A little too much treble.......2007-07-12

I love the energy of the songs on this album, but I must criticize the mix. There is just too much treble, making this album painful to listen to on headphones. For this reason alone I am docking 1 star from an otherwise 5-star album. I hope that on their next album they can afford to hire a better studio and engineer.

Five Reasons Why I Didn't Like This Album.......2007-05-14

1. In high-school, I used to play in the marching band. Although the furtive pleasures to be found in the dark corners of a band bus still make me smile, I never found the football half-time shows that we played every autumn to be anything short of annoying. "Is this music anyone really wants to hear?" I wondered.

2. I am a teacher, and although I love my kids, they are also my job. The age groups that I've taught have run the gamut from five years old to fifty, and I've learned one very important lesson about myself. If I don't have to listen to prepubescent girls clapping their hands and chanting inanities about who's "number one," then I'm happy.

3. I love the poor little guy, but because he is a tragic figure (no matter how you look at it), a sad and bald little Sisyphus, Charlie Brown's theme song always (and I mean always) depresses me. Likewise with the theme song to "The Little House on the Prairie," although I can't as easily explain that one.

4. Like most people, I really DON'T want to go to your niece's piano recital.

5. In addition to containing all of the above elements, I found this album to be far too forced for me. If you want unrelenting rambunctiousness and corn-fed cheeriness, I won't think less of you for picking this album up, but I found it too much, the grating chaos of a musical garbage disposal. I don't mind a record trying to make me happy, but I prefer it to be tonally persuasive and compositionally compelling, rather than attempting to make its point through sheer exuberance. "The Go! Team" may have a lot of fans, but I'm skipping this half-time show.

Strange little booger.......2006-10-02

Eccentric, original, distinct and fun. Yet, spectacular 'tis not.

It goes down easy, especially at thirty minutes. It's headstrong in its peculiar style, and has an odd obsession with brass -- listen to that fanfare motif hiding under "Bottle Rocket"!.. just wonderful -- and harmonicas (?!). The vocals are as unique as anything I've heard, and generally speaking for the better, providing a musical experience that, in all, damned, honesty, I cannot compare to anything I've heard before. That, when I think about it, is a pretty extraordinary feat.

But it ain't all radiant goodness, friends. While it's little else than good times while it's rolling about with glee, it abruptly ends. And then it's done. Over. Gone. "What, is that it?" And, mind you, this question pops up every time I listen to it, so I predict I've allowed myself the due time to absorb it properly. None of the tunes are particularly striking, sans my favorite on the disc, the freaking ENCHANTING 'Huddle Formation', which is surely one of the most offbeat, giddy pieces of music I've heard in a decade. From my experience, most the people I've happily showcased the gem for have been either weirded out or confusingly unimpressed, but I shun them for such distaste, as is the correct thing to do. Moving on, the nature of the album elaborated, barely... The first track, "Panther Dash", pretty striking, with dazzling hooks and the introduction of the oft revisited harmonica. Yet, in only three minutes, it practically outstays its welcome, bringing forth little new ideas after the one minute mark; not a good sign. Then, on the other side of the spectrum, you've got a tune like "Feel good by Numbers", a waste of time and devoid of any spark even some of the more moderately amusing songs possess. When you release an album as short as thirty minutes, and end up throwing a song of such dreck in the mix (even if it's only two minutes), the more negative implications begin to shine forth.

Certainly it's not out of the question that I'm being too harsh on the album, but despite all of its innovative vibes, I'd feel a spear of guilt stabbing my chest if I were to rate this anything higher than a three. Three and a half, maybe, but even that could be pushing it. By no means is this not worth hearing, and those more fixated on creative virtue than anything just might be in heaven, but I prefer a little more, lasting oomph to my music. Good stuff, but little more, me thinks.

Good, but...........2006-08-13

Ok, I love this cd to death. It's cool that the US version has "We Just Won't Be Defeated" and "Hold Yr Terror Close," but in all honesty you're better off paying for the import version. As much trouble as their label went through to clear all the samples from the original UK release, they couldn't get them all. And songs like "The Power is On," "Bottle Rocket," and "Huddle Information" really suffer without the female MC samples on the verses. Trust me, buy the import instead. It's pure genius.

it's hard to listen to this album without smiling........2006-08-07

the go! team are so much fun. cheesy daytime television music looped with old-school hip hop and a cheerleader shouting over it. if you deny enjoying this album, you simply have no soul. the go! team stole the show at lollapalooza 2006, had about 50,000 people dancing and singing like no one was watching, and held more energy than any band i've ever seen in my life. the go! team are amazing in every aspect.

