Point! Click! Buy!.......2006-11-05

Hey, if you like Roxette's sound at all and you've stumbled into this cd that starts used for about a buck, you really can't go wrong here.

I bought it a few months ago, and about half the songs I like a lot and about half I could do without, and I won't waste your time by going through a track-by-track listing as others have done. But I will say that "Crash Boom Bang" ranks as one of the great Roxette ballads of all time, and "Lies" is one of the catchiest rockers they've ever done.

Oh yeah, and "Love is All" is like the Roxette take on the "Hey Jude" approach where you get into a riff and just run it over and over into the ground. Great stuff!

So, listen to some sound samples, and if you like it at all then you know what to do!

would have been exceptioanal with a couple of minor changes.......2006-09-26

This album seems to fit into three categories for me. The harder rocking songs on the album- HArleys and Indians, which is a reasonable opener. Sleeping in my car, which is ok, but blatantly written to rock up the album which is mainly leaning towards a more ballad approach. 'Lies' which has a good riff and a catchy chorus and the terrible track 'I love the sound of crashing guitars'. The title is poor and the tune is completely unmelodic. The middle eight part 'the six string kick inside' sounds just like the riffs in 'do you get excited', which demonstrates to me this song was also poorly thought out and under developed.

Then there are the mid tempo pop songs. 'Fireworks' is the first of these, an enjoyable Per led verse and even catchier Marie chorus. Understandably released as a single it is quirky. Then there is 'Do you wanna go the whole way', which is so tacky in the lyrical department, I can't really like it too much. It is ok, but with the constant pattern constantly repeating it soon tires, and is a bit of filler really. The only other weakish track except crashing guitars.

The remaining 9 tracks are all ballads and are all successes. There are the orchestrated ballads. 'Crash boom bang' is a nice Marie led ballad with orchestral passages. 'Run to you' is ever so slightly generic, but I really like the acoustic guitars and the orchestral accompaniment. 'Vulnerable' is absolutely beautiful with swooning violins and a nice melody by Per. A lovely song.

Apart from the aforementioned track, the two acoustic ballads are my faves on here. 'first girl on the moon' is a gorgeous acoustic rhythm led ballad, with harmonic and nice piano work. Prob my fave from the album is 'place your love' the melodies and interwoven horn melodies in the instrumental passage here is simply heaven and the lyrics are strong. A fantastic song.

The two sad ballads are also really strong 'What's she like' is the stronger of the two:- Nice awash of keyboards and synthesiser sounds and a good middle eight. 'I'm sorry' is also lovely and has a memorable chorus.

'Love is all' is the first song that Roxette did that is anthem like and almost slightly progressive at the same time. Nice ballad parts of the song, excellent singing and the guitar solo is first class.

'Go to sleep' is a nice closer to the album. A lullaby. Pure and simple.

A fantastic album, but at 15 tracks, it could have been cut. There is no need for Per to have a quota of rock songs on an album, if the ballads are as strong as this. 'Crashing guitars' should have been a B-side, with 'do you wanna go the whole way' and the still only b-side track 'the sweet hello the sad goodbye', their best song ever, should have been included. Reprogramming track 9 as this track, and cutting out track 11, makes a 5 star album of beauty. As it is, this is a 4+

