The Electric Soft Parade

The best thing about this is the way your sister picks up all the words from the next room without even knowing the band's name, any of the song titles or having any previous interest in any of the music you like. 9 out of 12 tracks are original, spunky and perfectly produced to leave a really stylised, yet still cutting edge sound. The only disappointments are the three cloying ballads (It's Wasting Me Away (Track 5), Sleep Alone (Track 7) and Red Balloon For Me (Track 12)) that serve as reminders of why this band need to look before they leap in the future. I have also seen them live, and this facet of the band will be telling if they are to become the equivalent of Ash or Supergrass for the new millenium's Brit pop and rock lovers. They stank when I saw them, but I have the faith in this fine collection of sing-along anthems-in-the-making to expect that we will see more of the White brothers.

now let's take a trip down memory lane as i review this album but the duo whom make up "the eletric soft parade" the band whom had alot of promise when this album came out 5 years ago in the good old times of 2001 i was just gettin' into good rock music and abandondin' my less musical taste of "artful dodger craig david" i was hugely into oasis and this band had the brit-pop feel but not so far down memory lane that they sounded date

i love the single "silence in the dark" catchy fun song i bought the limited edition single and saw fit to go ans buy the album as i thought it would be the same and it was full emersing

garage rock and roll that could pack a punch of two,

with a hint of electronica too help them diverse

by the time this album was in full swing my hair was hangin' among my shoulders i had flourished into a hippie and got onto things like "aerosmith" the stones hendrix cream etc

and saw fit not to play this album for over a year so i decide to get rid of it..and thought i won't miss it..

and i didn't until just today i found it in my charity shop i work in..so i dug into my pocket and bought it again too see if the magic the first time around was there again and to my surprise it was

a great album that puts the white stripes to shame this is the real deal..with no warts
