music to drive fast to............2005-11-12

My best friend recently bought a sports car with a 300 horsepower V8 engine and asked me to recommend an album to play while driving REALLY fast. Without a second thought, I recommended Libido Speedway. I bought the album 5 or 6 years ago, and it remains a favorite. The music is catchy, aggressive, and great to listen to - especially on the road. The guitar is crunchy, and there's something very appealing to me about their basslines. It's disappointing that a band that could rock so hard never quite broke through, but in Libido Speedway they left behind a gem of an album. My favorite tracks are the opener - Yeah - and #8 - Noctournal Overdrive. Those two stand out, but every song on here is worth listening to. None of them disappoint. Also, if you can find them, I would recommend the Orbit single "I Wanna Make You", and the La Mano e.p.

One of the greatest albums ever.......2004-05-24

I saw this CD in Target one day and it was super cheap. I had never heard of the band or anything. I put it in my car CD player and it did not come out for over a month. It is hard to describe my amazement at how great this album was. It starts out fast and just keeps blaring. However, the lyrics and musicianship is amazing as well. Moreover, if you keep listening after the final track, there is a little bonus diddy that is impossible to get out of your head. I know that this band is no longer together, but I have bought their other CDs through the internet and they are great recordings as well. I don't for mentioning specific song title here, because all of the songs are equally great! If you find this CD some place, buy it! You will not regret it.

A grunge classic... revisited........2002-03-23

I saw these guys in Portland, OR, opening for L7. I can't find words for how awesome they were. This is one of my all time favorite albums, which I revisit again & again. Every song has it's own appeal, but Nocturnal Autodrive is my favorite.

well, not quite *that* good........2002-03-16

I searched for this cd for ages after the single "medicine" started getting airplay several years ago and caught my attention despite a bassline that's a bit too reminiscent of that of "bone machine" by the pixies. And for the most part the rest of the songs are every bit as good, catchy mid-90's alternative with big hooks and some well-used pixies-isms. here and there there's a song that seems a bit too generic to my ears to make a dent (hence the 4), but they're outnumbered by stand out numbers like "bicycle song" and "nocturnal autodrive". And there's an amusing little fake out ending to the whole thing as well.

What a surprisingly great CD, from a not too well known band. These guys really rocked out on this album, however I have heard some of their new stuff which is not even close to the greatness of this CD. Every song on this CD really rocks, if you are down with alternative, and love to rock out, definetly check out Libido Speedway.
