Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Catchy... At first. Comment: Very 80's New wave, potentially great but a bit too scattered for my tastes. Some of the songs are motivated and well written and others are just bland and forgettable. Customer Rating: Summary: Nostalgia satisfied Comment: Perhaps one of the better albums of 2004. One of those albums you can listen to again and again without feeling like you've heard it one too many times. Fun, melancholy at points, gloriously produced and an all around classic to be. Customer Rating: Summary: This Album and I Have Been Through Some Tough Times Together. Comment: In order to review 'Bright Like Neon Love', I'll have to tell you a little about myself. I work in a busy, busy kitchen. Food has to be made, practically from scratch, in minutes, or the customers ain't happy. Sundays, we can get run around for hours on end without time to pause for even a drink of water, let alone to change the music on the stereo. One day, I could feel the energy in the air and somehow knew that we were about to be murdered by a mob of hungry patrons. Not having had this album for very long, I put my trust in it and set the stereo on repeat. As soon as Time Stands Still came out of its fog, for just one flicker of a moment, time did stand still; and during the next 5 hours I worked harder than I ever have in my life. Through the entire ordeal, this album played non-stop. I couldn't possibly have chosen a better work. Cut Copy is multi-faceted, mellow, synthy dance music that can endure critical scrutiny, or simply play endlessly in the background. It never tires, never offends, and never stops being good. Bright Like Neon Love is energetic without being pushy. And when you're stressed out, the last thing you want to start barking orders at you is your music. Customer Rating: Summary: bright baby bright Comment: from the moment I heard "Saturdays" I was sold. Gorgeous CD. Love the concept and how can you go wrong with music that makes you miss an era that you didn't live in? Customer Rating: Summary: best album I've heard in years Comment: This is a foookin great album. The whole thing has a same-ness of sound, but is really quite varied. Some of the tracks are straight up electro while some are guitar based rock, but they pull it all off with such ease. GREAT songs, that flow into one another easilly and effortlessly. People talk about the synths and guitars on this album, but the bass is what propels it all. Whether its synth bass or real (and same with the percussion), the driving bass lines make it possible for the guitars and keys to do their thing. 'Autobahn Music Box', 'That Was Just a Dream', 'Saturdays', 'Zap Zap', are all pretty much perfect pop songs. The music makes you want to dance like crazy, but the lyrics are all about lonliness, sadness, longing, yearning. Its perfect. 'The Twilight' rocks in a way that sounds a lot (musically, not lyrically) like early PiL, 'Bright Neon Payphone' is an amazing rocker that for me is the climax of the album. All of the rest of it builds up to this song where the depth of the sadness and lonliness alluded to in other places on the albums is really exposed. Its great songwriting, the music rocks, the whole overall sound is, well, its hard to top. Then the album finishes with 'A Dream', a perfect comedown from the rest of the album, slow, bouncy, wistful. The whole album is so damn pretty! Beautiful music, everything I love all blended together into one great record. way to guy cut copy! More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: The debut by Melbourne's Cut Copy is a collection of dream and love-laden tunes pulled together with Dan Whitford's inside-out knowledge of 80's flavored synths and studio trickery. Influences range from house to low-slung, fuzzed up punk garage, and seminal 80's raincoat-wearing Mancunian electro-pop to nouveau disco, often within one song. Impossible to pigeonhole. Pop and dance. Happy sad. Simple yet complicated. Sincere yet cool. Naive but clever.
