Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Check it out!.......2006-11-27

I love Brit Pop and I love Dodgy! I have only become familiar with them the past year or two but they have definitely become a staple in my music diet. They are every bit as good as Oasis, Charlatans U.K., Blur and other Brit bands of the 90's. I think that if they continued to make music, they would've made some pretty big waves. I recently and happily found out that Nigel Clark is working on a solo career. I need to check him out!

5 out of 5 stars The diamond in the Britpop goldmine.......2006-06-27

Listen to the best of British guitar pop between 1994 and 1996 and you'll find you've stumbled into one of modern music's goldmines. And this album is surely its most precious stone.

The tracks sparkle with a musical and lyrical optimism that is infectious. No respectable artist could get away with with such laughable lyrics of "if it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me", unless you put it to Dodgy's mix of harmony-soaked pop-perfect vocals and stampeding guitar/piano/brass backing.

Yes, all the soaring melodies could have topped the charts in the 60s, but Dodgy have written them in the 90s and have duly charged them up with raw energy that typifies the Britpop movement. Dodgy the definitive Britpop band? Well Oasis didn't have the cheerful candour that reflected the movement's 60s roots. Blur may have captured the Kinks' witty anthems, but Damon's cynicism hinted that they were only Britpop associates. Dodgy's music lies at the heart of what Britpop was - and this precious album reflects everything good about the music that echoed across the British Isles (before it was laid low by some more sombre outfits beginning with Radio and Cold). Take home a piece of history.

5 out of 5 stars Ten Stars,I Give it Ten Stars.......2004-05-25

This is one of those albums that has dug itself into my skin so far that it burrowed through and came out the other side, it stained me with its quirkyness, its brilliant sense of familiarity, it really is like a warm bowl of homecooking, even at its weakest points its only fault was that it didnt floor me.
I'm from California, and ive been Waiting to buy this album for quite some time, CD's can get expensive when they are imports from england with no release in the states, I downloaded some of the songs a long time ago but didnt realize this entire album would be so magically magnificent, I can honestly say that during the warmest moments of my life the last song on this album "homegrown" will always play in my head as a soundtrack, that is what music is for me, and what dodgy has given me with "Free peace Sweet"

4 out of 5 stars A lot of influences and a lot of fun.......2002-09-23

This was another of the big pile of CDs I bought on a trip to Scotland in 96. Even though I hadn't heard of them before that trip, I found myself playing this in my rental car more than any of the other CDs purchased. I think part of the charm of this CD is trying to figure out who Dodgy is borrowing from on each track. You can clearly hear early Who, the Kinks (Schoolboys era), the Beatles (Rubber Soul era) and other unmistakeable influences throughout the CD... but Dodgy makes it work without making it seem like stealing. It's not original, it's not even necessarily memorable... but this CD is a fun listen.
