5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Amazing.......2007-07-01

I had never heard of this band until yesterday.

I was just looking around the web and happened upon a website that had one of their songs on it "How It Ends". I only got to hear about 4 seconds of the song, but it was enough to make the hair raise on the back of my neck and send electric chills that I haven't had from music in a long long time.

It made me go out and get all of their stuff and so far, I love it all. I haven't heard anything this amazing since The Magnetic Fields.

His voice is abosulutely amazing and soul piercing.

5 out of 5 stars Sexy, sultry.......2007-05-10

I have had this album for about a month, playing on repeat. This is best album I have heard in years. Their music is best described as--sexy.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing! a must-have! .......2007-04-23

This band denies the idea that a band can be held back by a lesser known genre of music. To begining to end, this album challenges the listener to change his/her view of music for the better....and yeah, "How it ends" is, in my opinion, probaly one of the best songs of 2006! Buy it or be square!

5 out of 5 stars So lovely..........2007-03-18

I bought this CD on a whim, as it was recommended by a reviewer when I purchased the soundtrack to Everything is Illuminated. It's great. If you like your music with a bit of melancholy, this is for you. Love it.

5 out of 5 stars Wonder-Full.......2007-01-11

One source describes DeVotchKa as "a four piece multi-instrumental and vocal ensemble that fuses Romani, Greek, Slavic, Bolero, and Mariachi music with American punk and folk roots." Personally, I can only describe their music as among the BEST I have ever heard. It is brooding at times, uplifting at others, always thoughtful, narratively lyrical (each song tells a sort of short story), and solidly melodic without ever being mawkish, phony, or fruity. Just good music.

Aside from the Milwaukee trio's 1981 debut, the Violent Femmes have made a career of tacking one or two great songs onto otherwise mediocre albums--so this 1993 best-of is perfect for consumers. It has all the good stuff, from the retro radio hour staples "Blister in the Sun" and "Gone Daddy Gone," plus the creepy murder-suicide story "Country Death Song," the should've-been-a-hit "American Music" and ephemera like live versions of "Add It Up" and "Kiss Off." With Gordon Gano's never-aging teen whine and a crack rhythm section, the Femmes have had brief moments as America's best rock & roll band. This collection captures some of them. --Steve Knopper

This was a vinyl that I wanted to upgrade for all the energetic, hectic, and powerful memories it brings. Simply a great album.

4 out of 5 stars Best of Violent Femmes?.......2006-10-29

You know what's interesting about this compilation is that while usually this sort of thing is used for people to "sell" new fans to the band, this "best of" seems more geared towards people who are already fans of the Violent Femmes. For one thing, the main versions are not always used in favor on here. For instance, "I Held Her in My Arms" and "Lies" appear in different versions than what are on "Blind" and "3." Also, the debut classics "Add It Up" (an old B-side on an import single) and "Kiss Off" are in live versions, in favor of the original. These are both good in their own right, but it seems somewhat enigmatic to introduce casual fans that way. Also, the fact that three of these "tracks" are more or less more spoken messages than actual songs. Not only that, but "Nightmares" was a genuine college radio hit and was omitted, although so was "Children of the Revolution," although maybe I'd understand excluding a T. Rex cover. Not because it's not the greatest, but to include more original VF material.

Some of that is great. There's the early demo recording of "Waiting on the Bus" as well as later fare like "I Hate the TV", "36-24-36" and "Dance, M.F., Dance," a cover from an obscure Milwakee band.

That being said, some of this is for unexperienced Femmes fans. "American Music" is possibly their most famous non-debut song and arguably the one that was most successful in its time. "Blister in the Sun" and "Gone Daddy Gone" are classics and are good introductions to the band as well. Then there's the more surprising stuff like the free jazz of "Black Girls" and others. It is mostly pretty good, even if some selections are lighweight curiosities. With this in mind, I suggest you try the band's debut and, if you like this variety, its follow-up, "Hallowed Ground" (which has "Black Girls", "Jesus...", and "CDS.")

But if you're a casual fan and want a more conventional approach you may want to check out "Debacle" or its sequel, "Permanent Record", which represents three albums and a soundtrack song that came out after this release.

