Still have yet to watch the DVD - and this is a repurchase from years ago - was in a car accident and the CD actually broke, then had something happen to the music stored on my computer and lost some of the songs. Great band!

Excellent

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2003

I love this album! I would describe the music as the Primitives meet the Breeders. Great pop/alternative songs. Tammy Ealom's (sp?) vocals remind me of a more talented, less raspy Kim Deal. The whole band is kind of a "more talented" Breeders, but slightly less "poppy" than the Primitives. More accessible than the Aisler's Set. This is one of the first albums in a long, long time that I listen to in it's entirety. No "filler" songs here! If you like the song "Rainfall" from Apples in Stereo, or the more upbeat Belly songs like "Slow Dog" and "Feed the Tree" or "Long Division" from the Aislers Set, you'll like this album.

Not only is the album great, but if you're new to Dressy Bessy, the DVD will make you like them a even more. This is fun, peppy music that's hard to dislike.

magnificent development

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2004

Dressy Bessy are the saviours of pop-rock. Their first album Pink Hearts, Yellow Moons or somesuch was a brilliant development in the tedious avenues of rock 'n roll and then they had a disappointing second full-length, but then they delivered this wondrous piece of work. This album is the stuff that should be sent out coded into interstellar satellites to show how much fun those crazy humans can really become. There is one slight misstep on track 4, methinks, but hardly registers in lowering the impact of this fine record.

Great!

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2003

My name is Jayson and I am 13. I give this album five stars because it doesn't have alot of banging in it like alot of CDs.
And, I think that if I were to make an album it would sound like this one.

A sequel to Sound go Round? Don't think so ...

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2003

Dressy Bessy is one of my favorite rock bands in the world. This is their best effort yet; while I will also say that for Sound go Round in a different way.
Georgie Blue is their best song yet.

This May Hurt (A Little)

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2004

Though their sound is similar on most tracks, I really am digging this album. I admit, I'm kind of a sucker for the psych sounds of Elephant 8, but this group has a nice mid to up tempo rocking sound that never dives to deep into true psychedelia or the bizarre. Steady, consistently good. Great mixed with other clean guitar centered rock or E8 friends.

Solid Power Pop

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2015

This is an excellent album of power pop songs with nary a miss. On my first listen it reminded me of Primitives vocals with a defanged Frank Black backup band. One can also hear the Apple's influence. Thinking about it, I pulled out Frank Black and the Catholics for a comparison listen, and I have to say Dressy Bessy suffers from comparison. There's a little too much drone, compressed vocal range and dynamics here, with few surprises or really any spine tingling moments. Still it's a good record that I would recommend, and bonus points for the included DVD.
