In my alternative world, they are tops
In my alternative world where the most talented are the ones that rise to the top, Orbit is there on the top of the stack. This is a great album, one that deserves to be played continually on mainstream/alternative radio, but somehow isn't. Best CD I own by a group you haven't heard of.


Great Album
i remember "Medicine" getting some brief play but other than that my cd copy is all i ever heard of this truly killer album. i like to keep any reviews quick and simple and i'll do that here and say this is a great album; along with My Sisters Machine, these guys and this album are one of the lesser know hidden treasures of the grunge/post grunge scene.


LIBIDO LOVE CD
. . . . this CD apparently didn't attract attention like other CDs of the 90s . . . . . but this CD which i guess falls into the POSTGRUNGE thingie is a CLASSIC !! POWERFUL RIFFS . . INCREDIBLE SONGS>>>>melodies that ROCK it you want a classic buy this LOVE CD !.


music to drive fast to.....
Without a second thought, I recommended Libido Speedway. My best friend recently bought a sports car with a 300 horsepower V8 engine and asked me to recommend an album to play while driving REALLY fast. I bought the album 5 or 6 years ago, and it remains a favorite. The music is catchy, aggressive, and great to listen to - especially on the road. The guitar is crunchy, and there's something very appealing to me about their basslines. It's disappointing that a band that could rock so hard never quite broke through, but in Libido Speedway they left behind a gem of an album. My favorite tracks are the opener - Yeah - and #8 - Noctournal Overdrive. Those two stand out, but every song on here is worth listening to. None of them disappoint. Also, if you can find them, I would recommend the Orbit single "I Wanna Make You", and the La Mano e. p.


One of the greatest albums ever
I had never heard of the band or anything. I saw this CD in Target one day and it was super cheap. I put it in my car CD player and it did not come out for over a month. It is hard to describe my amazement at how great this album was. It starts out fast and just keeps blaring. However, the lyrics and musicianship is amazing as well. Moreover, if you keep listening after the final track, there is a little bonus diddy that is impossible to get out of your head. I know that this band is no longer together, but I have bought their other CDs through the internet and they are great recordings as well. I don't for mentioning specific song title here, because all of the songs are equally great! If you find this CD some place, buy it! You will not regret it.
