5.0 out of 5 stars Joydrop rocks, July 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Viberate (Audio CD)

I first heard "Sometimes Wanna Die" on the radio after a particularily horrible night class and I thought "this is great!" so the next day I went to the radio station's weblog and found out it was Joydrop. I'd never heard of them before and I had to wait a whole month for the CD (I know, so long) but the wait was worth it. Tara Slone has great vocals with a good amount of edge to her voice, but with songs like "Embrace Me" she's absolutely beautiful. Most of the songs deal with some view of human nature, from the sarcastic look at the record companies in "AmericanDream Girl" to the life of stars in "This is not real". It's a great album to listen to to just kick back with, blast in the car or go jogging with. Go pick it up. It's well worth it.

If you like songs with deep lyrics that you can relate to, while still sounding good and with strong female vocals, then I'd highly recommend this CD. At first, I'll admit I wasn't as taken with this particular CD as much as I was with 'Metasexual' but, it ended up growing on me and I think this album, while the lyrics are generally less emotion-focused as their last one, are filled more with more intelligent, sarcastic, and sardonic views on society, and life in general. In my opinion, the best songs on this disc were American Dreamgirl (someone had to say it), This Is Not Real (because it is so true) and Expiry Dates (Ok, I just think this one sounds cool). I love their lyrics and their sound. Their lyrics have kind of a T.S. Eliot style to them, and they just sound.. well what can I say, Tara Slone has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard in my life. Sure maybe some of the other songs on the cd could have been a little bit better, but they still have that amazing sound unique to Joydrop in them, and they'll definitely grow on you. Overall, I'd say its a great CD.

I live in near Detroit, and I'm an avid listener of a Alternative Rock station called 89X in Winsor, Canada. I heard "Sometimes Wanna Die", by Joydrop and thought it was cool. Later on, on a Canadian Music show on the channel, "American DreamGirl" was played (which isn't a single yet, but will be) and I was tottaly blown away. Then, Tara Slone and Thomas Payne (lead singer and guitarist/programmer) from Joydrop were on the channel. They played live music (those 2 songs i mentioned) and they talked about Viberate. Local influence. Then Tara was tottaly cool. She made fun of boybands and cracked jokes about how overplayed Staind was, when "It's Been Awhile" was played. Then she sang and I practically fainted. Her voice was sooo pure. On live radio, she sounded like the CD. That night, they played a totaly free show in Detroit. As unbusy and broke as I was, I went to see them. I had never seen Tara before and she was sooo hot.:) Funny, talented, and beautiful. Stinks that she's famous. Anyway, I coulnd't talk the show was so amazing. So, after all that, I couldn't see any reason not to go out and buy this CD. So I did. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,and 12 were the best ones. Wait that's the whole CD! That's cause it's awesome. American Dreamgirl is still my favorite (written by TARA! It's influence was from some jerk from 89x too). Plus all four members helped wirte the entire Album. That is really cool. Everyone writes. Then they go and play the music like gods. I will be buying their first Album, Metasexual for sure. This CD ranks number 3 on my all-time list (behind Make Yourself- Incubus and Third Eye Blind- Third Eye Blind) So go buy it! Tara rules!
