CD ReviewsRock's Not Dead Waxl | Detroit, MI | 02/15/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Incredible mix of Replacements sloppy swagger and energetic Jam or Kink rock. The first 3 songs really stand out and leave you with that fist-pump, catchy chorus kind of happiness. This is for anyone who wished the Replacements never ended or just want to once again realize that there are bands out there still making energetic, hard rock (not all the world listens to pop, hip hop and emo). If you want to preview a song somewhere the real gem on the cd is "It Ain't Funny How We Don't Talk Anymore." It will hook you." Conviction! R. Mix | Milwaukee, Wisconsin | 06/02/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "For a four-year span ending in 1987, the Replacements successfully blended feral punk abandon with poignant lyrics that detailed the perpetually out-of-sync life of a misfit. Sydney's You And I are similar; able to construct literate-but-rough-edged three-minute epics that spike adrenaline levels as they tug at your heart strings. The rousing "Gunslingers" is probably best; its Hammond B3 organ providing a launchpad for some truly joyful guitar noise. But there really isn't a weak song in the bunch: "Thuggery", "The Sweet Life", "Constance George" and the Damned-ish "Thank God I've Hit the Bottom" are all just waiting to corrupt your volume control's sense of decency. In a world as networked and wired as ours, it's hard to believe a band as good as You Am I could remain under radar for so long. 'Convicts' is so good I assumed it was a compilation by a five-year old band finally getting their break in America. But it turns out that this is just You And I's most-recent work, and that they've been at it since the mid-nineties. While 'Convicts' puts you at risk for a speeding ticket, that doesn't mean you should take a pass on its beautiful noise. That's why we have radar detectors, isn't it? " World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band Really Rocking Philip N. Levy | Miami, FL United States | 07/23/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "That Tim Rogers and You Am I truly are the "World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band" is, of course, disputable. However, this latest entry to their catalog is strong evidence that they deserve the title. They deliver the rawest rock sound since the early days with "Hi-Fi Way". Make no mistake though, "Convicts" is not a rehash of those earlier hard rocking days. It avails itself of the great progression in Tim Rogers' ability to craft rock songs. There are twelve gems here. No throwaways. It is a great album. The second disc, the bonus live album, is disappointing. The lead vocals are supplied by members of other Australian rock bands. If the purpose is to demonstrate how superior Tim Rogers' versions of these songs are compared to these other vocalists, the disc definitely succeeds. Bottom line: buy "Convicts" for the great studio album."
