4.0 out of 5 stars Another Strong Offering From A Band At Their Peak, August 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Vulture Street (Audio CD)

Forget their PR spin about taking a new direction with their music - if you fall for "our last record wasn't quite what we wanted but we're really happy with this one."

This is quintessential Powderfinger, and exactly what we've come to expect from this excellent band. Melodic medium-weight guitar based rock with a few nice balads and the occasional political statement thrown in for good measure. The production is high quality which serves their material and musicianship well. You'd be hard pressed to find another band of their quality with such consistency - their last three albums haven't had a weak moment.

A smart thing they've done is limit the CD to 11 songs, all of which are good. Too often the stuff at the end of a 15 track CD bring the whole thing down a peg.

Now, if they really had tried taking a new direction - and succeeded in doing so - this might have received 5 stars. I'll just have to settle for successful familiarity instead.

I don't remember why I bought this album in the first place, but this morning I loaded it up on my computer and started listening. It's a GREAT record. It's a straight up rock record: a couple of crunchy rock guitars, bass drums, and a tenor singer. You can get that anywhere. But it's the songwriting that makes this record stand out. Powderfinger has come up with some very catchy pop songs to suport their classic rock sound. If you're looking for something that has that radio-rock feel of the 70's but with a modern, today kind of sound, you should buy this record. Yes, it's six years old. I think I'll buy a new one from them too.

i have been a powderfinger fan for 5 years and cannot understand why they have not had hits in britain, maybe they are like a good wine rather than a can of warm fosters! brilliant last 3 albums, more more more!
