Great Music. Not your best first choice of the apes........2005-05-30

I have nine Guano Apes CD's. The Planet Of The Apes has the cream of the crop, which is where I would point ANY first time buyer of the apes. If you already know & like the apes, I assume you already have a working knowledge of their offerings. I have an unusually wide spectrum of musical interest. I LOVE "Quality" wherever it may be found. My collection includes, Tapping The Vein, Die Happy & Lacuna Coil. I even like The Lords Of Acid once in awhile. But as of late, Whenever I feel the need for un-leashed raw female power & expression, I reach for "Planet Of The Apes", it Frosts My Cake. Expand to other Guano Apes CDs AFTER you've experienced them. Breathe in the aroma, kick the turds around awhile, get to know Land Of The Apes, first.

Worth the cash.... .......2004-10-24

What a great band. This disc is worth the price for Open Your Eyes alone. You will not be disappointed. Walking on a Thin Line is their best, but I recommend them all.

This album rocks.......2004-10-03

Unlike most people, I didn't buy this album cause there was a bat on the cover or cause I only wanted it for the song "open your eyes". I bought this album cause I knew it would be an awesome album and I was right. It's a hard rock album that can get really heavy at times where it's almost metal. The music is all well done and diverse which can sometimes be a problem for some hard rock groups (they just play simple chords and notes at high volume) but not in this case and the vocals are great. Some people might be put off by a woman being behind the mic but this is no ordinary woman, Sanda Nasic has a very unique voice. She can sing sweetly at a low volume or she can open up with a melodic scream that works perfectly with the music. All the lyrics are very well written as well. I think this is a great album for someone that's looking for a different hard rock group with some real talent.

Hidden Treasure.......2004-07-26

I found the Guano Apes because Open Your Eyes was on the soundtrack of a Warren Miller movie. The energy of that track alone convinced me to find the album. The vocals have a bit of an Ozzy quality, circa his mid-to-late days with Sabbath. I was surprised to find such a diverse collection of song styles on the rest of the album. Personally, I was hoping for mostly hard tracks like Open Your Eyes, but I found most of the other tracks to be pretty good. None of the other hard tracks live up to the promise of Open Your Eyes. There is something that says almost to me when I listen. The softer tracks are actually more compelling and better performed. I gave the album the fourth star based solely on Open Your Eyes which, with any US airplay, could actually earn this band commercial one-hit wonder status (so far), at least on hard rock stations. If you are put off by the mixed reviews of this site, but like hard rock, try to pick up a used copy online, there are plenty available, cheap. Open Your Eyes will do just that.

Some good, some otherwise.......2004-01-14

Guano Apes' "Proud Like A God" contains a selection of excellent songs that rock with real power and authority. "Open Your Eyes" - probably the best track here - is a raw, thundering chunk of thrashing rock. The music on this track is powerful and could overwhelm a lesser singer, but the lead vocalist easily out-shrieks the instruments, to fantastic effect.

The rest of the CD is hit-and-miss. "Maria," "Rain," "Never Born," and "Scapegoat" are all well-done songs that vary between hard-rocking anthems and slower ballads. "Lord of the Boards," "Crossing the Deadline," "We Use the Pain," and "Get Busy" aren't very good at all. The jaw-droppingly stupid lyrics on "Lord of the Boards" (regarding an alien snowboarder) are some of the more asinine lyrics I've heard in a song in quite some time.

"Tribute" is an enjoyable song, at least for the first 5 minutes. The final 4 minutes consist of random noise from the various instruments, including the lead singer. It sounds like some sort of terribly misguided attempt at free-form rock/jazz noodlings (complete with plenty of feedback), and it's completely unlistenable.

Three times the magic!.......2006-03-31

Their third full length CD is even better then the previous two! I first heard Guano Apes about 6 years ago when my brother turned me on the the track "Open Your Eye's". I quickly bought the debut CD "Proud Like A God" and was hooked. GA posses a raw power and emotion missing in so many American bands today. "Walking On A Thin Line" combines the best of both power and emotion delivering memorable tunes that you just can't help but listen to over and over! Every track rocks! This album has more of a heavy melodic feel to it with less of the funk rock vibe that struck gold on the first album. They've grown as a band and as musicians and should be stars here in the states. We're force fed garbage on the airwaves by the radio stations who are in the back pockets of the record companies. No wonder downloading music is so big! GA are at the top of my play list toppling most of our home grown bands easily. Buy this and the other two Guano Apes CD's if you don't already have them...you won't be disappointed!

