CD Reviews

This Is the Fire

I get it | Long Beach, CA USA | 08/08/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The lyrics in AOCAC's songs are genius. The singer has the sexiest voice I have ever heard...very Johnny Cash like."

This is the fire

Sid Vicious | Los Angeles, CA USA | 07/27/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"its like Tom Petty, remixed by David Lynch.

1) "la news" is a great start

2) "dance..." just gets better with repeated listening

3) "sit still long enough" is haunting its so good (one of my favorite songs ever)

4) "days.." is a good rocker

8) "settling" makes girls melt

9) "radio waits.." is strong

11) "Weasal" is weasal"
