5.0 out of 5 stars
So different and so good, 2 Jun 2004
I had never heard of Steriogram until about 2 months ago when whilst listening to Launchcast, Walkie Talkie Man came on. I was instantly hooked by the intro's fast heavy riffs, followed up by a fusion of speed guitars, hip hop style vocals and smooth chorus. I had to hear more, and now finally i have.It'd be so easy to hear one song, love it and then be disappointed with the rest of the album. I'm very glad to say this is not the case. From the first track, Roadtrip, i had a smile on my face. What steriogram are doing is so fresh, upbeat and relentlessly cheerful that you can't help but tap your feet and sing along. Now, as a rule, i dislike hip hop and rap, but when fused so seamlessly with some excellent punk guitar stylings, it just works. There's no attitude, no negative aggression, just a pure fun, energetic band. If you want music to make you think, look elsewhere. If you want music to dance to, sing along to and generally enjoy, this is for you. The only disappointment on the whole album is the next to last track, Be Good To Me, which is a little slow and plodding for my personal tastes. Having said that, it isn't that bad that i would ever bother skipping it, so it is only a minor critiscism. The only problem for me is that, over here in Britain we don't even have a release date set for the album yet. I am desperate to see this band live now, and if the live performance lives up to the hype and the quality of this album, they'll be unmissable.
