A Stellar Debut
Blackberries | PA | 08/08/2004

"Dios embraces everything that is right about music, and for that, I am ever so grateful to these sweet, young, rocking dudes. I don't know how I found this album, most likely through divine intervention, but it's now firmly rooted in my heart, and has been flowing gracefully through my ears for months. From the relentless melancholia of the opening track Nobody's Perfect to the raining, tear-stained coda All My Life, this recording is overflowing with ensorcelling melodies, whimsical lyrics, youthful buoyancy, and, as the third song spells out, a ponderous feeling of uncertainty that we can all empathize with.

A number of reviewers have made comparisons to Radiohead, Wilco and Grandaddy, but the only influences that I see manifested readily in Dios are those of the great, sunny Beach Boys (the flourishing refrain of You Still Believe In Me from Pet Sounds is incorporated into Fifty Cents) a dash of Elliot Smith (the beginning of Just Another Girl sounds like a bonus track from Either/Or) and Neil Young (they play a faithful, endearing cover of Birds and deftly utilize Old Man era licks on You Got Me All Wrong). Aside from the hefty, though not overbearing derivation from the aforementioned musicians, Dios also musters up a healthy number of entirely original gems that possess and express the raw emotion of growing up at its most poignant. The gliding, jaunty Starting Five, the wistful, dolorous All Said and Done and the beautiful, candid ballad Meeting People are all authentic and absolutely outstanding songs. With Dios' debut album, they creatively run the gamut of emotions, and do so with the grace and dexterity of a band who has been playing together for forty years. They have something very special, and I highly recommend that you hear it for yourself."
They are gonna be huge

"i just saw the band last night at the troubador where they headlined. I've seen this band many times, all the way back to an early show at mr.T's bowl and also at the troubador last summer, where they were the first band and came on around 8pm. They've come a long way from that. The band is tighter, JP Caballero makes the bass his bitch and their new drummer is extremely talented. Joel's vocals also seem stronger. Expect big things from this band! This album, btw is great. Lots of influence from the beatles, beach boys, neil young (there's even a cover song) and sound similar to the beachwood sparks and J Lo (hahah). This is a must buy for any music fan - order it now, or die!"
I can't say enough!

"It's interesting ... I came upon dios malos on the OC soundtrack, however mainstream that may be. I couldn't stop listening to their song "You've got me all wrong". Over and over again until I finally broke down and bought their CD. Since then I've been raving about them. They are by far my favorite band right now. I'm going to see them at Austin City Limits in September. You should join me ;)"
