A hotchpotch of solo tracks, b-sides and unfinished doodles, with only three songs recorded after innuendo. Of the 'new' songs, mother love, is the best, freddie's last vocal performance. A dark track. The other two, the funky you don't fool me, is good, but a winter's tale is dreadful with irritating high pitched vocals from Freddie. The rest is just scraped from the barrels of various solo lp's and a flip side of a previous single release. The title track and, I was born to love you, were originally recorded by Freddie Mercury on his solo LP, Mr.bad guy, both these versions are better than the earlier one's as they're not so poppy. Heaven for everyone, is a song Roger Taylor's band, the cross, recorded with Freddie on guest lead vocals, Queen re-made it, it's okay, but it's nothing special. My life has been saved, originally the b-side to the, scandal, single in 1989, is average at best. It's a beautiful day, is an okay opener of a previously unfinished song, while, let me live, was originally a duet with Rod Stewart, again, it was unfinished, here, it's just a mediocre gospel/rock track, although it does feel quite emotional with Freddie, Brian, and Roger all taking a vocal spot. Most emotional of all though is, too much love will kill you, which because of Freddie's situation is moving, although it does slip into a bombastic power ballad, it's still a good song. All in all, it's the best they could have done in the circumstances but if you're a massive Queen fan you'll probably find it a much more uneven listen than those who are not, as Freddie's vocals veer from his excellent and powerful early eighties sound to the weak high pitched whine of his last few years. Altogether, Just about acceptable. "  [+]  Reply

"Decent to good britpop. 5-10 points deducted as my enjoyment is tarnished by part of my brain constantly saying morrisey for the duration of play. Not an entirely original observation I'm sure. Some good songs here though."  Reply

"The best album by a woefully underrated band. They were always written off for being a little hokey and safe, but this is an amazingly consistent album, full of big hooks and absolutely stellar guitar tones. Every track works."  Reply

Its harsh exterior reveals colored layers of sickly sweetness. It was an underground band with a cult-following that was so rampant that it fervorously turned its back on the group the moment when the band cut a deal with Geffen and made this gem. Thankfully, with producer Rob Cavallo (Green Day, The Muffs, Goo Goo Dolls) at the helm, Jawbreaker made it's most focused and accessible album before fans screamed "sell-out" and all our rejected the band, leading to their implosion shortly afterwards. The music is trademark Jawbreaker: Heavy guitars, throaty vocals, and very angsty lyrics and themes, which may be too much for the average listener. The production uplifts the group, with enough melodic hooks to keep the listener entertained until the Cavallo's trademark acoustic track at the end. The result sounds like a more angry American version of The Smiths. The lead singer's maudlin performance is packed with personal, self-attacking lyrics create an austere and mysterious atmosphere. When the lyrics are too much, the vocal performance is still intriguing and the melodies are artfully crafted. This is an incredibly influential record and certainly worth a listen. Highly recommended. Condensed to a 7" Single: A-Side: Fireman B-Side: Accident Prone "  [+]  Reply

"Nice indie folk album. Similar to the Velvet Underground albums after Cale left. I like it, but I don´t think it´s so much underrated: It´s just good but not overwhelming, the songs are not strong enough."  Reply

It takes the furocity of Pantera, the groove/classic-rock influence of COC, and combines it with the underground metalcore of Eyehategod/Crowbar to create an epic, southern influenced heavy-metal album. This is heavy-metal with a soul to the music. The music is blistering, groovy, and introspective, often all within the same song. This is the sound of 5 veterans of heavy-metal, who are good friends, making a real record and letting their classic-rock influences flow and one helluva jam session. Gritty, passionate, real metal-music...it's a masterpiece."  [+]  Reply

I honestly thought Daniel Johns was an Eddie Veddar soundalike and a Kurt Cobain lookalike. Well I grew up and began to appreciate what these boys had created ads 14 year olds. It is amazing and Daniels voice is incredible and almost has an old time blues/rock n roll feel to it. To be honest Frogstomp is an indicator of greater things to come and unbeknownst to the world Daniel Johns was a budding musical genius"  [+]  Reply
