Love this Album. The CD came in good condition and on time. Unfortunately no lyrics or photos :( You will probably find a good review of the music on the internet elsewhere, but it all sounds pretty good :D

Someone is actually still making really good music. Dot Hacker. 100%. no duff tracks here. This is a brilliant album from start to finish

Great stuff!

I have been listening to this record for over two years now and finally feel the need to write about it. I'll sum it up in one sentence: One of the greatest records ever. Although I could say this about every one of the Dots records... This is a good one to start off on. I tried to introduce a friend to DH on How's Your Process? but it didn't capture him. Then I played him this record. Now he loves them as much as I do and enjoys the later releases. So if you want to get into DH or just want a really great record BUY THIS ALBUM!!! Great value for money - if you think it's a lot to pay just know that this is an investment into years of listening. You'll be picking up on stuff you didn't hear the first time round and noticing things like the wordplay and appreciate just how much the bass on this album rocks!! These guys are great. I'll stop raving about it now, just do yourself a favour and get a copy as soon as possible. It's difficult to choose a favourite as all the songs are amazing but if I could only have one song off this record in my life it would be Quotes. Beautiful stuff, guys.

Noddy Holder once famously noted that integrity and coolness are only to be found at the end of a dark alley that you had no idea you'd begun walking down. Of course, most people start off in the music biz with their backs to the wall, trying to avoid (as the O'jays knew about all too well) those backstabbers. Which brings us to Josh Klinghoffer. Through his abject fear of never making it as a stadium rocker in his own right, Josh did what any self-regarding, groupie-loving drummer would have found it hard not to do; he joined the world's worst band. Now, having got his name in lights, and in the rock n' roll hall of fame, albeit as Flea's errand boy, he's finally got around to releasing this debut album by his own band. And unsurprisingly, it sounds like an absolute rejection of all things red, hot and indeed peppery. Something else that doesn't come as a surprise is that it is rather good. It's at various times raucously delicious, dreamy, experimental, grand-sounding, loose, chockablock of sounds, and Josh's vocals are a revelation. It's immediate, and it's the future and the past of alternative gauche rolled into one. Some of it sounds like the soundtrack to Blake's Seven, though. Weird.

Listened to this album multiple time before I bought it so I already loved it

シンプルなデジパック装丁がかなりクールな1枚。 歌詞カードはおろかブックレットも付属していないが、 細部に至るまでなかなかカッコイーデザイン。 内容も極めて質の高いものでどう形容してよいか迷うが、 過度にポップ過ぎず、同時に過度に実験的でもなく…といった感じ。 個々のメンバーの熟達したプレイもすばらしいが、 そうしたプレイにありがちな「老け込んだ感」は皆無。 デビューアルバムとしての躍動感もしっかりと楽しめる。 バンドの要、Josh Klinghofferの、音の世界に溶け込むような歌声は唯一無二。 John Fruscianteの一連の作品での演奏で、 あるいはRED HOT CHILI PEPPESの現ギタリストとしての活躍で名が知られるJoshだが、 影の名脇役というイメージがつきまとっていたのも事実。 このアルバムで、彼が主役を、超一流に演じきることができると証明された。 John FruscianteやRHCPの作品でJoshのプレイに惚れた私のような人にはもちろん、 フツーのロックに食傷気味のあらゆる人におすすめできる一級品。

Brilliant debut album by a extremely creative band. You can hear some radio head influences in there, and is full of fantastic lyrics. The guitar play is well done, as is the use of electric style drums and sound bites. Highly recommended this album for experimental indie rock.

Mal wirkliche Abwechslung und trotzdem irgendwie ein bekannter sound, ähnelt teilweise an john frusciante was mich sehr gefreut hat, hat aber auch was eigenes!

L'unica pecca è il prezzo, il cd ha custodia di cartone, è arrivato il giorno in cui era prevista la consegna. L'ho preso per fare un regalo dato che in giro non si trova e quindi direi che il prezzo può essere giustificato solo da questo. Sul contenuto.. bhè è particolare, io l'ho regalato a chi sapevo potesse piacere.