GUANO APES ARE AMAZING.......2005-04-22

I'd just like to say I agree with everything the last reviewer said. Guano Apes are bloody brilliant and this album is by far their best. Sandra has the most amazing and powerful voice I have seriously ever heard, she can sing softly and she can scream the lyrics beautifully. Guano Apes are really unique.
Another good thing about this CD is that for every CD I own I will tend to always skip over songs I don't like .. but in this album there is no song I dislike. They are all truly amazing songs ..
Guano Apes definitely don't get enough recognition in countries other than their own, Germany.
Guano Apes, along with Incubus, are my favourite band!!!
There is absolutely no way you can regret buying this album if you are into rock music ..

Guano ROCKS the Thin Line....AMAZING!.......2004-08-21

Absolutely one of the finest albums I've heard this year. Extraordinary production, innovative songwriting, with imaginative and creative vocals. This CD just plain rocks the world! Some of the best guitar production I've ever heard. They have achieved a level of maturity. Compared to the raw approach displayed in there previous efforts Walking the Thin Line propels you into another demension. The sweetest tasting ear candy, satisfying your every need, so addictive you'll never want to stop listening. The raw power that is Guano Apes with added layers of rhythmic textures, a touch of class, a discovery that maintains its integrity being centered in the alternative rock genre.

My only complaint about this CD is that you can't hear it played on any radio however everyone I've turned on to this CD is completely amazed at how strong this band is.

BUY THIS CD and keep hammering you local stations to play it. It's the BEST CD EVER!

More focused, more mature, classic Guano Apes (finally!).......2004-05-14

This album is by far the best work Guano Apes have put out. I own both their previous albums, but in spite of moments of brilliance (including their debut single, "Open Your Eyes", neither of them really succeeded in channelling the obvious energy of the group consistently into songs that clicked. Walking on a Thin Line finally delivers, lining up song after song of classic Guano Apes. This album is a bit lighter on the manic joke songs than the previous albums, which is probably a good thing. While they have done decent light-hearted songs as B-sides ("Candy Love") and collaborations ("Kumba Yo") in the past, the darker, more sincere material is what Guano Apes do best. Songs like "Quietly", "Storm", and "Kiss the Dawn" on this album are especially successful in this vein. This album single-handedly puts Guano Apes in the ranks of the best rock bands of the world at the moment.

A must.......2007-05-08

If you are a guano apes fan, then you will love this album.

Go Ape.......2006-03-30

I could easily be writing this review about any of the band's albums since this IS a greatest hits collection. Of the band's three albums of original material here's the breakdown: Walking on A Thin Line is by far their strongest and best material. The second disc, Don't Give Me Names is also an exceptionally strong album that you can play from start to finish. Only their first disc, Proud Like A God, has some relative clunkers on it. That disc does have two of their most famous tracks (Lords of the Boards and Open Your Eyes...which was a minor radio success in the U.S. in 1997). Forgive the uneveness of the first disc due to youthful experimentation and an attempt at four very different musical personalities trying to make something they could all agree on. This is an underappreciated and definitely overlooked band in America. Only their first disc is available via a U.S. distribution company. Don't Give Me Name was yanked by RCA in America on the eve of the distribution citing the "don't hear a single" nonsense. Let's not forget that the band, under contract with BMG in the rest of the world, had something like four or five hits of that album in Europe and won Mtv Europe awards etc. So, that's really a bunch of BS. This band was lost in the shuffle of the big companies like RCA having to restructure and clean administrative house. This wasn't "the band" to new execs who had no relationship with them and they were told to try again with the next album. That would be the third and best CD which was hugely successful once again in Germany and certain European markets. But still no release here. How do I know all this? Well, I was a journalist working for a major rock magazine at the time Don't Give Me Names came out and am a big supporter of the band. I have no doubt that if even half the budget being spent on promoting Lacuna Coil (whom I also like, though a very different band) or the crap like Nightwish and Evanescence, Guano Apes would definitely had a solid market over here with several radio hits. They did sell 150,000 units of the first disc here with almost zero press and publicity budget. That means with a little effort, the band could have worked here. I was trying to push this band in that female void after No Doubt basically broke up. The record companies wouldn't hear of it...then suddenly Evanescence breaks and it's a whole different story. Too bad the band was well on its way to breaking up at that point. I flew over to see their farewell tour in Germany in Feb. 2005. Absolutely great people with still more to say as a band musically, but the relationships between Sandra and the band are probably not mendable at this time. Who's to say what could happen if Sandra's new CD (due out later this year 2006) flops, but honestly, I am not expecting it to. She told me personally her album will be a rock album. It will be interesting to see what her vision is. She truly is a dynamic performer with the best female ROCK voice I've ever heard. She is hard to define as she candle most any style, but when she let's it go, she's ferocious! I would love to hear some new guitar music from Henning (guitarist), but nothing is on the horizon seriously at this time.
If you're a fan of early Incubus, Red Hot Chili Peppers with some 80's type melodies infused with seriously rocking riffs spread over with serious female vocals, this is the band for you. They are fun and talented, somewhat twisted and quirky. Think of a much more fun and heavier No Doubt. I have never met anyone I've played them for that said they didn't like them, and that's pretty impressive. Too bad the U.S. record companies dropped the ball on this one. And shame on BMG too for forcing the band to find U.S. distribution deals outside of BMG rather than partnering with Sony (remember the merger a few years back) at the time of the third album to try again in the States with this band...then again...you've got to want it too. A starcrossed band with plenty to still offer. Start with this one and work your way back. Enjoy!

