sing to god, October 28, 2003
This review is from: Sing to God Parts 1 & 2 (Audio CD)
this is the most frightengly amazing album you will hope to hear. Prog Punk Fairground Sally Army Spaz Neo classical Funfest of utter genius...you must buy this album. The Beatles would've killed for the hooks, The Sex Pistols would've killed for the sheer power and production that this baby commands. This is like NOTHING you will have ever heard before...or hear again. Trust Me......Sing to God...GENIUS.

one of the most CHARMING bands I've heard, May 11, 2003
This review is from: Sing to God Parts 1 & 2 (Audio CD)
Yes, charming is just one of many words I would use to describe this band. Previous - all I heard was their amazing samples from their website. The samples alone were so delicious, that I gave in and bought this double disc at the import price. I was not disappointed. Hard to describe their music; sounds to me like the cast of the Rocky Horror Picture Show got together with the Smurfs to jam out and make some music. But thats just my assessment, everyone should judge for themselves. IMO the first disc is the more intense of the 2, only cause the 2nd has some of their more mellow yet beautiful tunes. But there are still many of their ultra-melodic adrenaline-ized tunes on the 2nd disc that seems to dominate the 1st. Truly, a FUN band to listen to that radiates a lust for living! Metal is a dead scene, Hardcore is a dead scene, Indie rock is a dead scene, pick up a Cardiacs album for something truly original and inspiring!

One of the greatest works in rock music, June 3, 2000
This review is from: Sing to God Parts 1 & 2 (Audio CD)
I kid you not. This 2-CD set is the peak of genius that is Cardiacs, the greatest band you've never heard of. Trimmed to a lean, mean, music machine of 4 dazzling musicians on this set- down from a previously larger ensemble of 7, this is a band that references rock music's greatest bands throughout their music, fusing them together to create their own uniquely intoxicating brew. Take equal parts Queen, Abbey Road-era Beatles, Mongoloid-era Devo, Gabriel-era Genesis, and a bit of avant-garde noodlings here and there for measure, and you might begin to describe this CD set. It rocks. It soothes. It's weird. It's danceable. It's Cardiacs. Your CD collection sucks without it.
