Witty, and great lyrics.......2005-09-14

Suberb album. So refreshing to hear an old band who can sing in tune. Some of these songs are superb e.g. old folks and monkey kong. Everyone should have this album, this band are so unheard of and underrated. Buy this, you will love it!

So worth a listen.......2005-09-12

So one day while watching TV I surf by a little known movie on STARZ called "Rock My World" with Alica Silverstone in it. I start watching and get hooked. It's about some band that has these great songs. I didn't get to see the end so I actually came on Amazon and order the movie. After it's finished in the credits it has some band called Casino listed as playing all the songs but I can't find them. Then when I type in the name of each song it comes up with this band called "A" and their Album "Monkey Kong". So yeah, this album is great and for some reason they make up the whole sound track of that movie but aren't credited. Don't know why but buy this album or rent that movie to get a taste. They're awesome.

Wow.......2002-07-20

Listen to Monkey Kong, A's second release, and you'll become convinced that there really is a conspiracy by record companies to prevent good music from being popular. I mean, how was this album so completely ignored? Taken with the new (and outstanding) Hi Fi Serious, it becomes clear that not only is A the most criminally underrated band in rock, but that they're the best band in rock. Period. They're like the Foo Fighters without boring ballads. Or Blink-182 with chest hair. However you want to describe it, nobody today is making music this melodic, this downright ALIVE. Not the nu-metallers, not the rap-rockers, not the garage rockers. This is what the next step in rock should be - a orgiastic fusion of balls out rock and California pop. Listen to the title track while driving and you'll floor it. "Down on the Floor," "Miles Away," and bonus track "She Said" are all so good, you'll spend half your time wondering how this band was ignored by audiences, the media, everybody. Hi Fi Serious should change that, but if A doesn't end being global rock superstars, then the music industry is beyond salvation.

Good, could be much better.......2002-02-06

This is one of the best CDs ive heard in a while. Only for musicality, however. The lyrics are a bit repetitive and have much meaning, beyond the surface, anyway. If you are looking for a CD loaded with great songs, this is it. If you are the type to judge music based solely based on lyrics, I suggest listening to a few songs first, you may still enjoy it.

The band "A" deserves FAR more credit.......2001-04-17

They don't really get any.
