Search - Gasolina :: Five-Eight

Very good, if a tad bit over-produced

"This is a good Five-Eight album, just not their best. With this album the band had signed to a major label and adopted a different sound; consequently this was the last album with longtime drummer Tigger Ferguson who was replaced by Mike Rizzi.Overall some very solid tracks here and I would not hesitate to recommend to any fan of the band."

Power pop the way it ought to be

"If there is any justice in the world, this band will someday become HUGE. Mantione is the kind of guy who performs like his life depends on it. (I hear that during a show at the 40-watt, he tripped backwards over an amp in mid-solo, fell on his butt, jumped back over the amp to the front of the stage again, and never stopped rocking.)Anyhow, on this record you'll find tightly produced power pop that makes you remember why you used to wish that your teenage years, for all their torture and tears, would never end. Wounded souls, LOUD rock'n'roll. They'll live forever."