5 out of 5 stars Oh what an album........2006-04-17

I heard "blister in the sun" from a mixed CD my friend gave me and I decided to check out the femmes. This is the first CD I bought of theres, and I absolutely loved it. After i bought this CD I pursued my interst in the femmes, I now own every single one of their CDs as well as merchandise. The femmes aren't for everyone, they have a very unique sound and painfully honest lyrics--but those who will like them will love this album. It is a compilation of the best of all their music.

5 out of 5 stars so good and way ahead of their time.......2006-03-11

HEY... If you're not already, start listening to the Violent Femmes! This collection, along with the reissue of their first album (at least), is a must-have for any fan. And, to all you "Emo" people, pick this CD up first. Teen angst and policital activism all wrapped up in on CD.

5 out of 5 stars "Extremely catchy" by BJ.......2007-03-29

As soon as I heard Hawk Nelson at the 2007 Winter Jam Tour in Mobile, AL, I knew I just HAD to get one of their CDs. A couple days later my dad picked up "Smile, It's The End of the World" for me, and since then my sister and I have been blasting this CD on her stereo almost daily! Every song is extremely catchy, especially "Everything You Ever Wanted", "Zero", and "Head On Collision". At times the band could start to "scream" instead of "sing", and some of the songs sound almost non-Christian, but the album is still better than average. When I say that some of the songs are almost "non-Christian", I mean that they turn into almost "love" songs. Also, this album ISN'T for adults or young children--I think only teens will enjoy this one.
However, all in all this CD is still one of my favorites--and Hawk Nelson seems like Stellar Kart's twin!!

5 out of 5 stars Not the End of the World for This Band..........2007-02-26

From the first time I heard "Every Little Thing" from Hawk Nelson's first CD, I have loved this band. Fortunately and unfortunately, they have greatly matured from their first album to create Smile, It's the End of the World. While traces of their old style remain, this album sounds much different than their last one. While it is still as "unfocused" as their past work, this album is on a different side of the pop/rock spectrum. Fans of the old record might be appalled by the change of style, as was I, but will most likely be quickly converted. Every song has something to offer. Some are happy and poppy, others edgier, and some even throw in a little Gospel flare.

Overall, this is a CD that does what it does right. No matter the atmosphere of the song, it is communicated effectively, and ultimately catchy. No one who enjoys this genre should miss out on this one.

3 out of 5 stars It's OK.......2007-02-02

This album has a light, fun sounding feel to it. It is intended to appeal to teenagers and seems to have a sound that they like.

It is rather meaningless lyrically. It is full of fluff and little meaningful content. Hawk Nelson is purported to be a Christian band, but I heard nothing in this album that would validate that. Some of the songs are boy-girl love songs. Some others are hard to tell what they are even about - mainly nonsense.

In spite of the fairly trivial nature of the lyrics, there is nothing offensive about them. This is not an album that parents would need to worry about being a bad influence on kids.

There is one song that sounds pretty good: 'Everything You Ever Wanted'. A couple of others are kind of catchy.

Overall, it is an ok album. It is not one that I particularly enjoy, but I'm sure it has some appeal for its intended audience.

5 out of 5 stars Not really a kid, i just dont wanna get an acount....well actaully im 15 but..........2007-01-19

ok, whoever said that fall out boy is a poser band, you should do some research before you say something like that. Just so you know, they had THREE albums out before they got popular, and, ever think that maybe people listend to them when they "sucked"?? Just because the band got popular DOES NOT mean that they are posers, are people who were listening to them before From Under The Cork Tree, are gonna listen to Good Charlotte.. and why does it matter if someone likes Good Charlotte, or some other "poser"?? Oh, and i happen to know for an absolute fact that fall out boy is not in it for the money, although i know that they enjoy the money(Who wouldnt). Trust me, i KNOW that. Anyways, i really like this cd. There right up there with Panic! At The Disco and Cobra Starship in my favourites. I really like Bring Em Out. Oh, and one more thing: if you dont like a band, dont bash them in front of people you know love them. It's not a good idea =) BUY THIS CD!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars unbeliveable.......2006-11-04

there are many songs and groupos that i like but this tops it!(aside from relient k) the songs are so amazing! great guitar playing and his voice fits the music...it's soooo cool! get it it is totally worth it!

