Frente! thought that they may not have been taken seriously enough after their charming but breezy Marvin the Album, so they needed to make a point here. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars a fantastic taste of some great aussie talents
Frente is one of australias best bands. They have been on the scene for quite a while. The sound of Angies angelic voices always sends shivers up my spine. Read more