I have nine Guano Apes CD's. This collection certainly has the cream of the crop. I do wish there were just three tunes that would have appeared on this "Best Of" collection, "Heaven", "Storm" & "Sugar Skin". I have an unusually wide spectrum of musical interest. I LOVE "Quality" wherever it may be found. My collection includes, Tapping The Vein, Die Happy & Lacuna Coil. I even like The Lords Of Acid once in awhile. But as of late, Whenever I feel the need for un-leashed raw female power in expression, I reach for this single CD, or better put "CD of Singles". This one Frosts My Cake.

The entire Planet of the Apes saga eventually spanned five films and a short-lived TV series. But the original is still the best, even if it's hard to decide what's more memorable, Jerry Goldsmith's inventively modern score or the sight of Charlton Heston in a loincloth. We're sticking with Goldsmith, if only for the bold resourcefulness he showed in creating a new musical idiom--ethnic Ape. Rife with complex percussive flourishes and tinged with haunting instrumental moans, Goldsmith's score remains a singular science-fiction classic. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

A Real Turning Point in Motion Picture Soundtracks.......2005-02-24

I'm sure other reviews will discuss instrumentation, so I'll pass on that one. I will just tell you that I this score was so impressive that I loved it EVEN when the only version I'd ever known of was the trebly Project 3 release which only featured about 25 minutes of music. Acquiring this full-length release is absolute confirmation.
Who could've ever thought that experimental "cacophony" and melody could be cross-bred to create something so appealing and instantly memorable? You'll find after listening to it once that, upon the next listening, you remember the themes.
A Goldsmith classic, and truly THE turning point in film score history!

Ape Music.......2004-05-11

I enjoy this sound track. It's fast past most of the time and the music is by Jerry Goldsmith. This is the original movie and Escape music. Not the newer one with Mark in it.
This sound track is more filling and is more simple. It's orchestra through the whole thing and the music is very powerful.

One of the greatest film scores!.......2002-10-28

This score to the landmark 1968 SF film "Planet of the Apes" is a landmark itself. This is one of the most avant-garde scores ever produced for a mainstream Hollywood movie. It creates excellently just the right mood and sense of the eerie that the film requires. Rarely has a score so fit a film like hand-in-glove. This is Jerry Goldsmith at his innovative best. The CD does a very good job of reproducing the vintage recordings from the 35mm session tapes. One track, "Crash Landing," includes music not heard in the released print. The score can very much be listened to without ever having seen the film, every track a beautiful example of seemingly atonal composition that will remind you of modernist composers such as Bartok and Stravinsky.
The CD also includes a suite from Goldsmith's score to the second APES sequel, "Escape from the Planet of the Apes." While this music didn't have the same job to accomplish that the previous score did, it remains an enjoyable listen for anyone who loves the film music of Jerry Goldsmith

A Must Buy for Film Score Enthusiasts.......2002-09-05

I received my Planet of the Apes soundtrack today. It's a great soundtrack from a socially-relevant (even today) film.

Additionally, the only film with so great an ending was The Sixth Sense.Anyway...

The first part of this Varese Sarabande realease includes music from the first film.

The second part includes music from Escape from the POA.

The cover on this one is like a movie poster illustration, and the overall release is better than the one that was released with a cover that was largely white in its background and pictured a bamboo cage. (I have that previous release on cassette. You don't want it. The one I just got includes the entire score and replaces 8 cues and/or full orchestrations missing from my earlier version. This newer one is much better.)

