CD Reviews

Pop, politics and a touch of Beefheart for flavor
Jeff Scherer | Brooklyn, NY USA | 12/10/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Rolling Stone called them The Clash mixed with Creedence? I would say more like The Clash mixed with XTC. Both TPE and XTC appeared on Fast and Bulbous: A Tribute to Captain Beefheart, and in their own music, they both used similarly strange tunings and atonal (pantonal?) riffs to give an edge to what might otherwise be sugary pop.It was the politics, though, that appealed to me back when The Clash and Midnight Oil were among my favorite bands. These guys were angry and smart, and a very good live band. "Belly Bugs" is one of my favorites off this album. I think it's time to replace my cassette..."
A Neglected Eighties Classic
Jeff Scherer | 02/23/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the best album by a brilliant Eighties band who nobody ever seems to have heard of. Great lyrics, great guitars and some really great tunes."
This got it started for me...
John C Washburne | St. Louis, Missouri USA | 01/15/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"...my infatuation with TPE, that is. This record kicks ... from start to finish. I saw the video for 'Big Decision' on 120 Minutes and ran out and bought it the next day. I've never regretted that decision, to say the least. Usually, I wonder why bands this great never got the recognition they deserved, but it was the 80's, and alternative music meant ALTERNATIVE music. Classic twin guitar fueled rock anthems with wonderful grooves (check out Creeping To The Cross, Belly Bugs, Swamp, etc.). This record has a very dark feel to it to me. Buy everything from this band! If you prefer a little more mainstream, "pop" sound (boy has that word been highjacked in the last few years), try Chemicrazy."
