5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing In This World compares to Taxiride, April 30, 2000

By	"kcstrawn" (Long Valley, New Jersey) - See all my reviews

It was certainly well worth the wait to be able to purchase this import. With its cheerful melodies and well writen lyrics its difficult not to sing along.

The remix of "Everywhere You Go", which is not included on the U.S. release, is delightful with its gradual introduction and enhanced instruments. The bonus track of "Helplessly Hoping" is a song where the focus is on the harmony of the vocals which is a surpising change from the rest of the album. The multimedia music videos are a bonus for the U.S. fans who have been anxiously waiting to see them on T.V.

Unlike other albums which grow stale after the first few songs, Taxiride has the ability to sucessfully shift gears from light hearted songs like "Ice Cream" and "Everywhere You Go" to more serious songs such as "Can You Feel", "72 Hour Daze", and "Let Me Die Young" and still maintain your interest.

For a change from the usual stale and sappy music from today's bands, try this CD which has a character of its own.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Australian soft rock band, July 22, 2005

By	Petar Vodogaz "Commissioner" (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This Aussie band hails from the suburbs of Melbourne and is part of the australian music landscape. 'Taxiride' fuses the sound of rock with pop cafe culture that was so popular in the Australian State capital cities in the 80's throughout the 90's. 'Imaginate' is the album's name first released in 1999 with several songs that became instantely noticed and some of these became well known hits for movies and TV Ads. The songs of 'Can You Feel', 'Get Set', 'Everywhere You Go', 'Let Me Die Young' and 'Let's Spend The Night' are the picks of this album and any fan of Australian pop or soft rock music cannot afford to miss this awesome band.
