Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Brooklyn's own Jigmastas (DJ Spinna and MC Kriminul) have consistently laced the hip-hop netherworld with noteworthy 12-inch singles (check the criminally underrated "Lyrical Fluctuation" remix featuring Pharoahe Monch, Mos Def, and Shabaam Sahdeeq, among others). However, when you match Spinna's Jay Dee-like musical eclecticism with the skills of an average MC, the results are a bit disappointing. Luckily, Infectious gets by with a little help from their friends. Guest appearances by Sadat X, on the neo-Ice Age bashing "Don't Get It Twisted" (peep the tap-dancer clicking sounds), and underground heroine Apani B Fly MC on "Apology Not Accepted" obscure Kriminul's shortcomings. "8 Million Stories" and the police-harassment narrative "Hollar" (featuring wailing guitars from Vernon Reid of Living Colour fame) are worthwhile listens. But it's the contagious sped-up Brazilian vocal loop on "C.S.S" that ensures that Spinna's accolades will continue to pile up like Tupac-is-alive conspiracy theories. --Dalton Higgins

Appropriate Album Title for a Terrific Album.......2007-04-16

When it comes to Tiffany (and several other 1980's singers) the problem is that fans, critics and people who aren't fans won't let the singer "grow up" so to speak. They label each new album the artist puts out after 1990 as a "comeback", but really, how many times can someone make a comeback? Well, Tiffany has done it at least three times, and "Dust off and Dance" is another great album by the former teen-queen, far superior to any of the present so-called teen-queens. It should be noted, that Tiffany's album prior to this one, "The Color of Silence" is another superpb album, but with an entire different feel to it.

"Dust off and Dance", is quite likely to be a reference to Tiffany herself dusting off the past (be it harsh reviewes, haters, or the mood of "The Color of Silence"), and quite literally just dancing. At least "Dust off and Dance" doesn't try to be anything more than a dance / disco / Hi NRG album - and a fantastic one at that. Production blends the best of modern day sounds with a bit of the 80's, combined with Tiffany's powerful voice and some great lyrics, most of which are written by her, resulting in an album that is easy to listen to over and over again.

The songs may not seem as deep on the surface as those from her previous album, but they all tell a story and do have important meanings to them, like enjoying life as it is so short. Some of the songs and lyrics are a bit suggestive, but the album was written, according to Tiffany, with her gay fans in mind. It's also appropriate for the dance floor (obviously). While the overall mood of the album is upbeat, there are a couple of ballads, but even they are upbeat. It's great to see that the album has been getting some play on the hit TV series "Ugly Betty". The biggest problem with the album though is that it is too short - only eleven songs, two of which are remixes. But hey, quality over quantity anyday.

Highlights: Be With U Tonite, Ride It, Na Na Na

Low Points: Kama Sutra, I Think We're Alone Now (remix)

kids point of view.......2007-04-04

cd was for my daughter and she thought it was excellent.

A good attempt to comeback.......2007-01-11

Not one of Tiffany's best work. This disco-ish CD is ok, not the Tiffany that we're all familiar with. It's nice to see she's still recording, but it doesn't measure up to her earlier work. Her last CD "Color of Silence" was excellent, the songs were great. Had more feeling in it. If you're a Tiffany fan like me, then add this to your collection.

2 and half - Not Quite What I've been Expected..........2007-01-10

Well, I have to say I only start to know and love Tiffany from her come back 6 years ago, with some amazing songs like "Open My Eyes" and the exceptionally heart melting "If Only". I have absolute no idea what sort of her music in the 90s or 80s and have no intention of exploring it since the pop music from those period is a bit odd for me. Since this album was rather new and the review said it relflects her best in the past, I decided to buy it. There are some songs that quite upbeat, with lots of catchy tunes but I still prefer her previous work. This album is a bit blend, lack of emotion and there are some songs just sound alike. It's unavoidable since Trance and House just got a limited sound effect to play around with in the arragement, I think you know what I mean. Anyway, if you looking for a feel good family or even birthday party, you can go with this one. But if you fond of flowing with emotion and smooth melodies, then the last album would be the best choice.

