CD Reviews

Atomic Fireball
bledred | Southern California, USA | 07/23/2000
(1 out of 5 stars)

"I read a good review in Select magazine about this album, so I bought it blindly. Then, I took it home, listened to it, and I was very disappointed. The songs sounded flat, generic and not at all inspiring. Some introductions, such as "Lady Satellite", were interesting, however ruined as soon Pat Buchanan's whiney vocals fused in with the melody. Think twice before buying this idle album."
Great Record

"Great jangly pop is alive and well all over Atomic Fireball, whether your preference is the flat-out rev of the title track or the sweet pulse and bounce of "Penelope wild." Lead singer Pat Buchanan is a flat-out great singer, maybe the best voice I've heard all year. Paste that in front of a band that is as versatile as it is talented and you're in for a real keeper."
Atomic genius

"After listening to every song at least three times I still could not take this cd out of my player!! Pat Bucanan is a musical talent that exudes nothing but pure genius. His rhythm on guitar is second to none; vocals (all the umbrellas - christina ) on par with the best.. "Look out world"!! I rate this cd 5 STARS; because this is the type of music I've been looking for! Energetic, upbeat, totally unique with masterful songs written by someone who has listened to their heart; PERIOD! With soulful sounds radiating from Pat's vocals accompanied by zeal, passion and most of all unpolluted spirit. Best yet, Pat has to be one of the greatest guitar players in the world!