A Change will do you good.......2006-06-07

This album took a while to grow on me. I bought it when I was in Germany, and after Tourism it kind of took a different turn. But after a while, like fine wine it did.
I think it has got less of that blues souly feel that Joyride has, Tourism was almost folky country, this has a more rocky, even metal feel to it, but perhaps I wouldn't go that far. It also has a nice acoustic element to it.
Harleys and Indians - is an awesome opener to the album, could have been a rocky single to make people stand up and take notice, cool lyrics, awesome harmonica. Whats best about Per.
Crash Boom Bang - is beautifully melancholic, funny that it was the title track to the album though. The video to this is awesome and really captures the song. Perhaps if they had called the album Harleys and Indians it would have sold more. But this is a great ballad nevertheless. I must say though that Roxette are too well known for theiir melancholic ballads when their Catchy Rocky songs are just as good and perhaps lyrically better.
Fireworks - This is an underrated single. Cool video on this song. Great lyrics about two girls on a road trip. Could have been an after the fact soundtrack to Thelma and Louise. A folk quirky funky rock song a bit reminiscent of Joyride.
Run To You - I guess there are too many songs called Run To You to have made this a hit. I was a bit surprised this was a single to be honest. But it does conjure up images and has a nice inbetween bit about churches and lonely roads.
Sleeping In My Car - Now this is a rocky song with a cool beat, but I have to say a bit lyrically poor and this is why I would have liked some of the other songs to be the singles. Nevertheless catchy. And it did make it to Number 11 in NZ I think or was it number 20.
Vulnerable - A great song and needed some radio play over here but never got it. A really heartfelt number and Per is great on this with the violins and everything. Nice lyrics. Should have been a hit.
The First Girl On The Moon - Now this is one of the greatest tracks on the album. Would have been a great single. And would have seen girlpower stand up and take notice. Love the dogs at the beginning and the harmonica. Great lyrics. A nice acoustic song.
Place Your Love - I really like this song. It is a bit reminsicent of Friday Im in Love by The Cure, but with Per's stamp. I like the bridge in this song and the guitar riff is neat. Another nice acoustic song.
I Love the Sound of Crashing Guitars - I thought when I first heard this it was a bit dumb but now I think it is not so bad. A tribute I guess to Pete Townshend and I like the lyric "Hey you long haired vintage Jesus.
What's She Like - Now this is a really nice song. Could have been a single. It builds up beautifully to the "I never knew..."
Marie milks the lyrics in this. Heartfelt. Mmmm. Shes at her best here.
Do You Wanna Go The Whole Way - The shaker is interesting on this song. Nice verses - not so sure about the chorus though.
Lies - Quite a rocking song - could have been a single to to make a stir. Both Per and Marie song. Great opening line. Catchy
I'm Sorry - This is a really nice song too. Lyrically nice. Nice bridge again from Per - "Time makes a stop". Remisncent of Queen of Rain a bit. Catchy.
Love is All - Now this is a great song and nice and long. An epic. I wish they did more like this where they dragged it out and milked it for all its worth. Like Meatloaf and Stairway toHeaven and Bohemian Rhapsody and November Rain. Big long 9 or 10 minuters. This is a philosophical or spiritual song too which is nice instead of just singing about broken hearts all the time.
Go To Sleep - And what a great little lullaby to end the album. Some of the most awesome lyrics in this song too. I like the line "Life's a tough principal..." and "Love's a golden ripple". Could be used for quote of the days.
All in All an awesomely arranged album in terms of song order. Maybe a bit two sided like a tape which is what I first bought it on although now I own it on CD. Brings back a lot of memories. Wish it had done better in the charts.
Adios.

Not as uniform as Joyride or Have A Nice Day, but a great album........2006-04-12

While this album does not quite achieve the overall high standards of Joyride - it's never bad, but there are some songs that are so-and-so, like Harleys & Indians, Vulnerable and I Love The Sound Of Crashing Guitars - overall, this is an excellent pop album, and if you like Roxette, you will not be dissapointed. I still think Joyride and Have A Nice Day are better albums, but if you have those and are thirsty for more, don't let the poor sales of this album hold you back, because it desserved much better.

Highlights would deffinitely be the amazing title track - the best song the group ever did? - the mid-tempo pop/rock ballad of Run To You, the acoustic duo of The First Girl On The Moon and Place Your Love and the lush pop-songs What's She Like? and Go To Sleep.

The uptempo singles Sleeping In My Car and Fireworks and the ballad I'm Sorry are also among the better songs here, and while I think Love Is All (Shine Your Light On Me) perhaps takes on a bit more than it can actually bear with it's 6.41 running time, it's still a fine track, and a daring move.

