5.0 out of 5 stars Jebediah's brilliant debut, March 10, 2005

Fresh, original, exciting...were just some of the adjectives the music press gushed that fateful day in 1997. I can't say so much for my own experience with Jebediah. I was introduced to them (save radio-play of 'Leaving Home) when I bought their self-titled third album a couple of years ago. It was different and I really took a liking to it. Further 'investigation' saw me buying all the rest of their albums and I must say I really became a big fan. Btw they are awesome live if you get the chance.

Slightly Odway still stands as their best album to date. It was bold, experimental yet decidedly pop, brimming with youthful exuberance at every turn. Beginning with the upbeat rock-pop 'Leaving Home', to the fresh (but decidedly young sounding) Benedict, the album really exploded with Puckdefender, Teflon and Military Strongmen. Although in my opinion, Harpoon is the best song in the album.


If you're a fan of true grass roots Aussie indie rock than check out Jebediah. If you like this album, get the others because each has a different sound.

Jebediah are just the best! I hadn't really heard much of them when a friend asked me to go to a concert, but I went along anyway. I'm so glad I did, they have such a unique sound that I love so much, the lead singer has a really weird, but a great voice that really works well with the music. I really love "Leaving Home", "Animal", and... (too many others to mention). If you haven't bought the CD yet then you really have to, NOW! You won't be disappointed!

I first heard Jebediah last summer when I was in Brisbane on vacation (Be it known that I am from the States). I bought the Triple J's Hottest 100 CD with "Leaving Home" on it and fell in love with that song. I then went out and bought the album (via Amazon.com) after I returned home. I have been listening to this album non-stop since I first got it. I can't believe that no one in the States has really heard Jebediah; they're phenomenal. The lead singer has such a great vocal technique. DAMN it is awesome- like everything in Australia! Good onya!
