5.0 out of 5 stars I walked into a show GVSB was opening as they began....., November 3, 2004

....to play 'Learned It'. Never heard of them before, but they stopped me in my tracks. Truly one of the most concussively powerful, rocking, moments in all of my show experience. I managed to close my mouth after another song or two, bought the cd from the tour table, and after all these years, this cd resides in my 'top 50 fave' booklet. I believe this is the best example of their musical vision.

Oh, Quicksand and Helmet were great that night, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good place to start, April 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Venus Luxure #1 Baby (Audio CD)

This was the first album i ever bought by GVSB, having heard only one song by them previously. I had no idea what to expect. I now consider this not only one of the best albums by GVSB, but also one of the best albums I have ever heard. After buying this, I went out and bought three more GVSB albums within a week. Since I didn't have a job at the time, that was a big deal for me. This album has a very dark, mysterious mood. McCloud's vocals combined with the bass-heavy approach and Fleisig's drumming create a sound you won't ever forget. If you have never listened to GVSB before, I recommend you start with this one. If you already have a different GVSB album, this should be the next album you buy

5.0 out of 5 stars Brutal charm at its best, November 12, 2003

This review is from: Venus Luxure #1 Baby (Audio CD)

This might be my favorite GVSB recording... although Cruise Yourself--that's pretty close. This band is good at something that's very hard. They're passionate and mysteriously alluring without once being articulate or especially melodic. This succeeds where many raw garage bands fail by virtue of an upfront brawny distortion-voiced singer and a dancey band that's recorded as if live in some idealized beer-dank opium den. The vibes of this CD remind me of what myth-man Joseph Campbell once noticed, that modern society is too obsessed with meanings while more ancient cultures revered instinct and emotionalism. This is ancient culture stuff. It's groovy music for dumb moods.
