Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
On Anyone's self-titled debut album, images of desert hedonism abound as the band veer between ultracool lurching grunge and the kind of fiddly mysticism that Spinal Tap used to favour when they sung about goblins. You can almost see the huge burning wicker man as the CD spins--or maybe that's the medicine cabinet talking. Singer Riz Story doesn't help matters much either by adopting a vocal style that makes you think of Brian Molko in long flowing robes and a wizard's hat. But as the tunes unfurl themselves it becomes apparent that rather than being comedy geeks with a taste for the arcane, Anyone have a pop nous worthy of prime time Jane's Addiction. "Don't Wake Me" is a lithe psychedelic gem that revolves around the phrase "don't believe in anybody". "Turnaround" comes over like a theatrical David Bowie, air-kissing junkies and dropouts. And "Whole World's Insane" borrows some classic Led Zeppelin riffs to tell us that, well, no point in giving the game away. A bit over the top in places, then, but generally a fine debut. --Ian Watson

From the cover artwork alone, it's clear that this is something a little different. Indeed, a little special. This 16-track debut album from the Seattle power trio immediately establishes them as contenders in the big league. Fusing Led Zeppelin, Jane's Addiction, Sabbath, Bowie & Floyd, their music is mesmerising, poetic, mystical while maintianing its own individuality and style. Guitar playing is superb, with catchy riffs and soaring solos in equal measure (just how it should be). At times Stoner, at other grunge, always progressive and often psychedelic, GPF encourages you to open your mind to Anyone!

This cd is one of the greatest of 2001, it is superbly heavy and is definately only for people with a head for rock. Pop fans will be shocked and deafened but fans of alternate metal will be amazed and thouroughly pleased. A FANTASTIC BUY!!!

Anyone's self-titled debut album is a must-have! Just from the cover artwork, CD artwork and anarchistic message hidden behind the CD, you feel the awesome power of Anyone's style. With up-tempo songs such as "Don't Wake Me" and "Whole World's Insane" combined with the sheer beauty of the rest of the album, Anyone have created a masterpiece of outstanding quality. Mesmerising, poetic, and simply a different sound that has to be heard to be fully comprehended. Open your mind to Anyone!