The only bad things are:

The 1953 Fox fanfare music (it sounds bad); and

Half of the music from Escape from the POA (the first part is too sixties-ish - it just doesn't fit in with the origianl score - the rest of Escape is good Goldsmith).

The liner notes are good, provided one understands musical terms like pizzicato. If not, the stills from the films are pretty cool.

The score is certainly modernist. If you like lush scores with recognizable melodies and classical-like orchestrations, this is not one for you. It's jungle-like and chaotic.

On the other hand, if you like film music that helps you recall the actions and emotions in the film - well, then this one is a keeper. I couldn't imagine going camping or rafting in the wilds without it.

Finally, having only recently learned that Charleton Heston has Ahlzheimner's Disease somehow makes this recording that much more precious.

Amazon.com is the best thing since...well, nothing. Amazon.com is in a class by itself!!! Thanks for a great service!!!

When artists depended on their talent, not hi-tech gimmicks.......2001-08-16

If you're like the reviewer who gave this soundtrack one star and recommended that you wait for the inferior 2001 remake, then you prefer your film soundtracks full of pretentious and uncreative electronic gimmickry, lazy scoring, and forgettable instrumentation that sounds just like every other film at your local multiplex. Modern audiences have been taught to enjoy only bland, cheap, homogenous music that requires no real effort or creativity. If, however, you require film music that actually attempts to guide you thru the film's themes and plot, that uses innovative techniques, that treats you with some intelligence, then this soundtrack is for you. I have always felt that Goldsmith is far superior to John Williams and easily one of the finest film composers *ever*. I put him right alongside my favorite film composer: Bernard Herrman. This is clearly one of Goldsmith's best.

Amazon.com

The original 1968 Planet of the Apes inspired a whole cycle of sequels, a television series, and this modern Tim Burton revamp. It also contained one of sci-fi's most original and haunting scores, composed by the great Jerry Goldsmith. In scoring his dark take on the story, Burton again turned the reigns over to longtime collaborator Danny Elfman, who promptly pays tribute to Goldsmith in the "Main Titles" (echoing the original's ethereal, descending glissandos), then sets about conjuring a marauding orchestral action score that's as fierce as it is relentless. With echoes of the dramatic tension of his Batman scores for Burton, this flourish-filled simian symphony nonetheless seems distinctly melody-challenged; not a bad thing per se in the genre, but still a far cry from Goldsmith's masterful, spare balance of dynamics and color. "The Return" offers up some respite from the Sturm und Drang but then succumbs to the era's favorite classical rip-off, er, "tribute"--Holst's Mars, the Bringer of War--while the percussion-driven "Main Title Deconstruction" grandly succeeds on more Goldsmithian terms. DJ-king-cum-modern-film-scorer Paul Oakenfold (Swordfish) concludes the album with a fresh, compelling mix of music and dialogue that gives Elfman his due and then some; a more proactive collaboration offers promise. -Jerry McCulley

This sounds like nothing else I've run across on this continent. Not that I've heard anything on another continent. Don't get out much. But this makes me want to. The techno track is dope as hell too. So quit reading this, you damn dirty human...and go buy it. You won't regret the movement it'll put in your primordial soul.

A Different Kind Of Elfman.......2005-07-27

First of all, this CD is rather different from previous Elfman/Burton projects. It is very loud, percussive, bombastic, and clangy. Second of all, this CD takes the loud, bombastic tracks, and mixes them with Elfman's original fun style.

The result is an extremely creative and fun CD to listen to. It is dark and loud sometimes, but mixed with Elfman's manic style, this CD is the one of the most unique soundtracks of all time.

"Not worth the plastic it's recorded on".......2002-04-29

Unlike the actual film, Danny Elfman's composition for the new Planet of the Apes is repetitive, unimaginative and most of all mind-numbingly dull. Elfman, best known for his dark, gloomy and brooding contributions to such Tim Burton flicks as Sleepy Hollow and Edward Scissorhands, seems to have his hands full trying to recapture the melodramatic spectacle of Jerry Goldsmith's classic 1968 soundtrack, so much so that his "tribute" to him in the "Main Title Deconstruction" seems nothing more than a blatant rip-off of Goldsmith's mysterious masterpiece. At the same time, Elfman also tries to recreate the gripping tension of his Batman pieces and seems to invoke a composition that is brutal as it is unrelenting, but turns out to be, on the other hand, nothing more than melody-challenged. While not a total disaster (the opening main titles is an instant pleaser), the album does suffer from boredom, and deafening boredom at that. We've come to expect more from such a highly rated composer. That said, probably the most enjoyable track on the CD isn't by Elfman, but by DJ king and sometime film composer Paul Oakenfeld (soundtrack composer for the Travolta vehicle Swordfish), who wraps up the soundtrack with a mix of music and dialogue from the film that seems to recall sounds executed by the Chemical Brothers on the Fight Club score. Despite Oakenfeld's excellent salvage, the Planet of the Apes soundtrack isn't even worth the plastic it was recorded on.

