5.0 out of 5 stars It really grows on you!, November 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Submodalities (Audio CD)

Hey! This is a really awesome CD that gets better every time you listen to it! Very different from their first album. If you're looking for something a little less pop and a little more rock, buy this CD! Here's how I rate the songs: Just Another Phase-I love the guitar! A good song! Bang Bang Boom- a good song but I'm sick of it already. California- An awesome some you can really rock to! Always in my Heart- a really sweet ballad that still actually uses drums Typical-I really like the lyrics and it has good guitars! Walking Behind- Has a good beat-I like the keyboards in this song! Anti-freeze and Aeroplanes- Has really good lyrics but the song is kinda boring. I don't want you to want me-Another good song to rock to! Life on Mars-kinda catchy but it gets boring Who Do You Love- I think this is a really good slow song--one of my favourites on the album Call the Doctor- A good bouncy pop song Spy- Probably the best song on the album!!! Hidden Tracks: Destiny- Very cool but it goes on for a little too long! The Sound Effects song (as I like to call it) Kinda weird but catchy! Overall, the best CD I've heard in a long time!

5.0 out of 5 stars The ULTIMATE alterna-pop album!!, June 18, 2002

By 

Tom "Tom" (Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Submodalities (Audio CD)

It doesn't get any better than "Submodalities". Period. This is my absolute favorite CD, hands down. If you remember the Moffatts from their "Chapter 1" teen-pop days, be ready for a major surprise! The odd title of this album, according to the guys, means "a perceptible change in image", and no other title could be more appropriate. At the time they recorded this CD, Scott Moffatt was 18, and his three brothers were 17, but you never could have guessed by listening to this masterpiece. Their talent far outreaches their age.

There isn't a single track on this disc that I ever skip over. The Moffatts' style is so remarkably diverse -- from the Oasis-flavored "Just Another Phase", to the Blink-182 caliber punk-pop of "California", to the trippy psychedelia of "Life On Mars", to the heartfelt power balladry of "Who Do You Love". And the awesome final track, "Spy", almost defies categorization ... Radiohead meets Queen, perhaps? And that's not even mentioning my personal favorites, "Typical" (reminiscent of something Stroke 9 or Matchbox Twenty might write), "Walking Behind" (which might be what you get if you toss a Train song and a Dave Matthews Band song into a blender and hit frappe), and "Bang Bang Boom" (probably the most commercial of the bunch, but still super-catchy)! Are you beginning to see that I simply can't say enough good things about this album?!?

The only bad thing about this album is that it's finished playing long before you want it to be. The boys wrote 90% of the material, they played all the instruments themselves, and they all took part in lead vocal duties, giving an extra dimension of variety to your listening pleasure (and what a pleasure it is). It's a deplorable shame that this disc wasn't released in the United States ... if it had been, it would have gotten a phenomenal response. If you love true alt-rock music, I urge you to BUY THIS ALBUM! It will restore your faith that teenagers can create something other than sugary, commercialized, teenybopper pop. Trust me, folks ... do yourself a favor and hit "add to cart". You'll thank me later.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing CD!, November 15, 2000

Ok, you know how sometimes, an artist will say that their next album will be more mature, and it never is? Well, that is the complete opposite for the Moffatts. Although their last album was a pop album, Submodalities is a genuine rock CD. Some of the songs, such as Bang Bang Boom and Typical have the commercial pop feel that we're used to, they also have a rock edge that makes the album well worth a listen.
