Excellent.......2006-11-19

I have been a fan of Five since 1997 and followed them since. This is my favorite CD of theirs! It's got something for everyone. This album is so fun to dance to. September 27, 2006 they announced their comeback on MTV. I am looking forward to their new music and more great albums from them!

The best album!!!.......2006-06-29

It was amazing. I have all the albums of Five, but Kingsize is the best. "Let's dance", "Lay all your lovin' on me", "Rock the party", "Hear me now", "Feel the love" and "We're going all night" are the best songs. Five was the best boyband in the world! It's a pity they don't sing anymore!

Very disappointing.......2005-10-20

I have been with 5ive from the beginning, so I was really excited to finally get Kingsize. With songs like "Cold Sweat" and "Don't Wanna Let You Go," I thought this would be the best album I've ever gotten. But, I was wrong. Horribly wrong. This album had too much bubble gum pop, stale bubble gum pop, and not enough of the edgy, bad-boy beats that made them famous in the first place.

Very good pop album.......2005-04-12

Listen to "Lay All Your Lovin' on Me" and you won't be the same person again! Doesn't seem like a song from a boysband!

Go get it.......2004-04-06

It's the best pop album ever. Go get it right now!

While Kingsize has some electronic beats thrown into the mix, the British band's pop-inspired psychedelic rock isn't much different from its earlier efforts. Fueled by Martin Carr's exciting guitar playing and infectious songwriting as well as by lead singer Sice's dramatic crooning, Kingsize exhibits the Radleys' many musical strengths. Infusing Beatlesque pop with modern guitar textures and trippy production techniques, the band walks a fine line between radio-friendly ditties and underground rock anthems. With songs like "Jimmy Webb Is God" and "Free Huey," Carr reveals himself as a clever lyricist with equally impressive abilities in the realm of guitar architecture. Although lacking the peaks of their classic Giant Steps album, this is a consistent effort from one of England's better rock ensembles. --Mitch Myers

1998 album for Creation by the British alternative act. 14tracks, including the single 'Free Huey'. Most of the tunesare harmony-laden pop numbers; a few find the groupventuring into dance territory. Mojo magazine picked'Kingsize' as their Indie Album Of

Customer Reviews:

Let the Sunshine Crash Into Our Souls.......2007-06-08

To me The Boo Radleys were the Best band of the 1990s, regardless of popularity. The band constantly changed and expanded their sound with each and every release-
From the shoegazing, My Bloody Valentine inspired sounds of 'Everything's Alright Forever' to the Summery kaliedoscopic 'Giant Steps' to their happiest, fun, pop album in 'Wake Up' containing The Boos biggest hit with Wake Up Boo! Then it was off to another album 1996's 'C'mon Kids' which was more of the opposite of 'Wake Up' a neo-psychadelic and dark anti-pop type of album.
And then you have the Boo Radleys final release. 'Kingsize' in 1998. Influenced in different genres including soul, dance and jazz.
As much as lyricist Martin Carr strives to write simplicity through pop music - songs like "High As Monkeys" goes against the mold adding chamber music, drum machines and a stunning array of keyboard noises..."Let the Sunshine Crash into our Souls(one of my favorite Boo lines) indeed.
The Music and vocals reaches it's listener on all levels of emotions.
'Kingsize' offers the best vocals I have ever heard from lead singer- Simon Rowbottom a.k.a Sice, out of all The Boo Radleys studio albums.
The Music within is much more eclectic and experimental (in a quieter way) then any of The Boos' earlier works. Expanding pop music as far as pop can be taken. And this my friends, is one of the finest, most energetic Pop/Rock albums that I have ever heard.
I am not just saying that because The Boo Radleys are my Favorite band, no sir/miss. I truly do mean it with all my heart.
The lead off track sets the tone with a Oasis meets Aphex Twin like sound with the Powerful 'Blue Room in Archway'
Then it's off to a more jazzed up orchestrated piece in 'The Old Newsstand at Hamilton Square'
Track 3 is 'Free Huey' (hit) which may seem a bit repetitive. It is the most fun on 'Kingsize' and most upbeat. Singing : "And you know you Got to be All you can be" over and over as the chorus. A song influenced by Martin Carr after he read up on the Black Panther Party and based this song around that.
Now we get to one of the Main highlights/standout tracks the Beatle-like title track -'Kingsize' A song that Sice sounds his clearest and most pure, even angelic. Tops for me as far as his vocals go.
Critics have under-mined this album. They say(said) it's not continuing the same approach that previous albums suggested. It sounds out of step.
Well, I think that is a bunch of bologna. I don't give this album 5 stars based on the Band's previous releases. I give it 5 stars on the account of being a stand alone great album.
I like 'Kingsize' so much, that I would recommend this one first to a Boo Radley 'newbie'. Especially if you are not looking for a shoegazer type of sound, but just a solid Rock/pop album, Trust me you won't be disappointed with this.

Not the best way to call it a day.......2005-06-03

For a band with such a creatively rewarding career(especially the golden trilogy that preceded this album-Giant Steps,Wake Up,C'mon kids)Kingsize can be viewed as nothing else than a colossal disappointment,a major drying out of the fire they once undoubtely posessed.

While C'mon Kids had been a sprawling and colourful canvas of diamonds and quirky shifts in direction the boredom that haunts Kingsize borders on intolerable,or even annoying at times(particularly "Free Huey").

Evidently,for a band so accustomed to the craft of memorable pop songs some are found here but in an appalingly short quantity-the only standouts being"The old newstand at Hamilton Square","Monument for a dead century","Jimmy Webb is God","She's Everywhere" and thwe awesome "High as Monkeys".

