Vibrant!.......2001-12-18

I can only review this E.P. because Andrew W.K.'s amazing debut c.d. has not been released yet.Well it has on this side of the Atlantic and has been getting a mixture of rave reviews to is this c.d. some sort of bad joke.As an introduction to his music this e.p. is perfect.Take a trip back to the mid 80's when loud heavy rock music was filled with fun,certainly wasn't meant to be taken very seriously and was the perfect way to kickstart all parties.This is the greatest thing about his music for me,as it's such a welcome break from all the doom and self-gratifying gloom of groups like Staind and Creed.At first I was majorly shocked when I heard this music.It sounded like a cross between Billy Idol,Def Leppard and Meat Loaf-talk about bad taste!But it works so well.Each track is laden with enormous guitars,heavy fast furious drumming,mid 80's synths and out front W.K.'s gruff and grunted vocals.Each track seems to grow from one catchy riff to the next,so it's very accessible.Catchy verse,catchy bridge and an even catchier chorus.The lyrics are so good in that they are completely daft and are just on about being positive and having a good time.On his debut c.d. the word party is mentioned in the title of 3 songs.All of his songs are over almost before they've really started which means you're not very likely to get bored with them.Thankfully the one aspect of 80's rock that he has left out are the ever predictable guitar solo's.If I did have one fault with his music it would be that many of the songs sound very similar-there isn't a slushy ballad in sight here,which I suppose is a good thing.I don't know how big this guy is going to be,but I'm really hoping the spirit of this e.p. and even more so from his debut album will give guitar music the kick in the butt it so badly needs!Andrew WK is the freshest,most vibrant new rock act around at the moment.Party On!!!

Quite possibly the best thing ever.......2001-11-28

After hearing Party Hard on MTV2 and getting it stuck in my head, I decided to get a few mp3s of Andrew WK to see if the rest of his stuff was any good. I was over an hour late in for work the following morning due to me HAVING to go in to town and buy up everything I could find. Nothing has excited me musically like this in years. And of all the songs I have heard so far, the greastest is hidden away in the middle of this EP. Listening to We Want Fun is quite simply the most enjoyment I've had in ages, I just play it on repeat mode, jamming along with my guitar, bouncing around and grinning like a maniac with a bag of happy pills.

Put simply, there is nothing better for sale on this website. Forget your Xboxes, Gamecubes and widescreen projection TVs, and get this disc. Now!

We Want Fun!.......2001-03-02

Perhaps the biggest 80's-like throwback of the year, I have visions of Slade, Chumbawumba and about 40 soccer hooligans running around on stage while the baby grand is pounded, the drums roar, the guitars and bass play MONSTER riffs...

*WHEW!* Especially the anthem "We Want Fun," you'll want to listen to this thing 100 times without it ever getting old!!!

GET THIS CD!!!
