BHTM RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-01-31

This CD is AWESOME!!!!
To anyone interested in attending a Live Show but not sure who to see, I have been to plenty, and must admit that Big Head Todd and the Monsters (BHTM) is by far the BEST! The are awesome performers and they LOVE their fans! I have been to their past two live shows in Cleveland at the House of Blues, and had an experience of a life time both times. Partied hard, enjoyed great music, and even got to chat with the band, have pictures taken with them, and they were happy to autograph anything after the show! They are very down to earth, great guys..........its like hanging out with old friends!! Check them out:

Caught Me Off Guard!!!.......2006-07-14

Yes, this release was much more than I expected. About 12 years ago, a fellow musician loaned me this(a hard-rock/metal guitarist at that)and I've been hooked ever since.To be honest, I'm quite "choosey" when it comes to buying albums, so the chances of me picking up a CD by a band called Big Head Todd was very unlikely. Had this friend not turned me onto 'Sister Sweetly', it would have definitely been MY LOSS! After a few listens, I was truly immersed in this modern 'classic'. There were no 'groundbreaking' sounds,vocals,musical ideas,etc...but something about this album and band seemed 'New' and 'Different' to me. The overall "vibe" of the songs give this CD its wonderful 'Flow' (other than maybe "Groove Thing"). And this is NOT your everyday "run-of-the-mill" pop/rock album. No, this has much more than just catchy melodies and vocals---its packed with thoughtful lyrics, super-tasteful playing and mood-inducing, introspective sounds---many of the qualities that keeps me coming back to certain albums. As for the individual songs on 'SS', I can honestly say there are NO bad/filler tunes to be heard here. They are all very good songs, and even great in a couple of cases. Without going into a song analysis, I would pick "Tommorrow Never Comes", "Broken Hearted Savior", "Bittersweet" and "It's Alright" as personal favorites (though I always listen to the album as a whole). Actually, the last 2 mentioned songs ring most True with my wife and me, as these were our favorites when we first started dating...many memories of special times/moments are conjured-up everytime we hear one of these great songs(so much so, that we BOTH own a copy). Again, even though I haven't mentioned all the songs...they are all well-written,well-played,catchy tunes that work well within the structure of the whole album. So there you have it...one of the few pop/rock, 5-star album reviews your likely to find from this reviewer---Strongly Recommended!

As a couple of side-notes; In the years that have passed, I have returned the "favor" and turned several friends onto this album who, like me, may have never been exposed to this wonderful music...the consensus?---they love it too! Also, after the 12 years since first hearing BHT, I recently decided to try a few of their other releases---"Strategem", "Beautiful World" and "Midnight Radio"...and while I don't expect the greatness of 'Sister', I am nonetheless looking forward to checking them out.

Flawless.......2006-05-06

How can you rate an album as flawless? Well, in my opinion, it only happens when you put the disc in and never skip a song. You are compelled to listen to every song sequentially because each song grabs you in the first 5 seconds. You never get the feeling that they needed a couple of "filler" songs and threw together some crap in the studio (and lets face it, this is exactly what most bands today are doing).

That's what this CD is like. Every song is valuable and an experience unto itself. If you like to think, reflect and maybe even mourn a little, this disc is perfect.

One of my favorites!.......2005-04-15

I've been listening to this CD for years, and I never get tired of it. It's soulful, mellow, and COOL. Every song is good. It's not particularly happy music, but it sure makes me feel good.

Timeless.......2005-04-06

This album is still in my rotation after 14 yrs. It is timeless. Bittersweet was popular during a particularly bittersweet time of my life. The song rang true for me then and still makes me vividly remember that time and relationship. When he sings "I'm older now. I work in the city. We live together. But it's different than my dream.....Are we everything we wanted?" This song is timeless because I still wonder these same things.

The best song is actually Tomorrow Never Comes. It's lyrics are even more pointed and questioning. "He worked so hard so he'd be something. Just what it was he never knew.....So we'll just learn to love our sorrow." Ouch.
