worthwhile.......2005-10-10

pretty cool cd of a band that was ultra hyped when they first came out, but i guess they failed to make much of an impression on the general cd buying public. lots of great songs on this record and it deserves to be heard.

Oasis wishes they made this cd!.......2001-01-12

This CD is simply put a great work. My wife( who doesn't keep up with music at all) asked me who was in the cd player the other night as we were going out. As my title suggest I think Oasis wishes they wrote songs this good. OH JIM is certainly a great song as well as many others. One of the best CD's the past couple of years without question. I agree with another reviewer though there should have been lyrics and band information.

From Earth With Love.......2000-09-01

This was recommended to me by a friend who is notoriously picky about his music, who emphatically insisted that I get this CD. It was an excellent recommendation. This group demonstrates a wide range in their songwriting, from the plaintive "Black Ghost" to the speeding-ticket song "To Earth With Love," carrying you through the entire disc without a hitch. The last track, "Jesus Christ" is easily one of my favorite songs lately - prayerful, pleading, and musically very interesting. I'm not a religious man, but I can feel a certain... something about that song that I really like, on many levels. I took a star off my rating, though, because the liner notes consist of nothing but abstract color blobs. I would have liked to have had the lyrics to look at, or more band info, but I'm weird like that. The music is solid, though, so it's a good buy.

Once Again, Excellent British Pop/Rock.......2000-08-05

I came across this album totally by accident while listening to a bunch of other mp3's. I didn't know anything about this band prior to that. But the music did it. The songs are very interesting melodically and the overall musical production is of high quality. Did I mention that the vocals are excellent too? Its rare to hear such original music that is so well rounded and nicely packaged. Jesus Christ is the ultimate track on this album in my mind. It fits right into the classic Pop/Rock hall of fame with other classics from the Beatles, Queen, Oasis and so forth.

Hampered by bad sequencing.......2000-06-07

If this were an LP, it would be clear that the first "side" was far superior. The first 6 songs - Dimstar, Joy!, Oh Jim, My Son Mystic, Black Ghost, and To Earth With Love - are representative of what would appear to be a classic album. However, the remaining tracks fall short of the goal set by the preceeding ones. Also, Gay Dad make the unfortunate mistake of saving the worst track - Jesus Christ - for last.
