Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Maintaining a unique sensibility for pop hooks and lyrical charms, Ned's Atomic Dustbin create British pop sounds that are instantly recognizable in their headshaking catchiness. Forged with standard rock instruments, the Ned's sound is even more salient because of the dual bass guitar lineup which provides jolting cross-melodies like no other. A constant barrage of dirty guitar scratches across the surface with flange and wah-wah providing spongy effects. In between the rapid movements, themes of post-adolescent angst come off brilliantly with the shrewdly idiosyncratic lyrics of singer John Penny. With a little help from the "Madchester" scene, they enlivened the steps of listeners further beyond the realm of the typical shoegazers of the time. --Lucas Hilbert

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Energy, September 25, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: God Fodder (Audio CD)
If you ever want to expend negative energy in a positive manner, put this CD into the player and crank the volume up! You will find your negativity evaporating because this album takes your frustrations out for you. It is guaranteed to get you moving, and if "Grey Cell Green" doesn't have you bouncing up and down singing, then all your nerve endings must be deaddened from years of listening to the pap of Top 40 Radio. The power of the double bass line-up of Ned's combined with the earnest lyrics and a true pop sensibility make this one of the best albums in my collection. You cannot be disappointed with this album.

4.0 out of 5 stars I miss my Ned's Shirt...., August 13, 2004
This review is from: God Fodder (Audio CD)
Unfortunately, time did in the shirt but not this CD. I still have it in my regular rotation. The Ned's still pack a punch and their grunge/pop formula gets it right. The band had a devoted following, ask anyone who saw them live.

"Happy" is one of the best songs of the early 90s. Other great stuff includes "Grey Cell Green", "Kill Your Television", "Throwing Things" and "Less Than Useful".

Recommended, definitely.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably some of the best guitar driven Brit-Pop, March 13, 2000
By Adam Richman (parts unknown.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: God Fodder (Audio CD)
After seeing these mop-topped guys jumping around on MTV, in a paint-splattered room that seemed to be left over from the J. Geils Band's video for "Centerfold," I really was in no hurry to explore this band. Then, while shopping for CDs - I could not get the hook out of my head ("It's In-Si-Ide Her" - from the track: Grey Cell Green) and in fact, only got the right CD by luck. It has since emerged as one of the best that I own - certainly of it's genre. With two electric basses, two to three guitars per song and the most aggressive drum presence of the decade before Dave Grohl of Nirvana, the songs on this album are dense and packed with intertwined melodies, good musicianship and various rhythms. Stand out tracks include the aforementioned "Grey Cell Green" (the only track of Ned's that received any degree of heavy rotation), "Selfish" (contains a sample from the film, Die Hard - grinding, driving song with quite a few rhythm shifts) and the amazing, almost"~ flamenco-Spanish guitar styled, "Capital Letters." These guys are adept at all kinds of wordplay ("The grey cell's green only if the green sells grey, the grey sells green only if the green cell's grey" - Grey Cell Green) ("She'll break some hearts when she grows up. She'll break some hearts if she owns up - minus one. Mine is one." - Capital Letters). 80's and early 90's band, their rock is pretty timeless.
