2 out of 5 stars What happened?.......2006-04-04

This recording represents one of the biggest dropoffs in quality of any group I can remember. Heck, at least the Stone Roses took five years to work up a stink before releasing their marginal followup to the debut. The Woodentops "Giant" album is easily one of the highlights of the 1980s. Quirky, melodic and fun. It's still an album I play 20 years later with hardly any face-scrunching due to clunky 80's drums & synths.

But with "Wooden Footcops" it seems that all sense of what made The Woodentops click on earlier albums simply vanished. The songs are dull and sound dated. Scott Litt was nailing REM production duties at the same time so I doubt it was all his fault. Anyone who has this album and thinks it's good should immediately go back one album and find yourself amazed by the difference.

The only reason I hold onto this CD is because of the first track "Maybe It Won't Last". It's the only thing that connects them to past pleasures. (I haven't heard the bonus tracks)

4 out of 5 stars Very good CD for the genre.......2003-01-31

Many catchy tunes on this CD. Worth a look at if you into the whole "mid-late 80's MTV 120 minutes" type music.

3 out of 5 stars Good guitar pop.......2003-01-03

Death Metal? I have no idea what the previous reviewer is talking about. This is guitar oriented pop. Not hard on the ears at all. As the editrial review says, it is unique, as well. It is somewhat to contempory British pop bands like South, Stereophonics and Elbow, at least compared to death metal.

This was one of my favorite albums back in the 80's. The sound holds up well today. Heaven and You Make Me Feel are the highlights in my book. The album, as a whole, can get a little monotonous, though.

I give it three stars, but should give it higher because it seems everyone rates everything a 5 unless it's terrible. I would have probably given it a 4 ten years ago. But I'd by this again and recommend it to anyone who likes the style (if you like one song on this album, you'll like them all), but I can't say it's for everyone.

2 out of 5 stars The Woodentops Aren't As Good As N'Sync.......2002-10-21

I found out about this death metal band called The Woodentops when i saw their claymation video for "Wheels Turning" on TRL. i decited to buy the Wooden Foot Cops LP and to my suprise, these songs are about suicide. "What You Give Out" and "Wheels Turning" are my only favorites on here. the other songs just scare me way too much. i suggest you buy No Strings Attached by N'Sync instead. thank you.
