I agree whole heartedly w/ the review above this one. This is truly a masterwork. They have taken the pathos of their groundbreaking Bring It Down (ESSENTIAL!) and brought it into the 21st century w/ some tracks proferring throbbing base, while others return to their earlier sparkling guitar driven dirges. Im not one to buy random CDs I dont know anything about, but thats how I got into this band.....and so should you! Buy it!

A truly wonderful band and this CD is just truly mindblowing. Perhaps as they are from New York perceptions on the uk can go before them,not Hip Hop this is smart softer music with a cutting instrumentation in the undercurrent. Bets of all the magig of Mary Lorson's vocals who can sing to me before I die and ensure I will smile as I go. Like the album cover its like being with your best friends on the beach, but its early evening and you are loving life with no streses, just being with people you care for . There are no filler tracks here , each song wonderfully crafted, had this for 6 months now and its still on my 6 cd auto changer, no signs that will changeFirst 8 tracks blend into a dream, THEN 'Talking to myself' shakes you from that state and you realise Mr Beam and Mr Daniels may have been introduced to the happy beach party, a late 60's hangoverjust done in a new decade. Lets just say you won't be dissapointed with this c.d!

Another solid release from NY's Madder Rose
13 Aug 1999
Format:Audio CD
Madder Rose is one of thoese rare bands that seems to be both mature and secure in their music and disinterested in rock stardom. Not that I blame them given the current state of rock, but Mary Lorson (vocals) and Billy Cote (guitar, vocals) have both the musical and songwriting skill to churn out radio-friendly albums that would no doubt get some air-time and some recognition.
Yet they seem to want to stick with their cult status, and continue to turn out record after record of beautiful, stark pop-rock. Maybe their unwilling to compromise their music. Maybe their happy playing clubs, entertaining their cadre of fans while occasionally making new ones. No matter the reason, from 1993's Bring it Down to 1999's new release Hello June Fool, Madder Rose plays what they love, and their skill has grown immensely over their 4 LP's and scattered EP/singles.
If you want great music without the hype or the pretention of made-for-radio hits, take a peek at Hello, June Fool. You wont be disappointed.
Best Tracks: #3 (Hotel) and #5 (Hello, June Fool)
Excellent, excellent record!

Their best album yet, with radio friendliness and the summertime feel that when listened to again will come back to remind you of these times for the rest of your life. "Overflow" should be all over the radio and "Hotel" is a powerful statement of dark feelings. Artisic, soulful, and very well-crafted. Madder Rose individually and as a band are at their best.

The music of Madder Rose is as good as any of thier contempories. They were way ahead of their time. The music is as fresh today as when it was released.
