5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, Dreamy Psychedelia, June 6, 2000
By andreas (Seattle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Good God's Urge (Audio CD)
This album is one of the most unique I have ever listened to. With its dreamy, reverb drenched atmosphere and trippy, psychedelic arrangements, this album truly is a cool experience. Starting off with the simple but wonderful opening riff of Porpoise Head, it travels everywhere from ballads (Kimberley Austin), to psychedelia (Thick of it All), to raunchy punk (Dogs Rule the Night), to the dreamy and lazy (Bali Eyes), that makes you feel like you're on a tropical island. Other highlights include Tahitian Moon, Good God's Urge, and Wishing Well, but overall, every song is good. The album is perfect to listen to on a warm, hazy afternoon when you are feeling lazy and sleepy. The production is excellent, and the songs don't take long to absorb. The album is extremely listenable to most people. Anyways, I strongly recommend buying this album, it is sure to be a rewarding purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasing, Consistent And Low-Key, June 3, 2000
By Michael Topper (Pacific Palisades, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Good God's Urge (Audio CD)
After becoming an icon of alternative rock with Jane's Addiction and Lolapalooza, most fans ignored Perry Farrell's followup work with Porno For Pyros. Which is a bit odd, since "Good God's Urge" finds Farrell at his most relaxed and experimental, having a good time cooking up new sounds, composing pleasing melodies and enjoying the Tahitian sun. Although nothing on the album scales the emotionally dramatic heights of the best Janes material, "Good God's Urge" proves that Farrell has honed his songwriting skills to create tasty psych-pop that is weird and catchy at the same time (check out "100 Ways" or "Wishing Well"). The album has a predominantly acoustic tone which might upset some fans, although the old punk-metal Perry pops up on "Dogs Rule The Night", "Tahitian Moon" and the title track. As an overall statement, it is the peak of Porno's short-lived output; the artwork and liner notes are exquisite. As so few musicians these days actually want to create *art* in their music, let's hear it for the few who do.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE WORD< ZEN!!!!, August 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Good God's Urge (Audio CD)
This album is not has hardcore as their first album, but for anyone who likes Jane's Addiction's slow stuff like Jane Says and Pets and such, this is a great album. Each song is its own individual experience, there is a song for everyone. THE album in a whole will leave you with a serene zenful experience. I have even fallen asleep to it because it is so hypnotizing. Even the lyrics are great. Buy this album, its a TRIP in a Cd Case!