5 out of 5 stars A Verse, Chorus And Such..........2007-04-19

Once again, another album that I can't get enough of and one where every single song is great - these girls speak to me - looking for sad, sick people like me in the single "I Hear Noises" the first song I ever heard by the duo, they also rant and rave when they go all "City Girl" on the one who done them wrong and the breathy and refreshing "Not Tonight" ("Love pull your sore ribs in/ I will pull your tangles out/ In the back of your car I feel like I have travelled nowhere/ what will bring me hope/ what will make me stay"), the uber brilliance of the other single "Monday Monday Monday" and the very Kirsty MacColl-ish "I Want To Be Bad." There's even an interesting mandolin leading around in "Living Room" reminding me of Ditty Bops meeting Tanya Donnelly; all in all, If It Was You is the perfect Tegan & Sara starting point, though it's their second album, if you're unfamiliar I'd start with this one and then go to the newest one - which is almost as good.

5 out of 5 stars Classic T&S.......2006-11-11

Having gotten into Tegan and Sara within the past 13 months or so, I was skeptical to think that their older stuff was as good as "So Jealous". While I wouldn't say that "If It Was You" is as good, it is definitely a tremendous precursor to "So Jealous". I highly recommend this CD to anyone that likes good music. You won't be disappointed.

4 out of 5 stars Never fails.......2006-11-10

Love the songs on this alblum, especailly "Living Room". It's extremely different from their other stuff, but awesome nonetheless.

5 out of 5 stars Tegan And Sara are simply the best........2006-01-27

I listen to a whole wide variety of music, neglecting the country and rap side of things. This is my first review ever written anywhere, but these girls need to be known. I can't define their music, someone said "folk punk", but it's boundless. Their music isn't held down by genres. Not only are their voices and songs unique and amazing, their stage presence and lyrics are serene. There's no description really that can cover them or their CD's, so just go to www.teganandsara.com listen to a free song, and then come back and buy it.
Adam

5 out of 5 stars "Heavy" in stars.......2005-09-14

Heavy starts of with a light, gliding through the guitar stings with a dexterity similar to that of a Mexican Mariachi guitarist. Tegans low,raspiness adds to the sheer intensity and focus of the rich guitar solo. The slight, almost imperceptible intervention of the piano at first adds a burst of emotion and amplitude to the song meanwhile enhancing the poetic lyrics, which are rich in metaphor for a missed love. The powerful inspiration of the lyrics that calls out for the "girls to be strong" and "unstoppable" is tied with the dramatic instrumental thus conveying a moving message of feminine power. The climax of the song is reached once the instrumental of the guitar, piano, drums explodes in a reaction of pure drama, heartache, passion and longing emphasized by the hoarse, yet emotional release of vocals screaming out "you're all that I want." A heart-wrenching denoument is reached leaving the listener strangely longing for their loves. Overall, the song delivers a message of lost love through the perspective of an angsty female.

4 out of 5 stars A bit of a change in pace in my opinion........2007-06-08

"Keep it going" while far from being unrecognizably Mad Caddies, is certianly more toward the more mellow, reggae style they do so well. That being said one of the things that first intrigued me about the Caddies back in the day was their varied repertoire and I was kind of left wishing for more upbeat punk-style tempo changes as well as the vocal variation that where less common in this CD. It is by no means a bad record, just differen't. All in all a definite must for fans, but I would use another CD to introduce someone to the Mad Caddies.

4 out of 5 stars Mad Caddies Best to Date.......2007-06-06

These guys keep getting better and better. Each album seems to have them growing musically and lyrically. Fun lyrics on a great Reggae/Ska Beat. If you always thought the Mad Caddies as a middle of the road band with occasional strokes of brilliance, try this album out, more genius here than ever before

5 out of 5 stars Super review #4!!!.......2007-05-03

Wow, what an excellent album. Closer in sound to Just One More than any other, this mostly slow album is great fun and it's 2 fastish songs are totally rad. Lazy Bones rivals Leavin' as a geeat catchy tune and the quite slow but upbeat 'Today' will stick in your mind as you sit through your day at work, waiting to get home for another listen!

Generally I prefer the fasetr Caddies songs, but the slower ones here are fantastic too, perhaps better than their previous stuff!

5 out of 5 stars Might be the Best work yet!.......2007-05-02

Hard to follow up the album "Just One More" and how could anyone not LOVE "Drinking For 11" This AMAZING Album shows just how diverse these guys are! Excellent vocals melded with the boys skills on all that they play. This album is superb and I highly recommend it! Every song is done to the highest standard. If you have not seen this band live you NEED TO GO! You will not regret it!

