High School Girly Rock.......2005-02-04
These ladies (and one guy) from Albuquerque were rocking hard before they even got out of high school. This album is a testament to the natural ability of a band that at the time was just a bunch of kids. If you're into girl rock (i.e. Elastica, Cub, All Girl Summer Fun Band) this is a good band to pick up. This album is refreshing in all its geeky high school charm. The lyrics are cute without being kitschy and the melodies are catchy and really enjoyable. I actually picked up this record because I liked the cover and I didn't see anything else in the record store worth buying. I have since become a full-on Rondelles fan. I celebrate the bands entire catalogue. So if you're looking for some nice fun girl rock to listen to, the Rondelles are for you. All their albums are great but this one is my personal favorite.
What a pleasant mistake!.......2001-06-20
I bought this record thinking I had been lucky enough to aquire a rare pressing of Elton John's long OOP (Out-Of-Print) album "The Fox", which my wife and I recieved for a wedding present in 1981. Boy was I ever surprised! I'll bet these girls are so young they weren't even around to hear such classics as "Just like Belgium" and "Heels of the wind". At any rate, after having found the real EJ classic here at amazon I thought I'd give this one another spin and - guess what - I liked it. A solid beat the whole way through! Maybe one day they will release something on par with Elton's "Rock of the Westies". We can only hope...
why aren't the rondelles more popular?.......2000-09-09
they're catchier than elastica, smarter than the donnas, have more talent in their fingernails than any of the teen stars (i.e. britney crapola and christina puke), this album is perfectly produced, they rock like all hell live, and they're all so pin-up cute - what gives? buy this album right now to start the rondelles revolution! they deserve it!
Worth the cash, but don't expect something groundbreaking.......2000-07-07
With the exception of a particularly irritating song (Don't thetwist) this album quite simply...rocks. Infectious pop melodies,smooth sweet vocals, along with riffs that'll be stuck in yr head for weeks. Has a lot of what the Donnas missed: vocals on this are better, the rock anthems aren't as corny, and it's at a good speed. By far, the two top tracks are 'Rediscover Fire' and 'Pay Attention to Me'. It doesn't take a while to get into it, it happens immediately. VERY dancable...you'll be clapping along on the first listen. It might be a revolution-starter that'll be on your top ten (although it's entirely possible) but it's a fun CD packed with originality and sweetness.
They grew up so fast.......2000-03-12
The Rondelles' first album, "Fiction Romance, Fast Machines," was great. It was precocious and charming, a fine debut. Somehow, though, "The Fox" blows that debut out of the water.
Everything has improved: production, performance and, above all, songwriting. This is a pop masterpiece with no filler. The perfection of the arrangements is stunning by anyone's standards -- and these kids are barely in their 20s.
