Album Description

Take a smattering of Reef, a heavy-weight chunk of Rage Against The Machine and a dollop of Lenny Kravitz, and you'll have a vague idea of where Moke are coming from. Big guitars, thudding bass-lines and classic rock vocals...

5 out of 5 stars The best modern rock band you may have not heard.......2004-04-12

This album really grew on me after 2 or 3 listens. "Down" starts of this great album with an acoustic guitar and impressive vocal stylings before the bass, drums, and guitars kick in; this opening moment is an accurate indication of the powerfully expansive musical abilities Moke possess. Moke keeps their crunchy modern rock songs interesting by changing from softer slow to mid tempo stuff to a faster and edgier style with in the same song. Moke's lead singer, John Hogg, has a great voice and delivery (his vocal style/delivery is very similar to Chris Cornell's style (I do emphasize *style* here and not *sound*)). Although this issue from Moke is less meloncholy and a bit more uptempo than Chris Cornell's "Euphoria Morning" both albums display the same impressive range of eclectic musical stylings, making them better with each listen. Hogg's voice really is the strongest part of this young British band. Hogg has a graceful sounding voice (which can beautifully hold the higher falsetto notes) which works well with the carefully plucked guitars and minimal, yet well-timed, drums and bass work. Furthermore, Hogg possesses an authentic ability to sing energetically and rock out on songs such as "Down" and "Wheel In Motion." These guys are really talented. I would recommend getting both of Moke's albums (this one first though). My favorite tracks on this album are: Mislaid the Key, My Desire, Down, Wheel In Motion, and Sleepyhead. I would recommend this lesser-known band to any fan of good music, and definitley to anyone who likes Counting Crows or Chris Cornell's solo album. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Moke- :) great.......2000-12-06

i like moke. i saw them @ the park opposite my house of all places!! they were brilliant, and i've never really recovered from being blown away by their huge sound... that night i spent the entire evening on the internet trying to find out about them - because all the other bands playing there were unsigned, i thought they were.. but they were huge, and i didn't realise! anyway - they're great. album rules

3 out of 5 stars Talented.......2000-07-14

These guys prove on this album that they have talent, but can they back it up. They seem kind of confused. I am not sure if they know where they want to go with their music. I thought I would like the variety on the album, but I am not too sure. My favorite song on this album is Mislaid the Key because I love the mix between the blues and the hip hop. It is definately worth a listen, check them out.

5 out of 5 stars Buy This Album!.......2000-02-03

I consider my taste in music to be pretty good. Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Temple of the Dog are among my favorite bands. So, you can trust me when I say that this album is one of the best albums that I've heard this year. Besides Sevendust's "Home" and Creed's "Human Clay", this is the best rock that I've heard in a long while. It would be a huge mistake to pass up this album. BUY IT YO!
