This CD suits me.......1999-08-02

With live albums, many bands stick to the traditional formula and leave little room for surprises, but with "Tokyo Suits Me", from The Wildhearts, you get all the energy, vibe and attitude these four lads can muster.

Before their demise in 1997, The Wildhearts brought a refreshing sound back into a stale music scene, a la Nirvana, but this time around, the music was extremely catchy, aggressively upbeat and melodic. The Wildhearts are a unique hit-making machine because they combine the best elements of pop, rock, country and heavy metal, and blend them together to create the ultimate musical mix.

"Here it is, our only official live album," says lead singer/rhythm guitarist Ginger in the liner notes. "It ain't pretty and it certainly ain't glossy; we'll leave that to the Americans."

"Tokyo Suits Me" kicks off this tradition with one of the band's biggest hits, "I Wanna Go Where The People Go" from P.H.U.Q., the ultimate sing-along song with a great chorus. Other tracks like "Nita Nitro" and "Everlone" fire up the proceedings with razor-sharp crunchy guitar riffs and sweet infectious melodies.

"Caffeine Bomb", "Nothing Ever Changes But The Shoes" and "Suckerpunch" hit the rowdy crowd like an uppercut from Mike Tyson and keeps them screaming for more.

"29 X The Pain" heals all wounds with creative lyrics that pay homage to various rock bands -- lost heroes of misspent youth. One in particular is the late Kurt Cobain, with "I want to be here once again / I'm gonna miss Kurt Cobain / like 29 X the pain." This time around, Ginger changes the content with "I'm gonna miss you all, Japan" an ode of sentiment to Tokyo, a place where The Wildhearts were always welcomed with open arms, and by the sounds of Tokyo Suits Me, it was a comfortable hug.

The Wildhearts: Live at their best!!!.......1999-03-23

Anyone who is a Wildhearts fan is sure to enjoy the first "official" live release from this totally underrated band. Every song has more passion and feeling than any track on "Anarchic Airwaves". "Suckerpunch" has never been heavier, "Caffeine Bomb" is completely off the hook complete with flubbed lines. This is quite possibly one of the best live albums I've ever heard. The bonus disc is a real treat. Everything from an acoustic version of "29X the Pain" to a country western "Caffeine Bomb". What I believe is a new track titled "Jilted John" and an incredible version of "Anthem". Ginger and the boys seem to be having loads of fun during these shows and you can hear that in his musings with the crowd. All in all "Tokyo Suits Me" is a must have for any Wildhearts fan.
