"Great! Perfect! FAN-FRIGGIN-TASTIC! I am a gigantic fan of Neil Finn and doing so, I bought his Live Album (7 Worlds Collide [great, check that one out too]) And listened to it many times. Anyways on that album is the Legendary Split Enz rock my socks awesome song 'I See Red' performed by tim Finn, Eddie Vedder, and Betchadupa. I had no idea who Betchadupa was (band fronted by Liam Finn [Neil's Son but an awesome musician in their own right, do we really need that reference?]) so wrong as it may be, I downloaded some of their songs, loved them all, bought the CD and got all the songs that I had not yet downloaded because America in the past year or so has been really just ghetto in the music industry if you don't count Norah Jones and John Mayer and didn't have the songs on WinMX (even if it had I still would've bought the CD) Anyways..ALL of the songs are grrrreat! You can listen to it again and again. And again. The opening track, At Night along with Easy as it Seems (track 3) just make you smile each time you listen to them. Liam Finn's voice is perfect, he makes the music shine..Unused Potatoes, and Feed the Dogs, 2 great tracks on the CD which take a little different turn then all of the others. Then again, its a really variatized CD. Its just awesome.."

This cd passes all expectations

"This is a FANTASTIC album. The first 4 songs are brilliant. Great songwriting from such a young group of fellows. The best way to describe it I guess is 'melodic rock.' It makes you want to get up and rock out but the melodies are always the main part of the song - if that makes sense. I listen to lots of different music and this is best 'rock' I have heard in ages. The slower songs are brilliant too - just fantastic. At their live shows you see a lot of people wearing Muse, Radiohead and Gomez shirts, if that helps to categorise them, but they aren't as dramatic as Muse, more punk than Gomez and have more energy than Radiohead. this is simply a great record. Tracks 6 and 9 and 12 are exceptional!

Try 'em out"

The Next Generation...

"The next generation has arrived. Liam Finn (son of the legendary Neil Finn) and Matt Eccles (son of the drummer of classic Aussie band The Angels) have joined forces in a band and if their debut album is anything to go by these boys will have no trouble reaching legendary status.

The album is truly brilliant and features a wide range of material from these talented young musicians. "Supa Day" "Filthy McNasty" and "Drop D" are pure rock. Then there's songs like "At Night" "Rain" "Feed The Dogs" "Unused Potatoes" and "Sleepy News" which rock just as hard but there's something more melodic mixed in there making them completely unique. Finally there are the mellower tracks on the album "Easy As It Seems" and "Other Way" are perfect but there's also "Lucy's Song" on which Liam's beautiful lyrics and heartfelt vocal stylings would melt the coldest of hearts.

The entire album is a winner but standout tracks are "Lucy's Song" "Unused Potatoes" "Feed The Dogs" and "Drop D." I recommend it to anyone and everyone who enjoys good rock music."
