4.0 out of 5 stars At last...a mainstream UK band with a mildly punky vibe!, July 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Vibrate You (Audio CD)

King Adora are nothing short of a breath of fresh air. On this little island of ours, we flock to stadia to worship such US imports as Linkin Park, Offspring, Bizkit, etc...Although King Adora are diametrically opposed, at least the source of the vibe is not!

What is it about the pathetically insular music industry on this silly little piece of land called the UK that is so anal apropos any home grown music offering a guitar-based hard edge? In order to break into the charts, every band which aspires to any level of artistic creativity over here has to sound like coldplay (i.e.; adult orientated folk indeee), or it isn't worh investing in! And everyone wonders why our so called top acts can't "crack" the US. It is because they are all...!

King Adora break that mould. "The Law" is a classic post punk jamboree, full of energy and polite anger. Other offerings, bionic being a fine example , pander a little to the expectations of brit... pop, without belying their vibe. Whilst not necessarily ground breaking, King Adora appear to be holding a torch for anything exhibiting the temerity to combine mainstream, creative (as opposed to manufactured) and real. Who else is there around at this level in the UK (Feeder aside) to compare?!

5.0 out of 5 stars HONESTLY - There is not one song on this album I DON'T like!, September 24, 2001

My God - what a wonderfully glittery album! I have never come across an album like Vibrate You, the album changes its style the whole way through, from "Suffocate" (which I think is very Smashing Pumpkins) to "Bionic" (which is very old Manics). No matter how many times you listen to this album you will not get bored, you always notice new things and never get bored of the songs. Lyrically wonderful, "Big Isn't Beautiful" taking on anorexia and doing so tactfully, you've got to really listen to the song to get the idea, generally its about male anorexia and the fact that society pins anorexia on women and that males go through the illness too and King Adora have been praised for this. The best song on the album is "Suffocate" for it's mellow beginnings and storming chorus, the worst song on the album has got to be "We Are Heroes", it has great potential but is a failure because its too repetitive.

This review is from: Vibrate You (Audio CD)

damn this is a fine album this just sounds right and the track lengths are spot on. okay so the lyrics arent going to win any awards but theyre good enough to go along with the rest of the record

the best part of the cd though is (provided youve got the special edition) the pc addons. there are 5 videos to watch, 4 music vids and 1 long band/live compilation. good viewing if you missed any of the previous vids.
