"Yes. Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes! This is what I am talking about. This is what I need. A Norwegian band that sounds like the Zombies with punk attitude. A group with a bearded singer and cute tambourine girl to boot. A band to make music perfect for the summer.
The Cato Salsa Experience follows so many other bands in the
supposed "Garage Rock" revival. For my money they are the best of the bunch. They are maybe not the tightest band in the
world, but they make up for it with pure sonics. The album starts off with that greatest of all rock standbys, the grunt. "Listen to me Daddy'O" is simple stupid fun. One of those
songs where you look in the mirror and scream "you dumbass, why didn't I do that?!" Its no fluke though, evidenced by the follow up "So, the circus is back in town" a great rousing anthem, as is the later song "Time to freak out!". "M.F." introduces my favorite aspect of the album, the organ. Man oh man do I love the organ. I think every band should have one. Honestly. Just check out that groovy solo on "Got soul if you want it" and tell me that the organ is not a musical must have. Come on. I dare you.
Now I don't know how they got away with it, but "I can give you anything" is a carbon copy of the old garage standard "I can only give you everything", made famous by Van Morrison and later
the MC5. From guitar to verse the song is a slightly modified version of the original, yet no note is made of this. Odd. It doesn't take away from the fact that it's a great song. And it
certainly doesn't tarnish the fact that this is a great album. With all the talk that America is re-staking its claim as the rock capitol of the world, its good to see that Norway can
still represent."

"After a few rotations in the ol' disc player and a live concert experience I can assure you that this album will rock your socks off. It is such a breath of fresh air to hear a band playing for smiles and leave the angst and self-deprecating lyrics to the million other bands that tout the "grrrr" of grunge days past.
Compared with other "throw-back" bands, CSE show some real power and creativity to give you what you heard decades ago but still sound fresh. Plus, they're from Norway! How cool is that?"
