This is the first album to be released in this country by the five piece known as Powderfinger. The Antipodean quintet have brought their unique sound over to our shores to save us from the mundanity of our charts at the moment. From the first listen of this album you just know that these guys are something different. It's off the wall, rocky, melodic and downright sexy. Bernard's voice assaults your ears and implores you to listen for longer...and how can you refuse? All the tracks have their own little bit of specialness and it's down to your own tastes as to which are your favourites. For me Waiting for the Sun, the opening track, is awesome, definitely a spine tingler with it's throbbing bass and strong guitars. On the other hand, The Metre and its string arrangement yet again leaves me trembling!! And not forgetting Like a Dog. Pure Rock and Roll..FANTASTIC! I'm giving this album 5 stars..I liked it when I first heard it and now I love it. It's completely grown on me and I find myself humming the tunes throughout the day. Sheer genius...nice one!

I bought this album taking a chance on an amazon.co.uk 'Customers who bought music by Pete Murray also bought...' recommendation and would definitely do so again!
I have to agree with some of the other reviews up here - I've not heard anything like them before so I don't really know which bucket to put them in. They have a little bit of a sixties rock feel to their music, especially 'Like A Dog' which has to be my favourite track on the album.
Fantastic album - funky guitar riffs, great lyrics, really varied tracks ranging from the slow and thoughtful 'Whatever Makes You Happy' to 'We Should Be Together Now' and the bonus track after 'Whatever Makes You Happy' on the version I bought - 'Nature Boy' - which will really get your head moving and your fingers tapping.
My other favourite tracks are 'Waiting for the Sun' and 'My Happiness'. Definitely recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of funky rock. GO BUY IT.

This is a great album, the first one that i got from this Brisbane band, having heard 'my happiness' on the radio in Oz.
Still listen to this a lot, largely because there isn't a bad track on the album. It's a bit different to their other stuff which is generally a bit more rocky, but different isn't always a bad thing.
Ideally to create an amazing album: if you could take the best bits from this and from their more recent album Vulture Street. This is clearly not possible, so you might as well buy both, like I have done!
Highly recommended. If you like this, check out Something for Kate...

Impressive
Because Australia is pretty much separated from the rest of the world, the music is often different from what you may find elsewhere. Read more