The major-label debut from ska punks Save Ferris isn't exactly a classic, but it is a lot of fun. There's no middle-ground reaction to their cover of "Come On Eileen"; everyone seems to either love it or hate it. If you're in the latter group, skip it and listen to "The World Is New," "Superspy," "Goodbye," and "Little Differences." Save Ferris are at their best when they're up-tempo, and fortunately there are plenty of up-tempo songs on this album, peppered with catchy hooks, the requisite horns, and Monique Powell's considerable voice (one of Save Ferris's major strengths). While not fantastic, It Means Everything is a promising album, with several moments that verge on brilliance. --Genevieve Williams

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Fun Ska CD, Great Singing.......2006-10-30

Save Ferris along with Reel Big Fish are a couple major benefactors in Ska second (but limited) revival. For the most part the songs are uptempo, the horn's great, but what really makes this album is Monique's great singing ability. Look beyond 'Come on Eileen' there are many great tunes here like the 'Spam' a modern day ska classic. Also, check out the video included on the cd with a great little cut from one of their live shows. I highly recommned this album. If you are looking for other additions to your ska library, check out Bop Harvey's get album Bread and Circus.

5 out of 5 stars An Alltime Favorite.......2007-04-07

This is one of the best albums ever produced if you ask me. It's not like I'm a huge Lemonheads fan or anything, but this album is stellar. Even though it's not a sprawling album, in fact I think it comes in at under forty minutes, each minute is worth listening to. I think it's because every song,even if they're not supposed to be, makes you happy. They may even want to make you dance, and I hate dancing. My particular favorites would have to be "Rudderless", "The Turnpike Down", "Hannah and Gabi", and the amazing title track, "It's a Shame About Ray". If you want to listen to something that will make you feel good, listen to this. Oh yeah, there's also a cool cover of "Mrs. Robinson" on this as well. Check it out.

5 out of 5 stars It's A Shame There Aren't More As FUN As This by The Lemonheads.......2007-03-31

Believe me This isn't sour candy... "It's A Shame About Ray," was The Lemonheads fifth and best release (June 1992), their Breakthrough Album! It seems like in the early '90s after the metoric success & impact of Nirvana's: Nevermind, that there was a lot of alternative music suddenly gaining the attention that it deserved. A lot of late '80s "alternative" music wasn't heard by most of the mainstream public(bands like The Pixies or Husker Du). By 1992 Alternative was everywhere in Rock, on the radio and all over MTV (back when the channel played more music than TV shows). This is one my favorites from those days.
The Lemonheads at one point were labeled "bubblegrunge" with the sweet harmonic vocals of Evan Dando and Julianna Hatfield (although she should sing more). A fabulous mellow, folky kind of Rockin' sound and this re-release closing track includes a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's: "Mrs. Robinson" - which is a really good faster version compared to the original. Also it was a song in heavy rotation at MTV and all over the radio igniting album sales.
The title track is my favorite song, but all of them are great, catchy and just downright FUN! Other favorites of mine include: "Confetti"...He kinda shoulda sorta would have loved her if he coulda...(what a catchy rhymin' tune) "Rudderless" - "Buddy" (or "My Drug Buddy") - "Allison's Starting To Happen" - "Kitchen"(ooooooh,ba ba badoooooo) - & "Ceiling Fan in my Spoon." -Yes Happy tunes! The only downside to this album is that it's only 33 minutes, and really The Lemonheads only REALLY GOOD album - 5 stars

5 out of 5 stars This CD ROCKS, buy it!.......2006-01-25

What can I say about the Lemonheads, they're one of the best bands I have ever heard. The chords that they use on some of their songs are awesome. Hannah and Gabi is a hard song to play, but I couldn't imagine making that song up out of thin air. I think this cd is among the best EVER. Just listen to the songs, every single one of them I would listen to for the rest of eternity.

1 out of 5 stars It's a shame about the lemonheads.......2006-01-10

After one reviewer clamed this album was "Better than Joy Division! Better than the Smiths!" I was surprised to find that "It's a Shame about Ray" was completely unimpressive music. The Lemonheads are not unique in any way; their music is equivalent to hearing a fly buzz. This album could be a soundtrack to a Dawson's Creek episode. Lyrics are neither appallingly stupid nor heart moving. Anyone playing with Fruity Loops on their P.C. could create a more unique sound than The Lemonheads "It's a Shame about Ray." If you like unmoving, unimpressive, downright boring music, this album is for you.

