Customer Reviews Catchy as hell -- the second time around For some reason I dug it out a couple of months later and was surprised to find that it had started growing on me like crazy. Like some other reviewers, I wasn't impressed the first time I listened to this album and I put it away for a while. It quickly became my favorite album and I spent many Saturdays listening to it while tearing around the local park on my skates. The lyrics aren't the most interesting or intelligent ones you'll hear, but this band is more about style than substance -- and style they have in spades. consistent and amazing I'll admit, that song is a great way to open the album, and it is one of the best songs as well. from reading the other reviews, it seems many people got this album only to listen to Super-fire. However, this is an album where you can listen to every song without finding one you don't like, and no they are not all the same. From the first track, to TheKindaMzkYouLike to Wilmington, this is a very solid album. The last track, Zodiac Love Team, shows the band's industrial roots and could have come out of the sessions with Fugazi's Brendan Canty that became their Nineties vs. Eighties album. In my opinion, House of GVSB is one of the top three GVSB albums, along with Venus Luxure and Cruise Yourself. After this album came Freak*on*ica, which was too electronica for my taste, and then You Can't Fight What You Can't See, which is good but too polished in my opinion. This is an excellent overall album, but if you have never heard GVSB before, I would start with Venus Luxure, or maybe Cruise Yourself. Great band, great songs, 2 bass players!! 'Super-fire' is a brilliant opening track, the two basses are formidable, and the guy's voice is great even if he can't carry out a melody very well (he smokes way too [much]). I got this three years ago when i saw that the record shop I brought it from accidently confused this with a single so i got it for next to nothing ;-)It totaly blew me away, i'd never heard anything like this before. After that the quality never dips and all the songs sound different and fresh to my ears. I could try and review every track but i don't need to, just buy it and see what you think, you won't be disapointed. A week after getting this I had all their albums in my collection and i didn't have much money at the time so that was quite a big deal for me. I'm just gutted I still havn't seen them live, PLEASE COME TO WALES!!. . You can see a complete list of all Girls Against Boys discography, or go back to the Girls Against Boys tabs
