5.0 out of 5 stars They Saved the Best For Last!!!, September 10, 2001

Simply amazing. Before I heard this my only frame of reference was the "I Got a Girl" song which I didn't like much when it was on the radio. Was that the same band?

This album is pure magic! I don't even have the vocabulary to describe its greatness and beauty. I smile just thinking about it. Honestly, I am sitting here writing this with a big old grin on my face. This album has helped me pull through many a dark day and I am sure I will continue to turn to it again and again. Thank You Tripping Daisy!!! It is truly appreciated!

Check out the Polyphonic Spree too. They are quite different but are packed chock full of the same goodness.

It's really a shame that Tripping Daisy's run had to end so tragically,and so soon.I felt that the band hit their full stride with "Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb",and would have continued to put out great albums for years to come.I think I would have to say that this is my favorite Tripping Daisy CD,even better than J.H.L.T.A.B. The best tracks are:community mantra,kids are calling,stella is a planet,this cradle song,and the sudden shift worried him.Perhaps the most touching on the album is "Soothing Jubilee",which was recorded after Wes' passing,and featured Wes' father Don playing the opening part on a Fender Rhodes.This album is truly reccomended to anyone who appreciates good music.Farewell Tripping daisy,best of luck to you all,and thanks for all the great times and memories. P.S.Goodbye Wes,I'm sure we will see you again some day.Plus, don't forget to check out vocalist Tim Delaughter's new band "The Polyphonic Spree"

5.0 out of 5 stars The last hurrah - and a great time, April 12, 2000

This review is from: Tripping Daisy (Audio CD)

The last Tripping Daisy album is a fine example of the band at this point in time; this is almost an extension of the last album, Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb. However, this album is A LOT more experimental. Don't be deterred, though, because the album is superb. The first three songs - Community Mantra, Kids are Calling, and Stella is a Planet are magnificent. Tragiverse is powerful (not merely 'power') pop and Halo Comb is one the best instrumentals I have heard. The upbeat tracks are countered with more dynamic songs like Drama Day Weekend and You First. This album has lots of background noises that wind in and out of the stereo, and they are all mesmerizing. This is the point the band have been working to all along - a supreb final statement from a breathtaking band.
