Editorial Reviews

About the Artist

North American debut from Australian modern rock trio Sick Puppies. Features the single "All The Same" (aka "Free Hugs" video). The "Free Hugs" video which accompanies "All The Same" chronicles the true life adventures of a man who walks around holding a billboard that reads "Free Hugs," the police who ban his humanitarian crusade, and the petition that earned him back the right to provide hugs to citizens in need.

Dressed Up As Life is a heartfelt collection of exultant rhythms, propulsive beats and choruses that span miles. It's the kind of record that captures the beauty, pain and endless possibilities of LIFE.

5.0 out of 5 stars "It's All the Same"... or is it?, April 12, 2007
Ever since I first saw the Free Hugs video on Youtube, I have been in love with Sick Puppies. On their US debut, Sick Puppies did anything but disappoint me. Surprise me, yes. I was very surprised with how totally SOLID this CD was. Song after song, I found my hand retracting from the skip button. I can honestly listen to the entire CD right through and enjoy every minute of it. However, if you're in it just for the song "All the Same", you're in for a surprise when you hear the rest of the music.

Sick Puppies definitely surprised me with the diversity of sounds they had coming from the CD. Although "All the Same" is a great slow ballad reminiscing of a slight Creed-like sound, much of their music is a bit more raw than I expected. A few songs I almost found myself head banging to, most notably the songs "Cancer" and "Anywhere From Here". For a few seconds when I first heard those two songs, I almost thought I was listening to a completely different band. In the song "Deliverance", they pull off a My Chemical Romance sound, and "The Bottom" almost reminds me a bit of Avenged Sevenfold. "Pitiful" and "A-hole Father" are some of my other personal favorites on the CD. Heck, all of the songs are good (with awesome, catchy lyrics might I add)!

Overall, I was extremely impressed with the musicianship on Sick Puppies' US debut. As another review states, it isn't going to be revolutionary in any way, but it's still easily my favorite CD so far this year. Definitely pick up a copy, pop it in your stereo, and turn it up loud! I know that's something I'm going to be doing for many upcoming years.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad buy..., May 16, 2007
By D. Back (Voorhees, NJ, USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
A quality album with a few top notch songs. In a nutshell, however, most of the songs aren't as great as "All The Same" -- which is probably what brought the album to your attention in the first place. That being said, at least a couple other tracks such as "World" and "Deliverance" make it well worth the buy. I wouldn't hesitate to see them live and still recommend the album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock Solid, April 25, 2007
If you haven't seen the Free Hugs (All the Same) video, you really should check it out. The video is adorable and the song is great but the rest of the CD rocks out loud. For a 3 person band, they have amazing sound and depth. This is a must have CD!
