Their Sound Never Changed!,
By
This review is from: Make Your Mama Proud (Audio CD)
I got this CD for Christmas and honestly I wasn't that excited about it at first. I LOVE their other two CD's. People have said in other reviews that if you like the "radio songs" that Fastball has you won't like this. I very much disagree. This is the same Fastball. Usually you can chart a change of sound as a band slowly attains fame. With Fastball, you just have the same fantastic sound. I LOVE this. My advice: If you like the other two Fastball CD's, get this. It's just as good. Songs like Are You Ready for the Fallout, She Comes 'Round and Seattle make me want to hug this band and thank them for being so fantastic. Nice thing is, all the tracks on this disc are good. Some take longer to get used to, but I was hooked on this CD all the way after the second listening. Hooray, Fastball!

This review is from: Make Your Mama Proud (Audio CD)
This c.d. is a hell of alot better than their second two. the second two are okay, but this is so... Green Day-Blink 182-ish. alot better... if you don't have it GET IT. These guitar riffs are amazing and will get stuck in your head. listen to me ..... GET THIS C.D.!!...

What's not to like?,
By Jonathan (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Make Your Mama Proud (Audio CD)
How can anyone not like this? I've read the reviews that basically say, "Ewww, too punky" and wondered, "What are you people thinking?" Granted, I first heard "Make Your Mama Proud" and "Nothing" on a snowboard video in 1995 (I think?), so maybe I came to expect all their songs to sound like that, but still...Yes, some of the faster tracks like "Eater" and "Knock It Down" are more one-dimensional and much harder-edged than later Fastball stuff, musically speaking; but even so, the lyrics are spot-on. I mean, haven't we all met someone like the narrator of "Eater" ("I will make you hate you")? Who hasn't known someone (or been someone) who's scared of growing up and lets that fear get in the way of his relationships ("Make Your Mama Proud")? Those songs, plus "Emily", "Seattle," "Are You Ready for the Fallout" and others, are by turns angry, goofy, frazzled AND struggling toward maturity--in other words, remarkably similar to what it's like for many twenty-somethings in America these days. Bottom line: If you like the Fastball you've heard on the radio, stick to their latter two releases. But if you like a bit more edge and, uh, assertiveness, while still maintaining that trademark Fastball knack for catchy melodies--or if you thought the "radio Fastball" was nice and all, but a little too laid-back--this CD is the one to get.
