Product Description

Amazon.ca

Stereophonics have evolved remarkably since they were a Welsh covers band who once prided themselves on the authenticity of their Jimi Hendrix set. Though that 1960s influence is muted on the follow-up to their million-selling debut, Word Gets Around, there are enough hard riffs and vocal shred on the power trio's sophomore outing to evoke more contemporary Seattle comparisons. His band's whirlwind success have informed singer-songwriter Kelly Jones' lyrics and vocal persona with some refreshingly wide-eyed cynicism to season his band's hard-edged pop bent. Though they evoke comparisons to everyone from the Faces to Alice in Chains, Stereophonics are clearly carving their own niche, especially on the infectious "She Take Her Clothes Off," the acoustic-rooted "I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio," the raucous opener "Roll Up and Shine," and "A Minute Longer." Like many ambitious young musicians before them, Jones and company have written about the world they've seen from the back of a bar, a tour bus window, and through TV's jaundiced filter; it's the cinematic grace, wit, and humanity of those observations that sets them apart from their Brit-pop peers and forecasts even greater things to come. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant album Sep 5 2010
By Ben Nicholson TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
A brilliant album and one of the stand out album's of the 90's. A very fast moving, rock album and even thou it's hard to pick there best album I certaily think it's up there (in my humble opion there best). I can't pick a bad song out of this but The Bartender and the Thief is one of the best. This is one of the only album's that I can actually say I think every single song is brilliant. A must buy. It is great, trust me.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Phonics Rock Jun 16 2002
By Robert T.
Format:Audio CD
What can I say? The Stereophonics rock on this album, and I have to recommend that everyone pick it up and give it a listen. You'll love it, there's no way you can't. From the fast-paced, hard-rocking of songs like "The Bartender and the Thief" and "Roll Up and Shine" to the slower, trendier tracks like "Pick a Part that's New", the Stereophonics have definitely made an impact on the British pop/rock music industry, and are having a strong affect in the USA as well. Great album!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant! Dec 9 2001
By Zenobia Hopwood
Format:Audio CD
Have you ever gotten a new cd, turned the volume up and wanted to sing along immediately but you don't know the lyrics? That just happened to me. Instead of singing though, it's also fun to hit your steering wheel to the beat. Back to the task at hand--I love this cd. It's entirely different from what I'm used to hearing, the lyrics are somewhat obscure(definitely a plus), and "the beats" are wicked. There's a song on the album for every mood that you could possibly be in and the sound is very intense. At the risk of carrying on endlessly, I'll finish this review lamely, with just one statement--if you buy this cd, you will not regret it.
