Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great album from a little known band.......2004-07-01

I first listened to this CD because my favorite band is doosu(Casey Hess's other band)and I was suprised at how different this band was from doosu. Though It's obvious Hess was more involved w/doosu, this cd was still fun to listen to. The songs range from acoustic to funky dance mixes. Every song is different from all the others both vocaly and instrumentaly. The cover displayed for this product showing the 80's hairband is not the correct one. The actual one just has a black cover with the band's logo of a jump rope girl in the center.

If your looking for a unique album, well you've found one.

5 out of 5 stars Wow, it's on amazon??!!.......2002-12-07

First things first - the cover amuses me greatly. It makes them look like an 80s hairband, which is, I suppose, appropriate to their ironic, irreverent sense of humor. I assure you, they are anything but! When Bobby (Maloney) gave me the cd, I wasn't expecting much. You know how it is, you've got a friend, he was in a band, you check them out, etc.

Imagine my shock when my friend's old band's cd turned out to be one of my all time favorites. This entire album is amazing, from start to finish, with not a single "filler" track. In fact, I'm not even sure I can pick a favorite.

'Forgetting How' opens the album. Or rather, it blows the doors off. Next comes 'Slingshot,' during which I'm never sure if I want to sing, dance, cry, or break something. 'Looking For Mothers' is a bit of a somber tune, aptly titled as Casey's voice does indeed at times sound like "lost kids in KMart stores", and then turns to a haunting wail. 'Like Pink' takes the album to a different level, someplace dark, and hot, and wet, and sweaty, and dangerous. A place you aren't sure you should have gone to, but you don't want to leave. 'Jets & Magic' is next, tenacious and beautiful, like a confession.

'Through the IV' brings you back down into the basement. It paints retrospective walls lined with junkies, floors strewn with needles and cigarette butts and bits of broken lives. 'Layaway,' one of my personal favorites, tells a story we've all lived in some form or another, and reminds us of how we got through it. 'Silvergirl' does the same, but it breaks your heart a little more. 'Alpha Clearance' begins an instrumental ascent that continues in 'Protection,' with its liquid, rippling waves of sound. Then into the Slingshot Remix, which is just beautiful. And finishing it out is 28°, 6 minutes of heavy, dark, driving sound.

In short, this album tells a story, and each track is a new chapter. Easily one of the most evocative collections of songs I've ever heard.
