CD Reviews

Solid songwriting
Tacitus | 02/19/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Great record. Some beautiful tunes.
I read somewhere that they have a new record coming out this year. (*2004?)"
This album rocks.

"A unique sound. Sort of hippy/grungy with a cool rock backbone.

Bittersweet is up there with any song by any band."
Timeless Classic

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This record will always sound pretty fresh, every track is great. And the Hoodoos thankfully never sought nor achieved mega star status which means your taste for the music has never been cloyed by the overplaying, over-promoting and embarassing ego trips that infected and corrupted other bands of the era (U2 and REM come to mind).



Also they stayed together and kept working hard as a band for many years after this record, all of their following releases are worth owning including Mach Schau from 2004.



It takes a modicum of effort to seek out the Hoodoos music, that is probably how it should be. Sometimes if something comes too easily it is not as rewarding. I think they might've been featured in Rolling Stone (ouch!) way back in the day (probably right after a long article on Michael J. Fox's dog's love life). But they survived and thrived untainted. Congratulations boys!"
