    Pros: great band

    Cons: none

    I bought this cd right after i graduated from highschool in '95. I saw the video for "Plowed" and loved it. Very gritty, underground sound with a lot of good lyrics. Saw them at Ziggy's in Greensboro live and met them and where very... nice and down to earth. Have been a fan ever since. I wish they had recieved more airtime on the radio but never did. I do wonder what happend to them? Why is it that all the bands you love as a teenager just tend to disapper right before your eyes? Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Rotting Piñata

  • All Music Guide

    Most of the members of Sponge had played in straight hard rock bands before group formed. That background is evident throughout Rotting Pinata, the debut from this Detroit-based alternative hard rock band. Sponge's sense of alternative rock goes back as far as Pearl Jam, or maybe only Stone Temple Pilots, judging from the hit single "Plowed." For an STP ripoff band, they're very adept -- the chords cluster together, vocalist Vinnie sings directly from his gut, and the whole thing barrels ahead, ignoring whatever's in its way. Even if they have the polished, commercial veneer, they only deliver the songs in spurts. "Plowed" wails mercilessly and "Molly" is a rare contemplative moment, yet most of the disc features half-finished ideas like the monotonous title track.