The most FUN album of 2005.......2006-04-18

It wasn't quite the best album of 2005 (#4 on my list), but it was definitely the most sheer FUN of any album last year. Ian Parton (guitar/harmonica) went the Fat Boy Slim route, mashing together samples and adding live instruments. Parton took brass and string riffs from '60s Fifth Dimension and Supremes albums, documentary sound clips of cheerleaders, etc., and put together an unbelievably happy sounding album. In a time full of gloomy bands that sound upset to be alive, the Go! Team is refreshing and then some. The band pictures show six members, but it's hard to know whether the other five had much part in the album. Frontwoman MC Ninja only appears on two songs. The singles "Ladyflash" and "Bottle Rocket" are the two best tracks, both irresistible. The upbeat instrumentals "Junior Kickstart" and "Friendship Update" aren't far behind. "The Power Is On" and "Huddle Formation" include the cheerleader clips. The biggest problem with the album is that Parton was working with a 4-track recorder in his basement, and purposely using methods to make the sound defiantly lo-fi. As a result, the recording (especially the samples that most songs are based around) sounds tinny. This is a four-and-a-half star album.

kick start pop.......2005-11-30

Although it's only available right now as a slightly overprice import release, you should drop whatever you're doing and hunt down Thunder, Lightning, Strike by The Go! Team just as soon as you can. I'll admit that I'm one to be as cynical as anyone (especially these days) and that I tend to like my music more on the melancholy side of things for the most part, but this debut release from the UK boys and girls sextet has got hooting and hollering along with it. Part cheerleading routine, part Jackson Five, part guitar-fuzz, and part hip-hop mashup, it's comes at you fast and furious and blows out your ears in 10 tracks and just over a half-hour running length.

One of the best things about the group is that they for the most part play all their instrumentation rather than sample it. Upon first hearing this release, I thought the release was a crossfader smashing excursion into ripped samples and overdubs, but after seeing short clips of the group rip it up live with instrumentation (and a bit of sampling), I'm fully convinced (not that I would have been any less impressed had they done it the other way around). The album wastes no time getting rolling, as the opener of "Panther Dash" busts out of the gate with a 70s TV theme-show drum rumpus as a harmonica and guitar team up for a good natured showdown.

From there, the listener is hardly able to catch a breath as "Ladyflash" again busts loose with weird vocals and flutes that almost sound like Bollywood (chants of "We're here to rock the microphone" included) while "Junior Kickstart" sounds like a hyper-saturated theme containing bits from every cool car-chase sequence or Warriors-style throwdown lead-in done in the past 20 years. It doesn't really matter that half the time you can't make out the lyrics and the other half they're simply chants to "rock" or countdowns to bring that beat back because the group flys by the seats of their pants with such reckless abandon that it's hard not to get caught up by it all.

So yes, the group might be fluffy, and while they call to mind all the references mentioned above and then some, they do it in a way that makes it all sound fresh and fun again. Hearing Thunder, Lightning, Strike for the first time will probably give you sorta the same feeling you had when you first heard When I Left You by The Avalanches. You know you've heard the parts before, but you've never quite heard them put together in a way that the group has done it, and for that they put a grin on your face and a little bit of shuffle in your step. Easily one of the most fun releases of the year. If this thing ever gets better distribution, all Top 40 pop tartlets best watch their backs, because I have a feeling The Go! Team knows ninja moves.

(from almost cool music reviews)

An overlooked unique sound - Another great one!.......2005-09-19

Track 5 on "Thunder, Lightning, Strike", "Get It Together" is the hit theme song to a hit TV show that hasn't been made yet and doesn't yet realize it's the perfect song for them. Until then, it's a perfectly bright, mood-enhancing, some might say Power Song, inevitably annoying when you just want to be left alone to stew in one's own crap, but you just can't stop hearing it everywhere.

But it isn't everywhere -- yet.

Get into it before someone you hate buys the rights to associate it with their product and ruins it for you.

And the entire album extends that good feeling. I imagine myself running around the yard with kids to this album. I imagine myself joining the coolest cheerleading team ever to dance to this album -- and I usually hate the idea of myself cheerleading. I imagine every minute I listen to this album is another minute banishing gloom from my life.

Where the heck's the buzz for a work as positive and genuine and accessible as this???

