4.0 out of 5 stars Where It All Began..., March 9, 2003
By Andy (a.k.a. Zack) (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Galactic Cowboys (Audio CD)
The Galactic Cowboys were probably one of the most underrated bands in the metal/rock genre... probably because they were a little too hard to simply throw into a box. The best way I can describe their sound to someone who hasn't heard it is to say that they've managed to combine some of the crunch of Metallica and Pantera, with the hooks and harmony vocals of The Beatles, a touch of the lushness of Pink Floyd (here and there), and a subtle dashing of Monty Pythonesque humor.

Yes, that is possible - though I must admit, it's an acquired taste.

I like this album - but I think "Space In Your Face" is a little better. Worth having though - It's the perfect example of a band that was doing something different, and not enough people got it. Shame really. They're great writers, and very nice guys. They will be missed greatly...

5.0 out of 5 stars I NEED MORE STARS, April 3, 1999
By Brad Farha (West Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Galactic Cowboys (Audio CD)
I have been a rock music addict since I roamed the womb and have never heard a debut of this magnitude! The label (Geffen) dropped the ball with this group and instead spent their efforts on Nirvana (Nevermind) and we know what happened there. This band proves to be all that 10 Nirvanas could never be - musically, lyrically, vocally and creatively the very best in all of rock. If you want a bargain buy, this is a no-brainer. Check this band in concert if you get half a chance! - Brad Farha

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best debut albums EVER, September 23, 1998
By Edison Carter "mxhdrm" (Livingston, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Galactic Cowboys (Audio CD)
Buy this album Listen to disk in full. Read Lyrics (memos within the booklet). Laugh your ass off. Feel the Rage! Dream along with these 27th Century realtors. Smell the harmonies! Hear the riffs! PUMP UP THE SPACE SUIT! and speak to me about the friday school cafeteria specials.
