Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars not an accurate representation.......2004-02-20

I have to agree w/the reviews that say this album is just not representative of this now defunct band; it doesn't even come close to doing their music justice. way too commericialized, pop-oriented, clipped, stripped, and dumbed down for what their music is really about. this is another one of those bands that gave 100% in their phenomenal live performances when they were around but, partly due to lack of commerical success (some blame Redlight Management, of the DMB camp, for not doing their job as promoters), the band called it quits at the end of 2001. in any case, the album presents "Two Bucks In Cash" and "Where'd You Get That Vibe?", 2 smokin' live songs, as weak, watered down, and overly processed ditties while the presentation of the rest of the songs are simply mediocre on this album. "Time Bomb," "Hoping, Waiting, Longing," and "I'll Be Back" aren't worth listening to at all. I highly recommend checking out their live EP, Seed, and their last studio album, "Needle and Thread" for a sample of their best released work. Still, this is music that is best experienced live, a quality that made this group so exceptional. Their shows were always a blast.

2 out of 5 stars What?.......2000-07-19

After seeing this band numerous times, I became intranced with their musicianship and songs. I bought Straigharound and wore it out and eagerly awaited their major label debut. This album represents all that is wrong with major label honcho's. They took a fresh, musical, hip sound and made it into something that it shouldn't be. All of the previoulsy recorded songs were made worse and the new stuff sounded like it should be on the next Disney soundtrack. The label really messed this up and missed the boat with this band. I hope they rebound and someone recognizes the supreme talent that is AGR!

4 out of 5 stars Very Good CD, HIGHLY reccomend.......1999-11-09

I was originally attracted to this CD from a demo tape i picked up at the local "schoolkids records" which had the song "upspin" and "smiling up the frown." I figured i'd buy the CD and take a risk dispite some people telling me it was terrible. I LOVE IT though. All but about two songs on it are great and thats the only reason i gave it 4 stars. If there was a 4.5 I would have given it that. It really is a well done cd with some great songwriting and vocals. I would highly reccomend it to anyone, but it is a "different" kind of music, so i would try to listen to it first.

4 out of 5 stars Definitely more poppy than Agents tend to be..........1999-10-10

This album is a good example of what Agents are now trying not to become. Don't get me wrong; it's a good, lighthearted, poppy album with some fantastic songwriting. But, it's really not what they're about. It's worth buying - the break in Shortchange is epic, and the vocals on Two Bucks In Cash are stunning. But, buy Straightaround and Where'd You Get That Vibe? first (in that order).
