Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Wrapped in Plastic, cause here we come, major lable success Comment: Some songs selected from their last independent release "Wrapped in Plastic", Sugarcult was picked up by a major label, and boom, they explode onto the world. Working their songs into soundtracks like Van Wilder and American Pie, Sugarcult took America by storm. This album is full of incredible tunes, with great hooks and melodies. Song Like "Pretty Girl", "Stuck in America" and "Bouncing Off The Walls" scream for this album to be heard and played loud. The songs are about love, life, break-ups, new relations, ect...all of what makes a good rock album. Everyone interested in Sugarcult must have this album, you will not be disappointed. Customer Rating: Summary: Wow Comment: This is actually the best cd I have ever listened to. Usually I like only a few songs on a cd, but I actually love every single song here. I'd classify the whole cd as pop-punk, but each song has an underlying musical element. Their earlier release of Wrap Me Up in Plastic, is also fabulous. Customer Rating: Summary: ..Rock..Emo..Pop.. Comment: I looked everywhere for this CD. Over the course of 2 years I had finally found it at a Bust Buy. There was one left. I didn't really stop to think about buying it, so I just grabbed it. I put it in my CD Player and was amazed to here such good music by this band... this band i thought was just going to be another hunk of scum on the CD market. Actually, the suprise came to be that it wasn't at all. Sugarcult's Start Static has a cool kind of thing in their music.. i really dont know what there is.. but i find it similar to American Hi-Fi ( Comparing BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS to FLAVOR OF THE WEAK ) ... Anyways, majority of the songs on this CD are ' superb ' and worth buying for just the few that really stand out. Customer Rating: Summary: The Good Days Of Sugarcult Comment: I love this cd. When I think of Punk I think of the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and of course Sugarcult. I've been listening to Sugarcult for quite a while now. My sister actually got me into this band when she used to live in California 3-4 years ago. The very first song i heard from them was "Say I'm Sorry." With lyrics like "If you wanna get down, wrap me up in plastic because i'm feeling pornographic now... I think i'm feeling sick again we're making up with sex again," who wouldn't laugh and enjoy them. Start Static overall is a great cd. I love every song on it. My favourite on here would have to be "Hate Every Beautiful Day" because it's the perfect song to listen to on a bad day when nothing's going your way. Pump this up on your stereo and the bad day blues will slowly disappear. "Faces in the crowd, fake smiles for smiles... I wish it was raining because i hate every beautiful day." After the movie Van Wilder, who doesn't know "Bouncing Off the Walls?" This is a great song to listen to when you've had that right amount of sugar and caffeine together. Your heart rate goes up just listening to it because it gets you going. I love the way I feel just listening to it. "Pretty Girl (the way)" is my next favourite song. When i first heard it i'd just gotten out of a relationship where i was cheated on and i listened to this song for 17 hours straight on repeat. It's one of those songs that you can't get tired of. I really love it. You feel a connection with it. HAHAHA, now to a song that we sing to my friend, "You're the One." Lol. This song has been dubbed hers by all of her friends. She drives all of us crazy but we love her. This song has a very good beat, it makes you wanna dance, and bang your head around. "How Does it feel" has this awesome guitar going in the beginning. I just wanna dance to it as well. "Well i'm back for some more, round two was a bore... and it's 1:45 and i'm feeling alive, i've got it all and it's your last call. There's somebody new and she's better than you. You've been replaced by a prettier face, so look who's crying now..." OVERALL THIS CD IS GREAT. Even though Amazon doesn't carry "Wrap Me In Plastic" this is a great substitute for it. This cd gives you Sugarcult straight foreward. Customer Rating: Summary: One of 2001's best power pop albums Comment: Start Static is an excellent CD, full of songs most can relate to. I have to say that Start Static is more "punky" or alternative than Palm Trees And Power Lines (which really only has 2-3 good songs, and they're all singles). The only bad thing about this album (and it's not Sugarcult -- or its label's -- fault. It's that half of the songs on this album are heard in the film Van Wilder ("Bouncing Off the Walls", "Stuck In America", "How Does It Feel" and the rest of Start Static is plastered all over Van Wilder's DVD menus). 14-17 year old males is really this album's demographic, but so is Van Wilder. Start Static would probably sound dull to anyone who bought this CD because of the film. If you like, say, uh... Fall Out Boy or, oh, American Hi-Fi (also on the Van Wilder soundtrack), you'll like Sugarcult. Recommended. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: This Santa Barbara band may look like The Jam, but they sound like surf punks with English degrees. Named after seven lesbians who lived across the hall from singer-guitarist Tim Pagnotta and dubbed themselves "sugarcult," this band fill the airwaves with their own brand of clever wretchedness, constantly veering between hardcore and pop punk, attempting to be all things to all listeners. And they come pretty close with their aerobic, bombastic drumming, nimble guitar work, and Pagnotta's sneering vocals. Luckily, they listened to enough Green Day and Elvis Costello to put a witty face on their spewing invective about dislocation, alienation, and tales of love gone bad that lands just this side of insincere. --Jaan Uhelszki
