Pocket Full Of Kryptonite 83

Truly one of the better releases of this decade. I guess that tells you my feeling about the current music scene with rap, techno, and alternate sounds dominating the airwaves. This release is somewehat reminiscent of the old Grateful Dead/Allman Brothers era. Not as good but as close as you can get today. The platter here is long on improvisation and syncopation. In addition, it is loaded with many great tunes as most of the album received heavy FM airplay back in 1992. The nasal vocals seem to have a part quivering part rapping nature which drift in and out of key. Sometimes they sound pretty good but other times the tone is just plain annoying. Even the medicore vocals can not hide the fine interplay between the guitars, bass, drums, and other instruments which include two fine harmonica solos by Blues Traveller's John Popper. If you want to have a document to remember the 1990's, buy this disc at once.

Turn It Upside Down 77

What is it with these 1990's bands? Don't they know wht artistic growth means? Two years in the studio and these guys come up with an identical song style to their fine debut. Oh the songs are still of a good quality but some extra keyboards and many some brass would be a nice touch. There is a little less syncopation here which is a good thing. And there's a really need psychedlic number too. Where the product is very good, a little change would do them some good.

You've Got To Believe In Something 55

The same stuff a third time around is definitely not the charm. The title track has an interesting arrangement. And there are some decent keyboard and saxaphone solos and effects. However, the syncopated routine is just a bit tiresome this time around. Epic records didn't promote this record too much so that should tell you something right off the bat.
