Good stuff

"So I found the album "Pushmonkey" a few years back and it grew on me, they do excellent harmonies and are catchy as hell. I ordered "Maize" this week and it's even better. It has a much more raw and complex sound to it, with a very 90's/Grungy vibe. It brought to mind Faith No More, especially in the song "Dribble". It's a much better album than their self titled, although that's good too. The three songs I've heard from "Year of the Monkey" didn't really do it for me, but this is an awesome album that you can't go wrong with."

"This is my favorite Pushmonkey album mainly because I was introduced to these songs by seeing them live many times. This album is more metal than their later stuff but you can still hear the Rage Against the Machine influenced rapping and of course their great harmony vocals. Highlights include "Sweet Carribean Bungalow", "Monsters", "Mother" and "Blue" (my favorite PM song).



Also included is a great song "Rednose" that never made it to any album. I don't know why it wasn't included on "El Bitche" because it would have been the best song on that album."
