Editorial Reviews

LA Times, February 2001

3 out of 4 stars. Earnest without seeming highhanded, high-minded but not cynical, the Tories let guitars cut a wide swath for their seamless harmonies.

4.0 out of 5 stars ... like if Jellyfish were a lot less clever ..., April 22, 2002

Upside of Down is a solid pop release which is thoroughly enjoyable in it's own right. Why people feel the need to compare it to Jellyfish is beyond me. I have not experienced The Tories' first release (Wonderful Life, which I am told it is considerably better), but this album seems quite increadibly bland when contrasted to the magnificent Spilt Milk. So - Jellyfish lovers beware: this may not be the album you've been craving! If you are a fan of good pop generally, then Upside of Down is no dud. The guitars are rich and the vocal harmonies are impressive, but in no way are they as complex, intelligent or quite as beautiful as anything from the Sturmer/Manning catalogue. Perhaps you shoud try The Sun Sawed In 1/2 'Fizzy Lift' if this album leaves you a little bit cold.

5.0 out of 5 stars saw the band, loved the CD, February 26, 2001

After seeing the band perform in Sacramento last weekend, I bought the CD. I really enjoyed their performance, and I love the CD too. (Now I just have to go find their first one too!)

I find the music on this CD to be really enjoyable. There is a range of sounds from fun and pop-y (the Jesse theme song) to mellow songs, with some harder, more aggressive sound thrown in there too.

It's hard to describe what they sound like, but both my husband and I really enjoy their music. He's into much harder music (Tool, Slipknot) than I am (80s & alternative) - so maybe that will help you decide if you'll like them too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Rock Heaven, February 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Upside of Down (Audio CD)

The Tories hit it right on again with their second release. Every bit as tight musically as 'Wonderful Life', yet with a more mature tone and even smarter lyrics. If these guys don't hit a home run with this cd and break through in a big way, I'll be very surprised. Buy it. Then play it at 11. See them live. And all of your rock fantasies will come true.
