5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Introduction, December 27, 2002

This review is from: Slick Shoes (Audio CD)

Slick Shoes. I used some extra Christmas money to pick up this CD, on the advice of several friends that have recommended Slick Shoes to me, and I can say that it is an excellent album.

In fact, I love the album. Good punk is something that you have to search harder for today, and I found it with Slick Shoes. The album impressed me so much that Slick Shoes' other albums are now atop my "to buy" list of CD's. It was a great introduction to the Palmdale, California based band.

The drumming of Joe Nixon impressed me, being a drummer myself it's something that I closely scrutnize. If was fast, excellent, and always seemed to add to each song. The only song that I wasn't all that excited about was "1000 Times Before", mainly because I'm not a big fan of vocal distortion.

The best song on the album in my opinion is "I Knew". It's a brilliant and expansive tune. They're all good to great tunes, "Friday Night", "Alone", "So Much More", and "151" are the highlight tunes on the album.

Musically, the most noticble thing that is lacking is bass. The basswork that I could hear was excellent, but it was not as promement as perhaps it should have been. Other than that, I really can't complain about the overall sound of the album.

The album is rather short, mainly because of the general shortness of punk tracks. With only 12 tracks on the album it is kind of a breeze. However, I think they more than make up for it with the quality of their music. I defenetly recommend this album to fans of punk, and to people with good musical taste. They should enjoy it immensely as I did.

An excellent and fairly diverse punk CD. Five Stars for Slick Shoes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Their Best Cd, March 19, 2003

Tom Servo "Robot" (Satelite of Love) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Slick Shoes (Audio CD)

This is in my oppinion Slick Shoes's best CD to date. It just barely beat Rusty. It won't be long before these guys are discovered. All of my friends (the ones who listen to punk) love this CD. The best tracks are definately 1,3,5,6,7,8,10, and 12 so If you were going to talk singles, I'd say My Ignorance, Friday Night, Alone, and No More Words would be it. If you are thinking about buying this, do so, because at the rate these guys are going, this will soon be dated material, but that is the beauty of punk, there is no such thing as dated material!!! So buy this now or forever hold your piece. Also check out there 2nd Cd Rusty, it is almost as good as this, but not quite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Pop Punk CD!!, June 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Slick Shoes (Audio CD)

This is a really good Slick Shoes cd. If you're a fan of New Found Glory, Blink 182, MxPx, Green Day and Phenix Tx, then you'll probly like this album! If this cd has more tracks on it then 12, it would probly be even better. All 12 songs on here are really good, cept maybe Pass Me By (too much "christmas" in it, and 1000 Times Before (Ryan, the singer's voice is like distorted on this song). Slick Shoes have 4 albums...If you're into fast punk rock, then get their other album Rusty, and if you're into heavy/dark punk rock, then check out Slick Shoes' Burn Out, for those of you that like slower pop punk, then check out Wake Up Screaming. This New self-titled Slick Shoes album sounds more like a faster Wake Up Screaming. Its really good!! I recomend it. - peace
