Customer Reviews:
Cool to be different.......2005-06-16
It'll take a long time to listen to this whole 3 CD set, but when you do you'll have a renewed faith that all is not lost for rock and roll/pop music. Some schlock, some predictable, some oustanding songs amongst the 63 or so tunes. Not surprisingly, I'd have to go with the other two reviewers' opinion of the standout track (I Hide, Shamus Twins), but I am a California boy, accustomed to great local bands (Byrds, Doors, Buffalo Springfield, etc.), and have some other prejudices as well!
So Many Songs, So Little Time.......2005-04-12
Man there are a ton of songs on this 3 CD set. If you want to see what's going on in an alternative pop-rock universe, this is a good place to start. While many of the songs are frankly ameteurish, this is also proof that a great many very very good songwriters/bands will probably never be heard. It's too bad. I found this CD by accident. A lot of these bands are better than what's being played on the radio, which is unfortunate for lovers of good rock (with a pop twist). Oh, well, I dig it and so do my freinds when I play (bits of) it for them. I agree with the above reviewer, The Shamus Twin's song is a knockout, but there are plenty more on here that blow away major label offerings. I'm tempted to buy more of these IPO compilations from the different years.
Cool Music, great value.......2005-03-30
I bought this disc after attending many of the International pop Overthrow shows in L.A., 2004. A lot of good bands and a lot of crappy ones. But 75% of what made it onto this compilation is good stuff.
Nearly all of this music is in the classic guitar driven, vocal harmony, hook laden Beatles-Cheap Trick school of rock and that ain't bad. No, that's quite good, as a matter of fact.
For me the standout track is by the Shamus Twins. There's three of them, so how can they calll themselves the Shamus Twins? Anyway, their track is called "I Hide", and it has a very modern rock feel to it, though still Beatle-esque.
I highly recommend this CD to any rock or pop lover who appreciates song craftsmanship and hooks hooks hooks!
