The Cliffs third CD self titled "The Montgomery Cliffs".......2001-02-18

"Power, Passion and Punch" that describes this powerhouse pop album! Right from the start "Ride" jumps right out of the speakers. A great hip shaking number. Hit after hit like; "Wednesday Girl" A catchy pop song that could be heard on any rock station. Then the memorzing beat of "Joking" with Dennis Carollo laying down the skins. Now lets beat our heads and knock down some walls with "Ambivalent" My favorite on this awesome CD is "B-Side". Anyone who likes the Lemonheads will love this cut. Joey Salvia lays down one of the best bass lines there is in a pop/rock song!The Cliffs slow it down just a tad with "O.P.B" And after a few listens your figure out the title! This album is packed with such great catchy rocking pop songs! You won't hit the skip button only the repeat. Lets hope the Cliffs keep rocking!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...

addictive.......2002-04-09

I first recieved this cd by mistake when ordering their self titled one. I was immediately captured by the overall quality of the songs. Most of the album cuts can stand alone and believe me there are plenty of them. This cd has grown on me to the point that it is frequently in my cd player, especially in my car. It is just one of those cds that after a few listens begins to kind of creep into your soul. The song Another Soul On My Side has the best( and I mean Best)guitar solo I have heard in years from any band period. I highly recommend this cd and would have given it 5 stars but those cds are rare indeed. This is definitely 4 and a half or bettter though.

I was working the door at a club when I first heard these guys and as soon as they took the stage in their slick suits I knew they meant business. But I didn't know how much until they started playing! I was blown away by their soaring jams and killer melodies. Their positive playful attitudes were refreshing and connected with the crowd instantly. I bought their album as soon as they left the stage. I was psyched to hear that the ballsy, energetic show was captured on their disk. And even though they told me that the disk was made on a low budget, the sound quality was great. Their DIY and no excuses attitude furthered my alleigance to these warm and extremely friendly cats! This new album is a great leap in style and vision that most up and coming bands wouldn't have the balls to release. Whereas 'Andiamo' was tongue in cheek and had more of a 'party' feel, 'Millenium' is more experimental and the lyrics are poignant and touching. But don't get me wrong, this ain't no wussy new-age sap-fest. This album is on par with The Who's Tommy and Quadrophenia. If my review doesn't convince you, listen for them on 92.7 WLIR and/or call up the station and ask/demand to hear it! These guys are gonna put the Long Island music scene (back) on the map.

Great combination of musical styles & excellent songwriting!.......1999-09-10

Greg Colburn and his RPM USA label have put out a gem. It is a "concept album," which some may find challenging, but it's a really fine collection of songs that could just as easily have been a Broadway musical as a rock/pop album. The production (by the band) and performances on this album are top-notch. It's a step up (and away) from Andiamo!, the band's very fine debut. The album is expertly mastered by Dutch Nachodsky, who has done great work with Splitsville in recent years.

Joey Salvia (lead vox, bass, keyboards) and bandmates Wayne Kurz (guitars) and Dennis Carollo (drums) sound as tight as a group that's been around for years, while telling a tale that developed in Salvia's head less than a year ago. The playing is varied throughout and many different styles are used on the album, with lots of pure pop, some angry punk, echoes of Rush power chords, Styx-ish acoustic guitar, and Elvis Costello-influenced vocals. A children's choir even appears on one track!

Although the album opens with an uncertain picture of the Earth and its future (2000 Years), it has a happy ending (Follow Your Bliss). Along the way we get a number of straight-ahead pop rockers that would work on any album, concept or not. For me, the highlights are the garage rockin' sounds on 1964 and Serve You, Salvia's delicate piano on the heartbreaking Worlds Away, and the melodic popcraft of Only, which is clearly destined for heavy rotation. These songs fit very nicely into their live set, which you should check out if you get a chance. I expect that this album will get The Montgomery Cliffs a lot of attention...
