Customer Reviews re-discovered now let's take a trip down memory lane as i review this album but the duo whom make up "the eletric soft parade" the band whom had alot of promise when this album came out 5 years ago in the good old times of 2001 i was just gettin' into good rock music and abandondin' my less musical taste of "artful dodger craig david" i was hugely into oasis and this band had the brit-pop feel but not so far down memory lane that they sounded date i love the single "silence in the dark" catchy fun song i bought the limited edition single and saw fit to go ans buy the album as i thought it would be the same and it was full emersing garage rock and roll that could pack a punch of two, with a hint of electronica too help them diverse by the time this album was in full swing my hair was hangin' among my shoulders i had flourished into a hippie and got onto things like "aerosmith" the stones hendrix cream etc and saw fit not to play this album for over a year so i decide to get rid of it. and thought i won't miss it. . and i didn't until just today i found it in my charity shop i work in. . so i dug into my pocket and bought it again too see if the magic the first time around was there again and to my surprise it was a great album that puts the white stripes to shame this is the real deal. . with no warts . Very disappointing I kept waiting, and waiting for a tune that would stick with me. I'd heard a lot about this cd, and was excited to play it. No compelling melodies, or any reason to hear any song twice. I'm more of a melodic pop/rock, power pop type, and this is definitely not that. Not recommended for fans of that genre. I suppose it was somewhat experimental (not a bad thing), but there was nothing to take home at the end of the journey. . Worth shelling out the cash... I started spreading the word about a week later. A good friend of mine started on about these guys about 3 months ago. They're young, and there's only two of them, and "Something's Got To Give" is just, well, excellent. And so is nearly every other track. This has been firmly entrenched in my Top 5 of 2002 list and looks to make the cut within the top three. Trust me. Shell out the bucks for the import. If you've found this review, you'll like it. A varied, rocking, sometimes soft, good-for-a-party disc that you can definitely sing along with. In fact, your next party will be that much better with this on the hi-fi. Guaranteed. .