High Energy Club Music.......2006-08-14

Well U have to be a fan of pop or club music to really enjoy this latest CD of Tiffany's .Her latetest effort is a complete 180 from her last cd THE COLOR OF SILENCE but I luv both due to the fact u get to listen to her great vocals but with that said Dust Off And Dance is the correct title for this So Get This if U WANNA DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!

great funk.......2007-03-24

just a purely great album of funk, and some of the best bass work you will ever hear.
One star loss due to too much talking and filler between songs.

Get infected........2006-11-20

I'm not sure if one would call this a side-project, or supergroup, but it's a good listen. Members are from other bands such as Suicidal Tendencies, Metallica, and Jane's Addiction among others. To my ears, this basically sounds like a funkier version of Suicidal. I'd say it's a must listen for ST fans. Call it....funk-rock. It a bass slappin', drum poundin', yelling good time. Get it if you see it, as it's out of print at the moment.

Funkalicious and fun.......2005-06-27

What happens when you take the bass virtuosity of Rob Trujillo (ex-Suicidal Tendencies, later joined Metallica), the vocal stylings of Mike Muir (Suicidal Tendencies), multiple guest drummers (including Stephen Perkins of Porno For Pyros and studio drummer Josh Freese of Vandals and A Perfect Circle fame), and even more guest guitarists and miscellaneous instrumentalists, throw them into a blender on the 'puree' setting with a gallon of funk and a few quarts of punk/metal?

You get Infectious Grooves.

It's funky, it's rocking. It makes you dance and it makes you bang your head. That's what Infectious Grooves is all about.. groovin' and rockin'.

The strongest element of the album, naturally, is the incredible bass work of one Rob Trujillo. Rob shows his true colors on this album, always laying down the solid groove and occasionally stepping outside of the pocket to display incredible work with both the left and right hands. The guest guitarists on the album are all of a high level of musicianship. The title track has an incredibly sick-sounding guitar solo that is usually only heard amongst the likes of talent such as Steve Vai or John Petrucci.

The only downfall of the album is that Mike Muir has never been what I would consider a "good vocalist". He is, however, very fitting to the Infectious Grooves sound. The songs are all humorous, both musically and lyrically. Muir does a great job of keeping you laughing, whether it is his classic funk "Hey hey hey's" or the ridiculous lyrics ("You lie.. and yo breath stank.. smells just like.. a septic tank.") The skits, may I add, are amusing the first time around but the novelty quickly wears off. I was also a bit irked that the album ended with a skit track as opposed to an actual song.

If you like funk and are open to experimentation, I highly recommend this album. Being an individual who has an undying love for both funk and metal, this album is extremely appealing to me.

I reiterate.. HIGHLY recommended.

A lost gem in my collection.......2003-12-19

I'll make this short and sweet: GET IT, IT'S ONLY $4.00!! Being a big fan of Suicidal at the time, I've had this since it came out in 1991. I hadn't listened to it for years, even though I knew it was really good. Well, today I resurrected it, and holy moly it's really good. Super bass funkiness, catchy hooks, addictive riffs, sing-a-long refrains...maybe that doesn't sound good but it really is! And funny too. Like I said, this is a lost gem in my collection.

Grooooooooooovy.......2002-04-18

Uauuuu... that's funky man! Funk with heavy riffs. Funny and mostly: groovy!!!!
In my opinion Sarssipius Ark's is better (the sound quality and mix is better).
Try to hear "Feed the monkey" or "Stop funk'n with my head". Yeah!! I like it so much!!!!!
I think all Infetious Grooves CDs are excellent. Buy them if you like funk, metal distortion & riffs and a "bass in your face" sound.

good.......2007-07-18

i really like this band... the music on this cd is great. there are a few songs that could have been better, but its a good mix of music.

Theyre better live.......2004-12-28

With the release of all the "radio friendly" "pop punk" crap, this band continues to stay underground. The best tracks by TB on this album to me is Russian Roulette, and Take the reins. And the best TB song ever I think is, Irish Boys. This cd is good, but its too bright, and peppy foy my grunge loving palate. I saw them live in September at Fitzgerald's and they were great. Their singer is so beautiful, she looks a tiny bit like Brody Dalle, and has a killer voice... But this album is alright.