4 out of 5 stars The world doesn't deserve Evan Dando.......2005-12-31

This is one of my favorite albums of the 90's. Great melodic songs with poignant lyrics. If you listen carefully to the songs, the album is basically a love letter from a scared young man with a drug problem. Kudos to Evan Dando for the courage to record such an honest and open album. Is there any lower-self esteem love song than 'Bit Part'? I'm referring to the original CD that doesn't have the gratuitous 'Mrs. Robinson' cover track, and track 5 is honestly titled 'My Drug Buddy', not the antiseptic 'Buddy'.

The arrival of Eve 6's third album was preceded by the curious news that frontman Max Collins had been cited for indecent exposure charges after he allegedly wandered into a hotel lobby in Pittsburgh naked except for some strategically placed shaving cream. It seemed like an ominous sign: After inking a major label deal straight out of high school, becoming Top 40 stars with its self-titled 1998 debut, and relentlessly touring its sophomore album, 2000's Horrorscope, was the Los Angeles rock trio on the verge of a meltdown? Luckily, It's All In Your Head reveals the band that is very much on top of things, from the thick and creamy guitars on songs such as the spiky "Still Here Waiting" to the potent relationship drama "Think Twice" and the scratchy last-night-on-earth melody that whips through "Not Gonna Be Alone Tonight.," all carried off in a vibrant Foo Fighters/Jimmy Eat World-style. --Aidin Vaziri

4 out of 5 stars Great Album.......2006-04-12

I think Eve6 may be the most underrated band of the 90s. It's a shame they aren't around anymore, as this, their last album, is every bit as catchy and fresh as their first 2. Check it out!

2 out of 5 stars Dissapointment after almost 7 years of fandom .......2006-03-02

I'm in college now and I first started liking Eve 6 in the 6th grade. I've been a huge fan because I could never get enough to of the band's energetic, kick back and jam music, nor enough of the tongue twist lyrics that make you laugh and go "haha, I love that line". These were the reasons I adore their self titled and Horrorscope albums. When It's all in your head came out, I was reluctant, but eventually got the CD only to know why I waited almost a year to buy it. The energy of the band feels absent in this cd, and the lyrics drone on without creativity or catchiness. In previous Eve 6 albums, every song pumped you up just in time to be brought back down by songs like "Jesus nitelight" or "heres to the night", but on It's all in your head, it's rare to find that pump up song, which is a complete shame. The album feels tired. There are positives though, some songs are great:

Good lives
Bring the night on
Think twice
At least we're dreaming

Unfortunetly...the rest of the album sucks.

5 out of 5 stars !!!.......2006-02-21

This album is totally stuck in my head at the moment! It's one of those album that you can just listen to and arn't temptd to skip to your favourite song, even the slow songs rock!

5 out of 5 stars Lyrical master.......2005-12-14

Sure, there was mention of Think Twice, but nobod said a word about the best song on the album, "Bring the Night On"; it truly illustrates Collins' extraordinary talent with words. He puts words together I never knew would work. He leaves me wondering "How did he do that?" I mean listen:
"Okay I'm boring you I'm warning you tonight
It's not the night for fights, lies, white or otherwise"

And believe me, the energy when they perform it live will blow you away. And they were just opening. I wish they were the headliner that night!
It's less poppy than Horrorscope, more refined than their self titled debut, and deeper than anything I've seen from them yet, not to say that their other CD's weren't as good in their own ways.

I haven't had anybody tell me they didn't like this CD yet; everybody I play it for loves it. You won't be sorry.

4 out of 5 stars The Album After the Dawn and Before the Dusk.......2005-08-16

Eve 6's first major hit, Inside Out, conjoured up images of an excited 15-year-old high-school guy who had just taken one too many Xanax- it gave you a feeling of excess energy complimented by inane, rose-tinted babbling. Horrorscope, though highly regarded by many Eve 6 fans, shows signs of the Billy Corgan slide into an equivocal mediocrity with hints of electonica (especially notable on Here's to the Night) that has lost its emotional flavor. Its All In Your Head has lost the extra Xanax of the first two albums in favor of a more defined, varied, and deeper emotional statement well-supported by intelligent lyrics and commendable musicianship, a statement that has been lost in Horrorscope, in favor of a more soma-induced please-all, which still contains the musicianship but lacks in the emotional and intelligent arenas.

