Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars You've heard it all before (Not exactly a bad thing).......2005-06-21

The Good
"Babylon Rockets" gets its energy from blazing licks and furious chugga-chugga riffing. Vocalist Tin Star is the quintessential glam frontman with his playful and cocksure vocal delivery. "TwentyFourSeven" has a catchy melodic chorus and addictive hooks that tell the story of rockstar lifestyle. Gemini Five included a glamed-up cover version of Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me (Like a Record)" on their latest release. It's stacked with fuzzy guitar tones and strong keyboard pulsations.

"Get It Off" will draw you in with its up tempo riffs, power chord bridge, and high-pitched vocals. "Hardcore" starts off with subtle single note picking and soft vocals that give way to mild distortion. A driving riff dominates "Automaticool", an ode to the rock legends that inspired Gemini Five to play rock and roll. "Chemicals Between Us" is a dark acoustic ballad that explores how drugs can destroy people and their relationships.

The Bad
European audiences and American audiences differ greatly on the acceptance of this style of music. Sadly, its time has past in the states.

The Verdict
Even though Babylon Rockets is chock-full of high-energy riffs, catchy and fun song hooks, and lots of great guitar riffing, Gemini Five aren't exactly offing anything new in the way of their genre. You've heard it all before.
