CD Reviews

Kula Shaker, please come home!
David Watts | Alpharetta, GA United States | 07/17/2003
(3 out of 5 stars)

"This is a very good record. That said, for leader Crispian Mills to disband Kula Shaker, one of, if not the greatest rock and roll band in the 1990's, in favor of this project, it doesn't make a lot of sense. For those keeping score, The Stone Roses made the same mistake a few years ago. Two amazing bands that let ego take center stage.There is very good musicianship and great melodic rock and roll songs on here but when listening to it in full, you can't help but wonder what this album would have been if Kula Shaker recorded it. I'm sorry but I don't normally yearn for the past unless it's warranted. It's warranted. Bottom line: It's still better than most new British rock and roll and certainly has it's merit being for the fact that all of this sound is driven by a power trio.Buy this record and hope for a Kula Shaker re-union. That band was simply magic. This band is a particle of that magic."
Crispian Mills at the helm

"With Kula Shaker, although there would be brief moments Crispian Mills would shine as a guitarist, I've always thought he never demonstrated his full potential. In the same way John Squire was given a wider latitude with The Seahorses, The Jeevas offers a vehicle where Mills can unload musical ideas. Lyrically '1-2-3-4' seems to gravitate towards themes of Americana. Musically the sound is of stripped-down bluesy Britpop, in the same vein as Cast, The Bluetones, and Ocean Colour Scene. Obviously The Jeevas aren't Kula Shaker, rather rootsy guitar-rock, abrasive energy, and sparkling melodies."
Pretty good retro rock
Rafael Andrade | Campinas, SP, Brasil | 03/18/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"A nice straight forward album of rock'n'roll. Exactly what the music needs today. One's major mistake is to expect a Kula Shaker album. Just forget the Cripsian Mills name and listen to it. The only thing that bothers me is that all-american driven lyrics. Enough with cowboys, american tales, etc.
Anyway, buy it!"
