Customer Reviews:

Not as good as the first, but better than the second........2006-07-03

Pop arranging and production alone made this a viable listening experience. They attempted to go back to square one after their second album being a concept classical music album flopped artistically and commercially.

Again, if you like alittle Beatles light weight pop (as I do) than you came to the right album. Tracks 1,2,6,8 and 9 are worthy of the cost of the cd.

This is an overlooked gem..........2005-03-14

This album is a very good 70's pop album start to finish, there's not a bad song on it. One of my all time favorite 'lesser known' songs is the track 'Older'. Take a chance on it.

A Routine Album.......2004-11-21

Three albums into their career and Klaatu were making huge leaps and bounds - backwards.

I'm afraid that the majority of the material here is painfully mediocre, and in some cases quite nasty (particularly towards the end of the album). On the previous two albums, especially on their high-water mark Hope, it would sound like a completely different band track-to-track. Klaatu were quite frankly not too original, and basically churned out stylistic imitations of their easy-to-spot influences, none of which ever seemed to blend together for a single song. However, these stylistic imitations were great and resulted in a lot of tracks that could easily have been long-lost Beatles tracks with multiple hard rock and progressive rock influences sprinkled throughout.

They basically followed the same format here except they forgot to add excitement or any element of surprise. The only time my ears perked up while listening to this is when something particularly bad came on. Not a good sign, and the longer it plays the worse it gets.

It sounds like they totally summed up the way they were feeling as a band with "A Routine Day," going through the motions and working hard with little success. Unfortunately, this particularly Beatle-ish gem is the only track that sounds like any feeling was put into it. Though it is most definately a very good song, it still doesn't compare to the peaks reached on their first two albums. "Juicy Lucy" is a fun little disco tune, although it is somewhat trite.

The rest of the album consists of very bland ballads and extremely feeble attempts at rocking out. The rediculous vocoder fiasco "Silly Boys" couldn't have brought the album to a fast enough conclusion.
