Worthy of your attention

"This album was more of an impulse buy, but after listening to it, I am extremely glad that I did make the purchase. The things that impressed me most about this album are as follows:
1. The musical catches in each song are obviously very inspired and will most likely have you humming along after a listen or two. The best songs (IMHO) are "Fading Out" and "Blood From a Beating Heart." If you can find these on the internet somewhere, maybe they will convince you to purchace this album
2. The lyrics in the songs on this album (very much similar to their previous album) are just simply amazing. The songs are almost poetic in nature and are very open to interpretations. Pimative Radio Gods are a very underappreciated group and defenetly deserver your attention. Those of you that like counting crows, blur, the smashing pumpkins, or dave matthews will most likley appreciate this album as well."

Take Your Time, Do It Right

"No idea what caused the five year wait between albums here, but frankly, it looks like it was worth it. The lyrics remain on the trippy side without sounding obtuse or full of themselves - "I am the alien/I've come here for your sun/I'm opening up your chest/I'm taking the parts you won't miss" should give you some idea. The music has taken a more 60's pop turn, with plenty of good melodies and hooks. The album, even when loud, runs rather quiet, but it's a good quiet - you'll probably find yourself humming along or tapping your foot. Final note - despite what the booklet says, do not play at maximum volume - your neighbors will thank you."

A lost album that could've done great

"This album is fantastic, a major leap over their first one. Instead of just throwing sound effects to make the songs, they actually create songs with great melodies and chord progessions and then add any sound effects they need to their advantage. "Message From Steven" is a dreamy/distorted opener, short and sweet. "Ghost of a Chance" almost seems like something you'd hear on a soft rock station-very laid back with clever lyrical references to several jazz musicians. "Gotta Know Now" is the best song on the cd - The shimmering guitar and drums fit right in and the smart lyrics that ramble on are just plain great. "Blood From a Beating Heart" and "Fading Out" or two more great spacy acoustic songs, definate highlights. "Devil's Triangle" is the only agressive number, and agressive it is. A grungy guitar riff along with guitars in the background squealing like sirens and the singer uses a very odd voice distorter. "First Alein Photo" is another spacy acoustic song and is one of the more unique tracks on the record. A simple acoustic guitar part with ufo sounds fluttering here and there and lyrics from an alien's point of view about visiting earth. "Wayward Pilot's mission" and the laid-back "Motor of Joy" are two more great songs. "Skin Turns Blue" is another acoustic song with nothing really special about it and the melody seems bland and boring. Not a bad song but not something I listen to because all the other songs kick ass. "Whatever Wakes McCool" is a 6 1/2 minute space rocker of different sound effects with ambient noise behind it and short guitar parts here and there. A nice ending to the album, although I wish that there was more actual music going on during the song. All in all, a great lost cd that will never see the light of day. Several songs could easily make great radio tunes, but greedy corporate executives don't wanna take chances on bands like these so we hear the same boring heavy 4-chord progession crap behind a guy that tries to imitate scott stapp, who has a bad voice himself."
