Editorial Reviews

The release of "Something Fierce" marks the first true Rocktopus band collaboration. Whereas Rocktopus’ debut CD "I Love You! Good Morning!" (released in June, 2002) was primarily Spencer Albee locked away in a recording studio with a multitude of friends (some of whom made their way into Rocktopus), this CD marks the first time the band has written and recorded together in the same room. Recorded in spurts between August 2002 and January, 2003, the writing on Something Fierce is tighter and more mature and shows a road tested band with over 100 shows in 8 months under its belt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rocking Their Way To The Top, April 7, 2003
By 
This review is from: Something Fierce (Audio CD)
As its name implies, this rock quartet led by singer/multi-instrumentalist/ songwriter Spencer Albee, formerly of Rustic Overtonesis a many-tentacled beast. It revels in the pop-art craft of the Brian Wilsons and Harry Nilssons while also bowing at the altar of late-'70s-era power pop, à la Joe Jackson, Cheap Trick, etc. At the same time, its sound is as original as it is compelling. On its second indie release in as many years, the band shines on the title track, a monstrous tune that's gathering steam at commercial alternative stations in its New England base and is primed to break nationwide; the lovely, R&B-flavored ballad "Forevermore," which could have been a collaboration between Marvin Gaye and Paul McCartney circa 1971; and opener "Vacation," a refreshingly light-hearted teen-angst anthem. With no shortage of smarts and talent, Rocktopus richly deserves a chance to step into the big leagues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Power pop at its finest, June 1, 2003
By

This review is from: Something Fierce (Audio CD)
It is very clear that Spencer Albee and the boys know their power pop. All comparisons to other musicians, like Wings, Cheap Trick, Sweet, Badfinger, Andrew Gold, Harry Nilsson, somehow fall short as a way to describe what this band has created: pure synthesis of pop music. This album is a revelation. You will be helpless to resist the killer hooks and melodies. I promise you this...Something Fierce is topped only by their ability to perform live. See them. Love them. Buy the album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something Fierce has Gathered., April 1, 2003
By 
Timmy Cramer (Rockland, Maine United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Something Fierce (Audio CD)
That's Right. Something fierce has gathered and it smells like Rocktopus. Rocktopus's second album "Something Fierce" is just that. The catchy lyrics of "Saturday Night" "25" and "Forevermore" are enough to keep your cd player on repeat for forever. Spencer and the gang are road tested and ready for the top. A CD collection without "Something Fierce" is scarcely a CD collection at all.
