5.0 out of 5 stars Grebo Rock classic ..., 25 Feb 2003
The sticker on the front of my CD case says 'Grebo Rock Classic', and how right that is ...

It's often said that PWEI would have been huge if they'd come from anywhere but Stourbridge but with 'Box Frenzy', their first proper album, they were already pushing the envelope and making music well ahead of their time, given that the album was originally released in 1987. They eventually called it a day in 1996, but they blazed a genuinely novel trail during the intervening years.

My tape copy of Box Frenzy gave up the ghost long ago, but the CD release brought back many misty-eyed memories of my university days, complete with mosh pits and cheap beer - the Poppies were often loud, often silly (just listen to 'Hit the Hi-Tech Groove' if you don't believe me!), were mixing guitars, samplers and hip-hop long before the current crop of nu-metal whiners and, by his own admission, were a big influence on Trent Reznor.

There's a whole range of styles on offer here, ranging from the guitar-driven 'Grebo Guru' and 'Inside You' to the hip-hop/house parody of 'Hit the Hi-Tech Groove' (a classic in its own right - only the Poppies could get away with sampling Adam and the Ants and Mel & Kim ... in the same track) and a cover version of Sigue Sigue Sputnik's 'Love Missile F1-11'(!). The original album was 12 tracks, so the CD has been padded out with assorted other tracks, including 'Def Con One' (the one PWEI song that most people have heard of) and an awesome live version of 'Hit the High Tech Groove', complete with aforementioned Mel & Kim samples.

Amazingly for an album originally released in 1987, this *still* doesn't sound dated and it's light years ahead of the rubbish that populates the charts nowadays. Play it loud, try not to take it seriously and enjoy ...

PWEI - gone, but definitely not forgotten.

4.0 out of 5 stars Variety, Madness and Intergalactic Love, 26 Feb 2003
By A. Irish "hyraxlord" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is rare in music to come across a group who can provide such a wide range of styles and songs in one album, let alone a career, but Pop Will Eat Itself have managed it here with Box Frenzy. I had never heard of them until I heard Now For A Feast at a friend's house. I instantly went out and bought this album, and haven't looked back since. Featuring everything from the gentle fairground boppery that is Evelyn, a song as far as I can make out about alcohol (actually sounds wonderfully like a drunken stagger, don't know if that makes sense) through to the lewd and funky Beaver Patrol ("I go down town and hustle chicks" - Beaver in the American sense then) this song has something for everyone. My personal favourite has to be Grebo Guru which seems to be full of variety in a single song, it has melodic choruses and punky er...other bits and the most bizarre spoken intro! I would recommend this album to anyone who likes any kind of music and doesn't have a fear of something a bit different.

5.0 out of 5 stars They're like scruffy pigs to look at.., 18 Oct 2007
By Karl Chambers (London, England) - See all my reviews
Was music meant to be fun? Was it supposed to soundtrack getting drunk at teenage parties or driving to clubs with your mates in a dodgy old knacker, with the stereo blaring?

If you thought that fun was important, but you also wanted guitars, beats, samples and tunes that just won't leave you alone, Box Frenzy was the only album in town. I still listen to it now. There Is No Love Between Us Anymore is a definitive dance/rock crossover tune, that would rock UK indie dancefloors for years after release and still sound fresh.

Grebo Guru kicks off the album, revealing their fuzzier, scuzzier roots, but chugs along nicely, warming up for the classic Beaver Patrol, with it's tongue in cheek sexism (A old US garage band tune, The Wylde Knights). Let's Get Ugly is daft, funny and massively entertaining. 'Romantic' love song Evelyn, allegedly to a particular drink discovered on tour changes styles dramatically, whilst the cover of Love Missile F1-11 has the infectious energy of a roomful of toddlers on tartrazine.

Inside You is another early PWEI classic and is both disarmingly direct and strangely tender, given that it seems to be about 'that special feeling, when I'm inside you'.

The extra tracks on the CD reissue don't add much to the experience of this classic, although another version of Def Con One is a splendid bonus, as are the live tracks. How's that for a re-emergence of the British artform?

Don't just buy it. Buy copies for all your friends and their friends too.
