CD Reviews

One of the best albums to come along in a long time
D. Hogelin | Sandy, Utah USA | 03/12/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album really is fantastic, it definitely has something special. I really dig UK bands and this is right up there with Travis, Radiohead, Coldplay and Oasis. There music has a great sound and every song is beautiful and amazingly good. I think anyone who likes good music that is in the brit rock category should pick this up. Im very glad I did, its the kind of album that is a real pleasure to listen to day after day"

"This is a complicated album that takes a lot of getting used to, but is well worth the effort. A strong, throbbing rock album with piercingly beautiful aspects, and some potentially classic songs, JJ72 is the work of a young Irish trio. The lead singer, Mark Greenay has the most fantastically spine-tingling voice, whose falsetto is powerful and moving. All emotions are evident on this album, which is amazingly well rounded for a debut. "Oxygen", "Long Way South", "Snow" and "Algeria", the singles, are stand out tracks, "Snow" being a great lament, quivering like a requiem, and "Algeria" being a powerful rock scorcher, that just pushes on and on. At first, it all sounds a little theatrical, but on repeated hearing, looses this, as its greater parts become evident. This is a wonderful album which will, in time, become a classic of its genre."

"JJ72 - I saw these guys at Slane Castle outside of Dublin. I owned there cd prior to this, but after seeing them live I have a even greater liking for the cd. I have been listening to it a lot and will continue to do so. Add this to your collection. You won't be sorry!"