The scariest thing about Horror Pops second album, might be the cover itself that looks like were promotional stills for some goth episode of Pee Wee's Playhouse. But the visuals are the most seditious part about these Danish punk psychobilly rockers. They elevate the often creepy genre with their smart lyrics, elegant nods to New Wave, careful attention to dynamics and a strong rhythmic structure that will find you nursing a bad case of whiplash from all the head bobbing. It's one of those rare albums that combines swaggering attitude, clean melodies and a skewed sense of humor in equal measure. And that's even before you're lulled into bittersweet submission by the voice of singer/bassist Patrica Day's whose voice is caught midway between Chrissie Hynde smart and seductive purr, Debbie Harry's saucy screech and Nico's dark mysteries. -- Jaan Uhelszki

Album Description

While never dropping their trademark sexy, horror-flick flair, their new CD, produced by Bad Religion's Brett Gurewitz, reveals new depths of songwriting. Brash, Link Wray guitars, singer Patricia's sultry petulance, throbbing standup bass; all served up in loving tribute to the brooding pop of '80s icons like Blondie and Siouxsie Sioux. With two European headlining tours, performances on BBC1 and Jimmy Kimmel, and a major Warped Tour under their belts, HorrorPops are set to build on the musical success of their 2004 debut, "Hell Yeah". And kick some ass.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great guitars, great voice, great MUSIC!.......2007-02-16

This album is great, I don't know why so many are complaining when this album is clearly better than Hell Yeah! ever was.

And their first album was great!

They did stray farther away from the rockabilly since the last album, but it's still really enjoyable, bouncy, fun music that embraces the right amounts of rock, punk, rockabilly, and a little bit of pop (Heck, if you told me "Hit and Run" was a cut from No Doubts "Tragic Kingdom" I wouldn't think twice). Patricia Day sounds even better on this album, sounding somewhat like a drunk, foreign Gwen Stefani. I love her voice, the way she chews and spits some of those words... She has to be one of the best female vocalists I've ever heard.

What makes Bring It On! it better than Hell Yeah! is that the songwriting is much better, and they all but dropped the goth imagery. The only horror themed song they have on here is "Walk Like A Zombie." The rest is much more varied, plenty of songs about love, a song about rebelling against musical conformity ("Freaks In Uniform" which lets you know from the start that this album isn't *going* to be a repeat of their debut), a song about overdrinking (the hilarious "Crawl Straight Home" featuring the line "coated tongue and hairy teeth/I guess I'm not so lady like"), and the gorgeous murder ballad "S.O.B." (great vocals on that song, she really puts some bite into those lines) just to give you an idea.

But what really *REALLY* sells this record for me is the guitar work. They apparently switched out a guitarist and replaced him with some dude from Tiger Army (the bass player, I heard) meaning you have two former bass players from other psychobilly bands playing guitar. It sounds weird, but I couldn't be happier with the results. The guitars on the album really shine thanks to some gorgeous arrangements and a smart sense of subtlety. I mean, they aren't doing anything technically impressive with them (in other words, no Eddie Van Halen soloing or anything like that), but the stuff they do with thier instruments is pretty inventive. Sometimes they're playing these spidery little lines over the chords, or they'll do some echoey, reverbed, surf-style chord swooping. There's a song ("You Vs. Me" I think) where they drop the chord progression in favor of just slashing a quick powerchord every fourth beat so you just hear a quick "chick" in the background for a verse. Man, there's so much stuff that I've noticed upon repeated listens, I can't begin to remember it all, but believe me when I say this whole album has lots of interesting sonic layers if you bother to look for them.

Whats impressive about that is they could have just been banging out power chords the whole time and still made a fun album, but the guitarwork clearly shows they put a lot of time and thought into this album. It shows a surprising amount of intelligence, and while some of this type of thing was on Hell Yeah! its much more apparent on Bring It On! which tells me the Horrorpops were really shooting for a high level of quality, and I'd say they achieved it by giving us a intelligent mutli-layered musical experience.

You could pop this album in an enjoy it right away for its catchy and fun songs, but you can also surround yourself with a decent stereo and look for all the little guitar parts you didn't notice the first time around popping out of your speakers.

