5 out of 5 stars eclectic music.......1999-01-20

They have class, but they have no style - no one style, that is. If you have heard one song, you do not know Baby Ray. They have much more in store for you than any other band. They call it pop rock, but they spread out from there. They are best experienced live and rockin' because they are performance artists, but the CD is still a great bang for your buck. These guys are good, they got it goin' on and they're tight. They are accomplished musicians who know words and music and put them together in unexpected shapes and sizes. Baby Ray appeals to a lot of different people because each song takes you on a whole new trip. You don't know where it's going, but you're enjoying the ride. This is the best local band i've seen in a while. Give us more!

4 out of 5 stars Pleasing infection.......1998-11-16

Monkeypuzzle is a sneaky album. The first couple tracks admit Baby Ray's lineage: swirling, insistent vocals delivered with punchy yet blended instrumental twinges. XTC, REM, Jellyfish, and Counting Crows all come to mind (XTC being the most notable flavor). You might feel a twinge of deja vu. The real payoff, however, is buried in the deeper album tracks, most notably "Trainwreck," "The Ballad of Billy Ray," and "Thing Called Springtime." Song structure relates directly to lyrical meaning in these ditties, and now I find myself searching for such connections in the other tracks. If spend most of your time listening to "harder" rock acts, don't be fooled by the sometimes saccharine and overly deliberate blends...there is plenty of savory edge in the very craft of these songs.
