Editorial Reviews

The Advantage formed in 1998 in Nevada City, CA playing Nintendo covers on and off since then and making many member changes. The self-titled album was recorded at home and at band practice on analog and digital recorders. The band's goal is to have recorded every Nintendo song by the time each member lie dead. Women say this first Advantage record is without a doubt the most fucking shitting shit on god's fuckin' earf.

Great band!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

Highly skilled band playing classic video game hits. Don't miss it!

Sounds a little like those stage bands you'd hear on a show like Last Week Tonight, professional, skilled, VERY well done. You can tell a lot of effort and time went into this album.

The songs are a bit short, but they filled the CD by including TONS of them!

Highly recommended!

Sick Old School Gamer Music

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 31, 2011

Verified Purchase

By far, this is the best Video-game cover band on the planet! The Advantage makes these old school Nintendo songs turn into gold plated dippers! I listen to this all the time when I'm going for a walk or run and it's just awesome to hear classics done by an amazing rock band. I especially love the Megaman songs!

The Very Best at What They Do

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

There are a lot of great bands that cover classic video game music, but none do it better or more precisely than The Advantage. I've been in a lot of bands and play a lot of instruments, but these guys impress me every time I listen.

It's like reliving my childhood

It's like reliving my childhood, the songs are done so well. They out their own spin on them, but I have yet to come across this bands equal on classic game remixes.

PLEASE make more of these CDs!!

The Advantage--a nod to the great music that made great Nintendo games classic. From Mega Man and Double Dragon to Super Mario Bros. 2 and Zelda, these guys rock you with old school tunes that are sure to make your day any time. I hear they've got another one coming out in October, called 'Elf-Titled'. Keep 'em coming, The Advantage! I'm loving every minute of it!

Great Covers of NES Classics

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 20, 2012

Verified Purchase

For those who remember, weren't annoyed by, and actually like NES classic music, this is the CD for you. They also have a second album featuring bikini-clad babes washing a NES on a beach, (an album called Elf-titled), which is definitely worth a listen.

ファミコン世代にはたまらない内容だけど、マニアックｗ

Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on May 11, 2004

Verified Purchase

ファミコンミュージックをすべて生バンドによる演奏で再現。
音はポスト・ロック的な正統派路線。コンピュータ音源は一切使ってません。
「ゼルダ」や「マリオ」などの有名タイトルの曲もありますが、
選曲が結構マニアックｗ。「魂斗羅」や「影の伝説」もあるし、
マリオは「1」でなく「2」や「3」をチィスしているしｗ。
「グーニーズ」と「バブルボブル」「魔界村」は必聴の価値あり。
昔にやったあのゲーム画面が思い出されます。
ただしこのアルバムは「あくまでも生バンド」。
生音が嫌いな方には物足りないものになるのでご注意を。

アレンジに飽きたら…

Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on February 17, 2007

Verified Purchase

レトロゲームのアレンジは数多く出ています。

しかし、それはあくまで｢アレンジ」なので作曲者オリジナルの部分がどうしても自分には気になっていました。

ですがこのバンドはアレンジではなく｢コピー｣をしている為ゲームオリジナルの譜面のよさに、生演奏の良さが合わさっている非常に自分好みの一枚でした。

ゲームオリジナルの曲をいじらないてほしい！という方にオススメです。

良い味、出してます

Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on November 5, 2004

Verified Purchase

非常に良い味を出してます。ほとんど原曲のままです。（キーも恐らくそのまま）
よく毛嫌いされる派手なアレンジは一切ありません。
特に悪魔城シリーズはキングクリムゾンを彷彿とさせる（かもしれない）秀逸なデキです。
演奏もまったりとしたところが良い具合にチープです。実際、売価も安いですし……。よかったらどうぞ。
