Lots of meat on them bones.......2006-11-07

There is a lot of better material on vinyl from these guys that has never been re-issued in a digital format, and that's a shame because this is a great band -- you'll think you've heard them before and then you realize that they invented a lot of what became cliches in the hands of less talented groups. This is probably the best intro to them available on CD -- there is another collection called "The Essential Radio Birdman" that has a lot of the same material (enough of it re-mixed to appeal to the collector) -- but this and "Living Eyes" are closer to the original sound and have a little less of the "greatest hits" quality. For the life of me I don't know why this band didn't get more attention but they are well worth listening to. A stripped down surf-punk sound that sticks with you.

Average customer rating: The Playroom 1996. The most important album of my life Great late-seventies action Finally you can stop looking for the vinyl Disappointing "classic" punk album

The Playroom 1996........2001-12-08

After loving this band for 10yrs in 1996 I finally got to see them live.Only 20 yrs after there home the Oxford Funhouse, where they rocked the sidewalk outside once a week with there energy.
The Playroom was packed from wall to wall.The Birdman rocked ths place silly sounding better than they did 20yrs before hand.No body who went to that gig will ever forget.
Birdman becomes engrained in you the hypnotic guitar riffs and the lyrics witch you get to choose what they mean.People may critisize them, its a pity they don't understand.The surfin sound from Oz, legends.

The most important album of my life.......2001-09-18

When I was a kid, my older brother had this album on vinyl. He still has it and won't sell it. I had never heard of the Stooges or MC5, but these guys beat the hell out of Kiss. This was the most amazing album I had ever heard. To this day, I never meet anyone who knows who they are. And when I play it for anyone, they look at me like I'm crazy.
So many people on the net now claim to know Radio Birdman as some great punk godfathers. I knew nothing of punk at the time I first heard Radio Birdman. I later got into The Sex Pistols and then Suicidal Tendencies blew me away a few years later. But Radios Appear just rocked. It never held back any punches.
For a few years in the 90s I searched for this album at those Record & Tape Expos that roll through your town every year. Very rarely I would find someone who had heard of the album, but didn't have it. Luckily it was remastered and released on CD and everyone now has a chance to listen as two guitars weave and scream through these songs, each finding its own path while complimenting the other.
As a side note...kudos to Silverchair for covering New Race.

Great late-seventies action.......2000-06-24

Satisfying album for a fan of the late-seventies punk sound. Lots of great guitar leads. The band sounds like surfers at times; at others like the Buzzcocks. Recommended.

Finally you can stop looking for the vinyl.......1999-02-07

Great reissue of this truly outstanding record. From the Hawaii 5-0 tribute "Aloha Steve and Danno" (featuring possibly one of the coolest rock guitar leads ever) to the ripping cover of the 13th Floor Elevators' "You're Gonna Miss Me", this album is one of the greatest rock records of all time, and the CD sounds great. BUY THIS...IT ROCKS!!!!!!!

Disappointing "classic" punk album.......1999-01-02

After years of hearing how great and aggressive this particular "classic" punk rock album was, I plunked down 20 bucks and bought the thing. All I can say is while the band's heart is in the right place (nice lads trying to approximate an Aussie Iggy and the Stooges/Doors hybrid), their music doesn't quite cut the mustard. The playing is speedy enough, but it lacks the pure, nasty crunch of classic Ig. In fact, it's a little too cleanly played (like college kids trying to ape Robert Johnson on expensive guitars). "Radios Appear" isn't bad, but there's not anything here that hasn't been done better elsewhere (i.e. Pink Fairies). For true Aussie raunch and roll, check out Rose Tattoo's "Assault and Battery" or the Saints' "(I'm) Stranded" and bypass this sincere, but toothless effort.
