1 out of 5 stars Not as good.......2005-05-10

Personally I felt that this album can't even compare to "East To West" and "Stand Your Ground". I found that I couldn't get into any of these songs on this album.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing CD, Revival of true rock and roll!!.......2004-06-17

This CD is amazing, I dont have enough good things to say about it. From beginning to end. It's definately the most original record i've heard so far this year. They showcase many different styles, like rock, punk, dub, reggae, and pop and combine them together for a sound that is reminiscent of early uk bands, but still uniquely there own. If you like rock bands like the clash, the jam, the ruts, and elvis costello and the attractions this records for you. In a music scene filled with copycats and wannabes madcap is a breath of fresh air. BUY THIS RECORD!!!

5 out of 5 stars Best Album Of The Year (so far).......2004-06-05

This is an unbelievable album! Madcap are incredibly talented, and the vocals are perfect. Johnny Madcap's voice is very reminiscent to early Sting in some songs, but as raw and energetic as any punk band out today, but better. This was an incredibly ballsy move for this band to branch out and evolve into a true rock-n-roll band instead of being the regular cookie cutter "punk" band. The Evolution of this band is similar to that of The Clash. This album is for fans of good music, if you don't like good music, don't buy it.

4 out of 5 stars A Pleasing pop punk endeavor.......2004-05-25

MADCAP'S forthcoming release, "Under Suspicion" is an ear pleasing punk rock endeavor with pop undertones. Their style is comparable to bands like MEST, FLASHLIGHT BROWN and from a production standpoint, SUM 41. Before you scream in horror after reading the name SUM 41, remember, it's their production values within the album that contain the similarities. MADCAP isn't a warp speed punk band nor are they a droning, sterilized and repetitive strumming punk band either. They lay somewhere in between with an average pace, some grinding guitars and vocals that don't tread into the depths of shattering croons. In truth, the beats and overall sound will elicit a lighthearted physical response. Of course, this is catchy aspect of pop punk found in most pop punk outfits. Most bands who play in this style seem generic and woefully contrived. Fortunately for MADCAP and their fans, they won't be tagged with this stereotype. They have touched up the genre with enough of their own flair to make them distinguishable from the hundreds of other pop punk bands. In regards to the music, you will feel comforted by the uncomplicated notes and before you know it, the music has burrowed itself into your brain. If you dare, listen closely to the lyrics because underneath the "happy-go-lucky" sound resides grave stories of life and disheartenment. In a way, this paradox proves that there is more depth to the band than you might initially give them after one listen. As far as pop punk goes, this was one of the more impressive releases you will hear this year.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent for a new Punk Band w/ a reminiscent old sound.......2004-04-01

I picked this CD up on a whim in record store, I saw it in shelf and decided to give this new LA punk quartet a try and glad I did. This is coming from a person who grew up listening to The Jam, The Replacements, Pixies, old REM & The Clash. So this was completely new for me. I have to say this album is amazing every track is appealing its reminiscent of The Clash & The Jam sound. The leads singers voice sounds like Elvis Costello a little bit. Stand out tracks are Under Suspicion which is my fave on CD, Searching for Ground, Lovesick, & Turnaround. But every track on here is good. I was very surprised for a new quote on qoute punk band. I can't get it out of my CD player. One of the best albums of 2004. Very catchy album find yourself humming to the songs, you will not skip tracks on this one.

1 out of 5 stars Chantal's Theme song finally found!!!!!.......2007-01-07

Very disapointed with the soundtrack, and gave up on finding Chantal's theme song. But then the other day i was listening to Massive Attack's cd "Collected", which BTW is a great cd,and when i heard the song titled "Teardrop" i realized it's that theme song, so enjoy :)

1 out of 5 stars Gravely dissappointed.......2005-05-25

The previous reviews and audio samples saved me from making a dreadful mistake. I am terribly dissappointed in the fact that the sensual music called Chantel's theme is not on the soundtrack. I would have brought the entire CD for this one track and now I discover that it's not even on there. The whole soundtrack consists of non discript latin music- to which I am definately not a fan. Signing off as saved by the bell. I will now try and locate this theme else where in cyberspace.

1 out of 5 stars Not the best tunes by a long shot........2005-05-08

I had hoped this CD contained the hauting intro music to the movie Under Suspicion with the inimitable Monica Belluci, but no. Someone posted that BT does this and the title is "Chantel's Theme" but so far I have been unable to find the single on iTunes or anywhere else. If anyone has any ideas they would be welcome. For others, avoid this CD unless you are in the mood for some uninspiring, unknown Latin diddys.

1 out of 5 stars Under Suspicion Soundtrack/BT connection.......2002-07-26

Just as Kristina stated in her review, this soundtrack can be very misleading. If you were captivated by sensual haunting theme through out the movie, it isn't on the soundtrack. The link you are looking for is by the artist BT who does many other well known soundtracks. I have been unable to pin point the exact cd this music is on, but if you want to do the searching yourself, the song is called "Chantel's Theme". Good Luck!

1 out of 5 stars Is it the same movie?!?.......2002-03-29

When I saw Under Suspicion, I heard an excellent down-beat music that realy depicted the movie's gloomy atmosphere. I was eager to hear the soundtrack. And - it is not good. It has some latin tracks that were in the background of the movie and not very good ones too. and so, all disappointed I can say - this CD [stinks]. No wander, no one else wrote review, it's not worth the bother.

        4 out of 5 stars Micky, Where Have You Been?.......2002-01-07

        Can Vital Signs by Survivor be complete without Micky Thomas backing vocal? He did great job in backing chorus of Everlasting adding high-tone vocal touch to this masterpiece Survivor track. He was great as real musician for sure representing the glory of Starship with or without Jefferson. He appears only one track Fly with only last chorus part but this is just the beginning of his comeback as solo artist. The guys who made this album which is one of the best melodic rock album of 2001 will be supporting coming Micky Thomas solo album as well. They got together while producing Jimi Jamison(Survivor)'s masterpiece solo album Empires. In Empires, Klay Shroedel excellently did mission impossible of recreating Survivor sounding album.

        Klay's song arrangement style as far as I heard from Empires and Under Suspicion debut, is close to Jim Peterik. So the sound is not as glamorous at first listen unlike prog-flavored bands such as Journey, Boston, or Styx. Simpler styled yet with meticulous hooks. I am sure he is one of the hopeful post Ron Nevison or John Kalodner producers.

        Highlights include Come Tomorrow, Hold On, blues flavored ballad, Starship/Survivor styled "Fly" and hard-edged rocker "Love Without A Net". Essential for melodic rock fans. Highly recommended for Survivor, Starship, and Two Fires fans.
