There's a goofy stoner charm about the Docs' fourth album. Unpretentious boogie jams like the single "She Used to Be Mine" and unlisted "That's The Way (I Like It)" is a bonus giggle. --Jeff Bateman

garbage..........2004-10-06

not to bash the doc's...but this is the worst ive heard. I bought "Pocket Full of Kryptonite" on a whim, absolutely loved it, and bought this album just 20 minutes ago. simply awful...redundant, whiny, the vocals barely held a note. the only bearable song is sister sysiphus. If you like their sound, get pocket full of kryptonite.

Good Times, Good Music.......2004-06-28

Youve got to believe in something is the soundtrack to the happiest times in my life. I bought it when I was 15 years old back in 1996. It is such an optimistic happy record with much heart and soul. If wishes were horses, Bout A Train and I cant believe youre still with her are 3 really good tunes to go along with all the other wonderful music on this record. Spin Doctors are truly one of the most underated bands in a long time because for whatever reason only their first album(and some recognition for their sophmore record) was recognized. This album would definitely be in my pick for one of the top ten of the decade. I bought it in 96' and I still love it today.

Their Finest Work.......2001-01-10

The Spin Doctors are one of the most underrated bands of the past decade, and the commercial failure of this album is truly a crime. You've Got to Believe In Something recaptures in the momentum they had on Pocketful of Kryptonite, and in some cases, it even surpasses it. Unlike the second album (Turn It Upside Down --- a good one, but a little tired-sounded), this album is brimming with their familiar funk-rock-blues synthesis, and with energy and vigor. You've Got to Believe In Something is also the title of the opening tract. It's a bit different for the Spin Doctors, but it rocks, in fact, it even has a soulful sound to it. House has a lot of acoustic guitar in it in addition to the customary electric one, but it is a fun song that I would describe as I rock with a hip-hop influence. Dogs On A Doe is the albums one weak spot. It doesn't really fit on hear, and the doesn't sound all that great. I Can't Believe You're Still With Her is a pop song with excellent lyrics and a fun sound. She Used to Mine is the real treat on this CD though. It has everything --- a funky sound, great singing, a soulful chorus, and wonderful lyrics. It really, REALLY should have been a hit. She's Not You is slow, sad, and touching song. The next track, To Make Me Blue, is a marked contrast --- a very energetic rock song. 'Bout A Train is one of the best rock-blues songs you'll ever here. I can't do it justice ... you simply have to hear it for yourself. Where Angels Fear To Tread and If Wishes Were Horses are both very enjoyable pop songs, especially the latter (a bit goofy, but still great). Sister Sisyphus is a feast if you like funk-rock, like I do. Last but not least, there is the unlisted tract, a cover of That's The Way I Like It. It's obvious that the Spin Doctors had a lot of fun recording it, and I certainly have fun listening to it, although the part in the middle is ..... well, interesting (you'll see what I mean). On the whole, I was very impressed with both the music and Chris Barron's singing, and I think this is the band's strongest album lyrically. Also, it is just plain fun to listen too --- a good thing to pick you up when you're a bit blue --- upbeat, yet at the same time not overly perky or pop. People who turned away from this album don't know what they are missing.

Wonderful. . ........2000-08-05

I am an oddity, as far as Spin Doctors fans go. The first SD album I bought was Here Comes the Bride, which I bought on a whim because I had heard their songs "Two Princes" and "Little Miss Can't be Wrong" and thought that they were good. I enjoyed Here Comes the Bride a lot (even though they sounded quite a bit different than they did on those two singles, I had little idea of their history at that time) and wanted more of the Spin Doctors great instrumental expertise and wacky lyrics. I spent a few months hunting for PFOK (cuz I knew it was their most popular, and their first mass-released album) and finally found it in the back corner of a Sam Goody's (in the Tri-Cities of Washington) slowly gathering dust.

I was delighted by their old sound, and that album solidified me as a die-hard Spin fan. I just recently got this album (their third mass-released) and was again delighted by it. It sounds a bit different than PFOK, and a lot different from HCTB, but it is still vintige Spin Doctors, and again shows their evolution as artists.

This album, needless to say, is great. Check out the title track, for it's joyful chorus. And the sad love song that is "She's not You." It brings a singular tear to my eye. Also notable at "Sister Sisphyphus", and their hidden track "That's the Way (I like it)", (stick around for the kazozs bit at the end of the song, it's very funny).

I recommend this CD to anyone who likes the spin doctors (or their singles), anyone who likes cheerful, soulful, and a bit goofy songs, and anyone who likes good music.

Keep the chee up, y'all.

Exellent!.......2000-01-03

Why the heck did this album fail? Its a fun album only the Spin Doctors could pull off. The single (she used to be mine) is a little repetitive, but all the other songs are really strong. The docs should have released Sister Sysiphis as a single, thats the best song on the CD. its totally funky. House sounds a lot better live, but the bridge was really cool on this CD. Buy it! Its worth it!

A bargain collection of showtunes.......2005-08-19

This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.