People I talk to keep complaining about how everything they hear sounds the same, but almost no one goes out of their way EVEN JUST A LITTLE to find great stuff by folks making new, exciting POP MUSIC like the Go! Team. This album still has time to prove itself in the marketplace in the US, although it has been around a long while in the UK, but The Go! Team are just one of dozens of artists releasing albums in the last few years that have hit the proverbial wall in terms of the tight control very few channels (distribution, media, labels) have on music. It's not James Joyce, people, but neither is it the bland crap people buy because they only put money down for what they're sold; they only get what they're told to.

Saying that will probably cost me points from people rating this review, but I'm frustrated by the amount of hype it takes to get people to think something is any good. Folks won't change their habits, and put most of their hard earned dollars into the same-stuff-different-day, all the while complaining about the very system they perpetuate.

Meanwhile, most of you are missing great fun stuff like Go! Team, and Michael Franti, The Decemberists, Ben Lee, OK Go, Art Brut, Bob Mould, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, The Blue Van, The BellRays, Pansy Division, The Raveonettes, Silversun Pickups, Bouncing Souls, Girlyman, Disappear Fear, The Bobbleheads, Willy Mason, Bright Eyes, Coheed & Cambria, Louis XIV (y'all will probably come to know those last three sooner rather than later), Matisyahu, Gogol Bordello, Architecture In Helsinki, and even the latest by Garbage. Among others: I'm just scratching the surface here. (While we're on variety, don't get hung up on the variety of genres represented in that list - it's all -- well, I was gonna say Hits Radio-friendly, but hits radio has been nothing but hostile to anything not already pre-sold and pre-digested, for that matter, for decades.) There's so much great music out there ignored by the powers that be, so you gotta find it yourself.

Don't wait to be sold. The old paradigms are over. You can find out about great music without dealing with media who have lost your trust. Go to bands' websites. (Start with those listed, perhaps.) Listen online to alternative media (I recommend a search on "altrockradio", but there are many others.)

Student's View.......2005-08-16

I lay this album for 12 hours.. straight.. everytime i have a political science test. Perfection. Sitting in a quiet library sets the perfect ambience for learning. Otherwise it a pretty amazing album. I saw it in GQ which is why i bought it and i havent been disapointed.

One of the best CD's of 2005. Seriously. Hear for yourself.......2005-07-20

The Go! Team are actually a collective of musicans from the UK, but you would think 'Thunder Lightning Strike' was the product of a think-tank of production wizards pushing rock-based electronica to it's highest level. This in fact isn't electronica, but it does embody that same inventiveness to create dense sheets of sound.

'Thunder Lightning Strike' combines the infectious melodies of 70's soundtracks, everything from TV programs, commercials, to Schoohouse Rock. But don't let this fool you, this CD still rocks, self-contained energy unleashed as animated pastiches of sound. The album is sprinkled with music-confection, eg, bouncy pianos, horns, and harmonica, almost like the playful spirit of Japanese pop/rock meeting big-beat artists like The Chemical Brothers and The Propellerheads.

The template is much like The Avalanches, but more intoxicating, fusing 70's orchestral kistch with rock swagger. Probe a little further and you'll detect hints of jazz/lounge film-scores, electronic grooves of Lemon Jelly, quirky turntablism of Cornelius, and the gung-ho chants of Bis. Running at just under 40 minutes, 'Thunder Lightning Strike' was the only release that actually made me stand-up and take notice. Innovative, lush, dynamic, and just plain brilliant. Never heard of this? Now you have. It's your turn to take a listen.

Perhaps I should start by admitting a bias: Many years ago, lying on Boston's grassy Esplanade by the Charles River on warm summer nights, I learned what a symphony orchestra should sound like, with Arthur Fiedler conducting the Boston Pops Orchestra. Those concerts were free; these seven compact discs are not--not quite. But for any lover of light classical music, they are certainly one of the best buys available. The orchestra (essentially the Boston Symphony) is one of the world's greatest; the music, from Smoke Gets in Your Eyes to the Goyescas Intermezzo and Ride of the Valkyries is instantly enjoyable and permanently valuable; the conductor is at the same time genial and exacting, convinced that any music you play, no matter how frivolous, deserves the best you can give it. --Joe McLellan

Definitly one of my favorite classical CD's....has a bit of everything, and it's all extremely well played and recognizable. I never go on car trips without it with me. If you buy only one classic CD (set), THIS IS IT!
