now let's take a trip down memory lane as i review this album but the duo whom make up "the eletric soft parade" the band whom had alot of promise when this album came out 5 years ago in the good old times of 2001 i was just gettin' into good rock music and abandondin' my less musical taste of "artful dodger craig david" i was hugely into oasis and this band had the brit-pop feel but not so far down memory lane that they sounded date

I'd heard a lot about this cd, and was excited to play it. I kept waiting, and waiting for a tune that would stick with me. No compelling melodies, or any reason to hear any song twice.

I suppose it was somewhat experimental (not a bad thing), but there was nothing to take home at the end of the journey.

Some songs do get annoying after awhile, which is why I gave it four stars instead ... Read More

What makes an album unforgettable? Well, I guess everyone has a different opinion on that, but for me balance is the main criteria while evaluating an album. Oke, so an album has a couple of nice songs on it, but that makes it legendary? No, an album becomes legendary when ALL songs reach a certain admirable level. This is definitely the case with ESP's Holes in the Wall album. Fans of Muse, The Verve & Mercury Rev should pay attention because this album might just represent the coming out of a band ...
