Inconsistent but good (4.2 stars).......2001-01-08

This album (3CR's debut) is mostly medium-fast tempo melodic hard rock, bordering on heavy metal. Many of the songs are quite good, such as the fast-paced title song, the stylistically similar "Nuclear Holiday", the intricate-yet-aggressive "Halfway Up The Downs", & the melodic "Sixty Mile Smile", while others are uninteresting, such as the simplistic "Mental Blocks" & the dull attempts at pop-oriented singles "Copper Girl" & "Fit Boy & Faint Girl". The band's 2nd album has better, more intricate songwriting (the melodies on this album are at times overly simple) & significantly more variety among the songs than this album does. If you like 3CR, you might also like Diamond Head's album "Death & Progress" (bassist/singer Pete Vuckovic from 3CR is the bassist on that album also.)

Classic punk rock from an ignored group.......2000-12-05

It is sad that only in their native Britain can bands like 3 Colours Red be successful. This album, with its flashes of punk and heavy metal (lead singer Pete Vuckovic is a fanatical AC/DC fan) mixed with a subtle sprinkling of Britpop, no doubt due to them being signed to Creation in the UK. Nuclear Holiday, Sixty Mile Smile and Pure all shook the UK charts, and imho the title track is the standout with it's singalong chorus and chugging guitar riff. Nuclear Holiday, Sunny In England and Mental Blocks I would place in the same bracket. The tempo slows a little for some of the later tracks, including the power ballad Fit Boy + Faint Girl (which has intruiging but nonsensical lyrics), and the poppy Love's Cradle, but things finish with the ferocious 2 minute blast of Aniseed, not unlike the way Age Of Madness closed out Revolt. If you like vintage punk rather than some of the braindeads currently choking the scene (Limp Bizkit, Blink 182) this will impress

Good.......1999-11-04

This is the first offering from 3 Colours Red and these guys show that they have the power the guts and the talent to establish theirselves in the punk rock community .

DIDN'T GRAB ME.......1999-03-02

This album didn't grab me the way I thought it was going to. The songs for the most part were uninspirational and didn't have a good rhythym to em. Some other people might really like this CD because of different personalities but I give this one a 2 thumbs down for lack of interesting tracks