Do You Wanna Go The Whole Way? and Lies have an undeniable hit quality, but is not the best works of the group, and as I said, Healeys and Indians and I Love The Sound Of Crashing Guitars was probably the closest the group got to being mediocre - without quite being it, though. Also Vulnerable might seem a tad overproduced, but still manages to go home as a fair balad.

Crash!Boom!Bang! is not quite the masterpiece of Joyride and Have A Nice Day, but it's very good, and contain a lot of excellent pop songs. Recommended to everyone who know and like the band.

OVERALL RATING: 8/10.

Very Underrated, But Every Bit As Good As Joyride!!.......2005-12-24

Crash!Boom!Bang! does sound more like an alternative rock CD, than a pop one. I'm a pretty big fan of Roxette, so that didn't bother me at all. It's still really damn catchy! Like Joyride, every single song is great on this, and there isn't any filler. They even put two acoustic songs on here, "The First Girl On The Moon," and "Place Your Love," and they are both excellent. My favorite tracks on here are "Fireworks," "Run To You," "Do You Wanna Go The Whole Way?" "Sleeping In My Car," "Lies," "Go To Sleep," "Harleys & Indians," "Vulnerable," and "Crash!Boom!Bang!"

If you like Look Sharp! and Joyride but don't have this one, you're really missing out. Crash!Boom!Bang! might not have sold as well as those two, but the sales doesn't mean that this isn't as good. I also recommend getting Have A Nice Day, too!

Beat in Germany...YES!.......2007-04-07

Personally my favorite music is called "Beat".
Beat music from 1962 to 1966 in any language appeals to me. Just by looking at the cover of this CD, I knew it would be great. The Rattles '62 to '65 was good...really good! If you like the Beatles early stuff but are tired of listening to those same old songs you will definitely like this! They are not a copycat group either. The songs are fresh interpretations, done the "Rattles" way. All the tracks are in English except a few, but the booklet is in German, alas....as with all the Smash, Boom, Bang series booklets in their CDs. But that doesn't matter. The music speaks for itself. "Sunbeam at the Sky" and "What do you want with my Baby"-exciting and outstanding!...songs I never heard of before until now.
Check out other Smash, Boom, Bang titles!...THIS IS MUSIC!!

Oh my gosh, the Beatles stole these guys act!.......2007-03-14

The Rattles shoulda be as big as the Beatles maybe bigger!

First album without Paulette.......2004-03-20

We all had our doubts about the future of Highway 101 following the departure of their lead singer. As things turned out, it was a disaster in commercial terms but they did their best. Paulette's replacement was Nikki Nelson, a bubbly lady with a great singing voice. Whereas Paulette's voice was husky, Nikki's was smooth. Nikki was with Highway 101 for two albums. Both, to my ears, are of a high quality and sit proudly alongside the other Highway 101 albums I own.

The big hits from this album were the title track (an upbeat, fun song) and The blame (a reflective ballad), which both just made the country top ten. A third single, Honky tonk baby, made the country top thirty. The one that got away is Restless kind - this was later covered, first by Trisha Yearwood then by Travis Tritt.

Another outstanding song, Wherever you are, was recorded at around the same time by Joy White, a brilliant singer who never made the big time but made some great music. There is one real oldie here, a cover of the Tammy Wynette classic, Till I get it right. I note that Trisha included a cover of this song on the same album (Thinking about you) as Restless kind - I suspect that she may have enjoyed this album.

The other songs - Storm of love, Baby I'm missing you, Desperate and Big city bound - are all excellent.

If you enjoy Highway 101's more famous music with Paulette, you'll love this too.

it crashed .......2006-04-06

this is a bit of a topical debate amoungst Roxette fans.this is a shorter version of crash boom bang that was sold through a certain fast food chain during 1994 when you could buy a meal and get the cd or cassette cheap.it sold over a million in the U.S so when it recieved its official release most rcord stores refused to stock it meaning it missed the charts.it has alot of tracks missing but is still a great album and a must buy if you are a fan
