Please Do Not Support Fastball One of the avowed purposes of the organization is to infringe upon the rights and freedoms of the American people. This EXTREMELY talented band is unfortunately one of many that contributed to a CD called Stop Handgun Violence, a benefit album for a "charity" group of the same name. Please do not support any band that works to make the American people less safe and less free.
Great band
This is almost as good as Harsh Light Of Day. The songs "Louie-Louie" , "Get High", and "Airstream" went straight to my new iPod. They have a mainstream sound. My brother made me a classic-rock gooru, but my buds in school have gotten me into this band. Hope to see them some time. Not as good as Badfinger or the Raspberries, but one of the best around today.
Great Cd From A Great Group
I thought they had split up after their best of collection. My brother introduced me to these guys and i havent stopped listening to them since. Then to my delight i saw they had released a new one in 2004. Where have i been huh?This a very solid disc indeed and a very plesant listen. Highlights include Drifting Away,Got High,Perfect World,and Red Light. The only song i found less than desirable was Falling Upstairs.
Fastball is back.
Before this one, I had "All the Pain Money Can Buy" and "The Harsh Light of Day. This really is a superb quality album. " My best friend's dad is the manager of Fastball, so I was introduced when I was younger to this band.
"Keep Your Wig On" only gets better than Fastball's previous albums. Not one song on the album is bad by any means and they really have honed their skill of writing wonderful pop rock ballads, accompanied by Miles and Tony's silky smooth voices.
Every song is well written and the lyrics are great. Do yourself a favor and buy this album!.
Love it!
When I first listened I was a bit disappointed - there were none of the harder rock tracks like "Sooner or Later", "This is Not My Life", "She Comes 'Round", and "Time" which are my favorites from Fastball. I have been a Fastball fan from the beginning and I was anxiously awaiting more from them. Keep Your Wig On definately has more of a pop style with songs more similar to their previous radio hits. But after listening one or two times I found myself unable to get the songs out of my head (no pun intended)! The best tracks are "Drifting Away", "Airstream", "I get High", "Til I get it Right", "Falling Upstairs," and "Our Misunderstanding". If you are a Fastball fan you will love Keep Your Wig On - but give it a chance - you may need to listen to it a few times before you love it!.
