5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent disc!, March 28, 1999

By A Customer

We really hate to compare Radio Iodine to anyone, but if you like Garbage the odds are good that you will like Radio Iodine. Like Garbage, Radio Iodine has a strong vocal presence and an interesting sonic landscape. Enough of the comparisons.

Many first efforts fail to distinguish themselves in any way, but this is a very accomplished first full-length album. Some of these songs should have made it big. "Manic Girl" is undeniably catchy. "Never Meant To" makes the best use of pauses for dramatic effect since Wagner. "For You" is sweet, but with a twist. "Things I Do" received some radio play, and invokes exceptional mental images. "Tearing Me Down" is a dramatic ending to a disc full of very honest personal emotions.

Do yourself a favor and listen to all of the musical samples. Then do yourself another favor and remember that the musical samples can only do so much. Chances are that your computer speakers won't provide the same bass in "Things I Do" as your car will. Also, these are complete songs with many great lyrics, their effect does not merely hinge on a great chorus that can captured in 30 seconds (although some of the choruses ARE good).

It is not likely that this disc will suddenly go platinum, but it would be nice. We need more music from the members of Radio Iodine, whether as a group or individually. What if Shirley Manson stopped singing after her first CD with Angelfish?

5.0 out of 5 stars yet another good band from St. Louis, July 8, 2000

By	Jennifer Hiatt (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews

Unfortunately, Radio Iodine has broken up. But their full length cd, Tiny Warnings and the EP which features an additional song called "Sleep" are essentials for any one who enjoys Garbage. The vocals are amazing, the lyrics aren't fluffy, and it's hard enough to be palatable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Radio Iodine, May 20, 2004

I am a huge fan from the home town of Radio Iodine and the record "Tiny Warnings" is amazing from start to finish. Ellen was an incredible frontman (woman) for the band. They gave incredible performances and never disappointed! I was very bummed when they split. I give "Tiny Warnings" 12 stars! Great piece of work. They need to get back together and have another concert!