I would recommend this album only to hardcore fans since it could give newcomers a completely different idea of what the Boo Radleys are all about but then again the choice is yours.

A Fine Bookend.......2002-08-18

Though they've parted, the music produced by the Boo Radleys should stand the test of time. Unfortunately there aren't a whole lot of people who know about this gem of a band. Formed in Liverpool in the midst of the shoegazer craze (see My Bloody Valentine, Chapterhouse) they created an impressive catalog of music through this swansong. Opening with slow and gentle guitar tune invaded by an Aphex Twin style drum machine beating and some weepy violin you won't be sure of what to make of it at first. I know I wasn't on first listen some 4 years ago. The collection of songs tap into many of the same themes that remained constant throughout the Boo's career - politics, anquish in love, anguish in loneliness, good friends. The highlight has to be 'Heaven's At The Bottom Of This Glass', an excellent melding of guitars, piano, percussion (including bongos and tambourine), horns, bass and Sice's ever-smooth voice. The album bounces from the highly energetic 'Free Huey' to the mellower, 70's AM-radio tinged 'Song From The Blueroom'. 'Comb Your Hair' manages to capture the essence of the bubblegum pop that was prevalent in the 50's. 'Monuments For A Dead Century' builds from acoustic guitar and flute into shimmering guitar and synthesized vocals and is a beautiful tune. The album doesn't suffer through any inconsistencies and maintains the pop mastery of The Boo Radleys throughout. It is a piece of work the band should be proud of and should be appreciated by their fans, new and old alike. It is unfortunate they weren't as recognized as they should have been for their craft. I highly recommend their '93 album Giant Steps as it is in my opinion the finest and most complete pop music album recorded in the 90's

We May Never Be This Young Again!.......2002-04-17

Anyone expecting to stare at their shoes and cry should not get this album. But if you want to hear one of the funnest, most catchiest, and just a dog-gone good album then cop this album. A far cry from "Everything's Alright Forever"; which I like very much, this album takes the great song writing from that album and throws it against feel-good rythms and beats. You'll find yourself singing and thinking about the great lyrics found throughout the whole album. This album will appeal to fans of their earlier recordings, with a few slow & soft songs that are terrific. But the up-tempo even "techno-ee" songs is what makes this album unique and great. Can't pick out any stand-out songs because literally all the songs on the albumt are great.

Rest In Peace to the Boo Radleys.......2000-12-14

After 6 diverse and exciting albums the Boo Radleys caleld it a day, although Martin Carr's recently released 'Fingertip Saint sessions' discs under the name Brave Captain are worth a go. It was a fine way to go out. Rarely has an album been inspired by classic pop, Britpop, Soul, Jazz and Electronic at the same time and not sounded like a pretentious mess. Highlight in my mind is Eurostar, where singer Sice's voice gloriously peaks and flows. The title track is equally beautiful, but it's tracks like High as Monkeys and Adieu CLo-CLo which are particularly unpredictable. The way the latter shamelessly samples Curtis Mayfield is a nice touch, and Sice's voice is again on top form. One mystery is why the excellent Put Your Arms... was not on the UK release as it's a lovely retro sound. Unlike may peopel I'm not that keen on the first 2 tracks, but after that the group is on top form. Lyrically Martin Carr si one of the best, and here he digs into tobacco companies (Monuments For A Dead Century's Philip Morris section), the Millenium (Monuments, Future is Now), and everythign else imaginable. With a few good old-fashioned love songs as well. This is probably their best album, although C'Mon Kids is up there if you like an edgy sound and Giant Steps has teh great elements of this, though it seems a bit looser. An under-rated gem.

This is a different band.......2006-05-17

This is an EP by the Grand National from Buffalo, NY, not the Grand National from London, England. Amazon is selling the CDs together as if they were the same band, so be careful.

Smells like Old Spice.......2003-07-28

A fantastic disc featuring five delicious originals, unfortunately the length leaves you wanting more. Anxiously awaiting more releases from this power/punk/pop quartet from Buffalo, NY. If you like these guys, drink some beer!

Nice.......2003-06-16

I just heard these guys in concert and live on the radio. They are the next Weezer but who thinks they sound like the Beatles? Grand National is one of the best Buffalo bands check out Klear also.

The Cd is excellent in recording sound. Very professional. There are 5 tracks, the whole Cd lasting a little more than 15 minutes. All songs are excellent; the sound is like new beatles. My personal favorite is track 5! Buy it now! ...

Tired of bands claiming in MC5 influence just because they're sloppy and can't write a decent song? Tired of awful post-grunge outfits claiming the mantle of rock & roll? Tired of bands turning music into nothing but a retro schtick? So are we! So without further ado we give you the Teenage Frames--a band that rocks with grace, brags excellent songwriting, and packs it in with total glam swagger.

WHOA!.......2005-10-10

I never heard of this band but my buddy james told me if i didn't really super like Green day I'd dig this and he was right! I guess for every popular band like Green day and the white stripes you gotta have the one that struggles but is awesome and will soneday get their due and Teenage Frames are it! I love the whole thing-the guy's voice, the drummer-these songs are super cool, it's not too ty[ical-it kinds sounds likea record you probably should have heard but never did-I suggest this product highly for anybody who likes the real thing-say closer to the clash and cheap trick than all the newer bands out there, but not too retro-it's got it's own thing happening that i'm not sure i can totally describe-it's just cool, you gotta hear it.
