3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Disc, September 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Wide Awake Bored (Audio CD)

I actually came to know this band by hearing one of their songs featured in NHL 2002 for Playstation 2. I'm happy I did, because this is a great CD to listen to and have a good time with. It's not earth-shattering, but the music is fun at times, harder edged at others, and is never boring. My favorite song is Brand New Low (as featured on NHL 2002), but the rest are very listenable. Overall, a very good disc...pick it up if you're looking for something new.

Every so often, there comes along a song that you just can't get enough of. This cd is packed from beginning to end with songs like that. Once you've heard them, you can't shake loose of them. Treble Charger is one of Canada's greatest rock bands, just listen to them, and you'll see why. I highly recommend getting this cd, I promise you won't be disappointed!

This review is from: Wide Awake Bored (Audio CD)

Wide Awake Bored is a monumental disappointment. With it, Treble Charger, a band that used to create great sounding and catchy Canadian alternative with a hint of pop-rock, has totally de-evolved further into the world of pop punk or straight out pop, even going so far as to play up their friendship with Sum-41 (aka the Antichrists). While the music remains catchy due to the raw talent of the band, the lyrics and overall musical depth are nothing. Perhaps the biggest mistake was by establishing Greg Nori as the "true" lead singer when Bill Priddle is far more talented. Perhaps they just wanted to go mainstream, and they've certainly established that.

Check out "Self = Title" or "Maybe It's Me" if you want to see Treble Charger when they did something with the talent they posessed. I am not one that uses the word "sellout", but this album fits the description more than any other I have heard.
