Can't put it to words

80s rehash with appeal...
, September 16, 2003Reviewer: Cylon - See all Cylon's reviewsA wonderful mix of disco, 80s, and punk rock. Although it's a rehash of Pat Benetar and Blondie, the band take themselves seriously which makes the poppy music enjoyable, addictive fun. The highlight of the album is Hit Me! which starts off with a nice drum roll followed by some horn playing and leads into a little over 2-minutes of straight-ahead pop reminiscent of Joan Jett's "I Love Rock N' Roll."

Pro Reviews: Living in America
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews The Sounds embrace the decades-old bands that have inspired them to an unhealthy, cover band-like extent -- they pose for photographs as if they're Blondie, and they both look and play the part, with black T-shirts, faded jeans, and snappy three-minute songs with trebly keyboard vamps and tightly wound guitar riffs. But the thing you cannot take away from the members of this Swedish group is that they know how to write and play songs that fit into their favorite era without the sense that specific songs are being cloned. More than that, the group has a bright, singular personality in powerful lead singer Maja Ivarsson, who has a multi-dimensional voice of her own -- her Debbie Harry isn't nearly as obvious as the guy from the Hives' Mick Jagger, for instance. If you value fun over originality -- and you should, especially when it comes to guitar bands at this point -- The Sounds' debut will serve its purpose. It's over with in 40 minutes, and it plays out like a collection of A-sides. If a legion of bands can get away with relying on Nuggets fetishes, why can't a handful get away with taking several cues from Missing Persons, the Cars, and Blondie? - Andy Kellman, All Music Guide |