Elfman scores(!) again.......2002-04-19

I hadn't seen the movie when I bought the soundtrack. Once again, the evocative music inspired me to see the movie when it came out on DVD.

How to describe this composition? I think it struck a chord in my primate heritage. It is stirring, hitting your primal instincts with the visceral percussion at times. Yet it is shamelessly erotic in the very next movement. It can invoke tears of empathy, while in another passage you almost want to join in the militaristic cadence.

It's fun stuff, moving, and another Elfman score...(tiresome pun intended.)

Really Cool!.......2002-03-18

Danny Elfman gave all of us the most haunting and compelling score of all of his career. It amazing and percussive and cool, for lack of a better word. Danny Elfman is a friggin' genius and he will always live through his amazing scores. Goldsmith gave us the sparing score. The "Main Titles" of his is very mysterious and Danny's is hard and gritty, very reminiscent of "Batman", with the huge gong at the end. I loved it.

:: ««« proud like gods »»» ::.......2000-12-08

Don't give me names is the best Guano Apes album far. After proud like a god they have grew, and turned better. This album is a litlle less agressive than Proud like a God, but still can be agressive. The sound has improved in all its way, turned more mellodical and more complex.

The album is all great, but Rain, Big in Japan, and Living in a Lie are the best ones.

It is a great step for Guano, and they are getting far beyond. They are creating an image, and getting away with it. Buy it, if you are a fan, buy it if you are a beliver.

I live in great britain and dont get to hear many foreign bands but in the last few years ive changed that thanks to a tv channel called viva(a geramn music channel i get on my satelight)and now i listen to quite a few foreign band although none stick out more that guano apes and liquido both of which are from germany.i purchased pround like a god the guanos first album and rocked out all the time i have had it for nearly a year and still it has its place in my cd changer at all times now when i got hold of the new album i didnt quite know what to think but after listening to it for about 5 days solid i found my self rocking out so much it was un believeable and found myself doubting which album of the 2 was the best an question i still dont have an answer for but let me say this no matter which album of theres you buy you will rock out so much it is unbelieveable. This album is definately one of the best this year and will quickly see of any competetors quickly. dont think about it just buy it and you will found out now what many people will be learning soon the guano apes rock!

The Best Rock Band in a long time.......2000-07-31

While this CD doesn't live up to their first one, it has such a carnal power in it, that you can't help but flip out in your car, your room, or wherever you're listening to it at. A few months ago I saw the Guano Apes live here in Stuttgart, Germany. They staight up rocked. I've never in my life been to a better concert. I know that I'll take every opportunity to see them again for as long as I'm over here in Europe, and hopefully, when I do return to the States, they'll be more popular over there and be playing more shows. As long as they continue to put out a product anywhere near as powerful as their first two albums, I'll be buying them as soon as they're available

It's hard to describe.......2000-06-30

when i first bought the album i wanted to do no more than listen to Big in Japan, but after listening to the album i can't seem to get enough. starting with No Speech, Guano Apes don't stop rocking. i can't really pinpoint a favorite on this album. regardless of where you're at you just want to stop and rock out while the song plays. Songs like Dodel Up, Mine All Mine, and Gogan are extremely powerful songs and the Guano Apes don't stop with just those. I look forward to seeing what they can put out on the future.

Your First Guano Apes........2005-05-31

I have nine Guano Apes CD's. This collection certainly has the cream of the crop. I do wish there were just three tunes that would have appeared on this "Best Of" collection, "Heaven", "Storm" & "Sugar Skin". I have an unusually wide spectrum of musical interest. I LOVE "Quality" wherever it may be found. My collection also includes, Tapping The Vein, Die Happy & Lacuna Coil. I even like The Lords Of Acid once in awhile. But as of late, Whenever I feel the need for un-leashed raw female power in expression, I reach for this single CD, or better put "CD of Singles". This one Frosts My Cake.