In short, the HorrorPops are easily the best band on Hellcat since the Dropkick Murphys (and I dare say I enjoy the HorrorPops even better than DKM), and you'd be missing out if you didn't pick up Bring It On! right away.

5 out of 5 stars Buy 2 copies, your spouse WILL steal the 1st one.......2006-11-11

There's a lot of nit-picking in these reviews about "they're not psychobilly" , "the first album was better", blah, blah, blah. The problem is that nobody else is putting out anything quite like this. You can't try to compare them to Kim's band or to Tiger Army. And please don't call them emo-billy as someone did elsewhere.

My tastes run from old time rockabilly all the way through the hard core punk of bands like the Nerve Agents, Sick of it All, etc. The simple point is that this is energetic and unique music that borrows from lots of styles. Some songs are astonishing but they are all likely to make you tap your feet and bob your head. There really seems to be something in their sound that would appeal to anyone that likes the twangy surf-guitar sound in rockabilly but wants a more up-tempo delivery. The occasional ghoulish lyric is simply a nice touch here as well.

If you already know you like them and can't wait for their next release go get Mad Marge and the Stonecutters.

3 out of 5 stars Ditch Kresge.......2006-11-03

I feel that putting Geoff Kresge in charge of song writing can only be described as a gargantuan mistake. The songs are only ehhhhh... With one major exception. Walk like a Zombie is a song that is a worthy song. I found out the reason why that song is an exception. It was written when the first cd was put out and just did not get released on Hell Yeah. I still love the band and think that the skies the limit for them, but they really need to take the pen away from Kresge, maybe even the guitar. Hell, even get rid of Kamilla, since she's the one that brought her husband into the band. I feel that he brings a negative energy into the Horrorpops. Kim and Patricia are the Horrorpops.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT ALBUM - NOT PSYCHOBILLY.......2006-05-08

This is a great sophmore effort for Horrorpops. The knock on this band is that they aren't psychobilly enough or that they aren't heavy enough. Enough for what? I remember Metallica getting the same rap once they started playing something with a melody line. "They sold out" or "they're not metal anymore" or some other garbage like that. What a load of crap! The first song on Bring It on is called Freaks In Uniforms. It's about people (and bands) tragically sticking to molds...not stepping out from them and showing individuality. The people that knock this band usually knock it for the wrong reasons - not because they're a bad band, because they don't conform to the preconceived notion of what "this type" of band should be. Horrorpops aren't psychobilly, though they do have psychobilly influences that are obvious. They are plenty heavy for what they do. Horrorpops are a POP spin on psychobilly, rockabilly, ska, and good old fashioned punk. If you don't like your music catchy and melodic, stay away from this band. If you like songs that stay in your head and that are fun to sing along to...this is it. If you like to see live bands that all look and act the same as you mosh around or skank, they aren't for you. If you like an element of glitz and flash, not unlike KISS was in the 1970's, you're going to LOVE Horrorpops.

4 out of 5 stars Not another cow in the Herd...........2006-04-30

I'm not particularly a huge fan of the Horrorpops. That being said I own this album, I have heard this album and I have heard everyone's gripes about this album. I wouldn't call this 100% Psychobilly at all (although the slap-bass is apparent in some of the songs and not so apparent in others) and I agree with one of the reviews below that this band was not trying to sound 100% Psycho. With that I believe the Horrorpops have taken a new direction with this genre much like Tiger Army has with their third album and I comend them on this. Who wants to hear the same old Psychobilly that you can hear and buy for a dime a dozen these days...? It all sounds the same! This new Psycho/Rock/Punk hybrid music is a sigh of relief if you ask me... don't you agree?

5 out of 5 stars Over It - Step Outside Yourself.......2007-07-09

Stolen from another site and I agree with it to the T.
"The best way to describe Over It's major label debut Step Outside Yourself is as a giant coming out party for everyone involved. The vocals are strong and impressive, the lyrics are poignant and refreshing, the guitars are predominately displayed, the bass is powerful, the drums blistering, and the production flawless. Every single aspect of this album is a step above everyone's past work and in reaching this new plateau the album sits a step above their peers as well.

The time is ripe, the stage is set, and the curtains drawn. If there was ever a time when the phrase "the next big thing" was perfectly fitting - that time would be now."