Soild music, a little monotonous.......2004-11-12

Don't get me wrong, these guys are great musicians and their music is tight and solid, and somewhat original. I do listen to the album periodically, however, as an overall album I find that the collection can get a bit fatiguing. The band needs to mix up tempo, key and and sound density a little bit, IMO. "Drone" is an adjective that comes to mind although some people don't mind that. I prefer to put selected songs on mix CDs where they can really punch up the mix.

way better than i expected.......2004-10-08

I just happened to stumble across this band one day, and now i am completely in love with their music. I read about them in Alternative Press Magazine and heard they sounded similar to AFI, but with a more poppy sound. When i heard "Pop" that turned me off, but i decided to check it out anyway.
I was amazingly impressed by the outcome. I don't normally listen to punk music. I'm more of a fan of hardcore and metal,but this band is definitely worth listening to. Agent M's vocals were thorougly impressing and the guitar work was rather nice. The lyrics were fun and the music-extremely upbeat. They reminded of AFI's older stuff, and sounded somewhat like the Distillers, except more clean sounding vocals, and catchier sounding choruses. If you like fast, punky sounding music, you should buy this album. After all this is a REAL punk band, but they don't sound too much different from you average pop-punk band. However, they are way more original.

Holy Hell........2004-08-29

I love Tsunami Bomb.
I just saw them live recently. If you want to get the full bomb experience, catch them whenever they're in your town. But before you do that, buy the CD. They're an awesome, awesome band. Agent M's voice is great, and the music is awesome and...whoa. Amazing live show. Whoa. I mean, WHOA. Buy this CD. Buy Invasion from Within. Buy tickets to their next show. If you don't your life is meaningless.

While not as good an overall offering as some of their other efforts, this CD has some funky jams on it and lots of the humor from the first release.

Addictively funkaholic.......2006-12-07

Great, refreshing and original funky metal.The basslines are incredibly groovy and the hole sound is tight. Special emphasis to the the coverversion of Led Zepplin's 'Immigrant song'. Never heard such a witty interpretation.

Stompin' Thrash Funk at it's musical best, homez!.......2004-03-31

I played this at least once a day for about a year! As a fan of SxTx and I.G. this to me was great. A great mix of heavy rhythms teeming with tha fonk and obscure but clever and fun lyrics. Very musical but very hard/smooth.
I also recommend Groove Family Cyco which is the best sounding album they did. Violent and Funky has to be an absolute classic.
Hardcore - and then they swich it to the smooth, it's the Infectious Grooves. PEACE X

Easy Listening C-music.......2002-11-02

I stumbled across this CD by chance. I'm glad I did. Go Fish has music that is upbeat and has a feel good prescence to it. "I See You" is the best piece on the CD. Admittedly I find myself listening to this one over and over. Christian undertones are encouraging and relevant to believers. "Watch me Go" is light and has an easy beat to enjoy and you pick up the lyrics too. Enjoy, I have.

Are you infectious?.......2002-08-01

"Infectious" is the dawn of a new day for typically acappella group Go Fish, and they seize the fresh opportunity with a flourish and enthusiasm that's contagious. Though die-hard Go Fish fans will notice a most definite difference in the music because of the added instruments, one can easily see that despite the change Go Fish has retained their special zest that gives their music life. "Are you gonna wait till the stars fall from the sky" to get this CD? Hopefully not, because it's worth hearing. From their remakes of "What Mary Didn't Know" and "You're My Little Girl" (good, but originals are best) to their "I See You" and the upbeat "Infectious", Go Fish displays their talent for writing poignant lyrics and teaming them with the ideal melody. Some of the songs were written from a very autobiographical point of view, including "I See You." "Watch Me Go" was a "direct result of [go fish] signing [their] first record deal down in Nashville", and "Cloverleaf Park" was written by Jamie for his wedding- a beautiful song that displays total commitment and love to one's spouse. "The artist creates his masterpiece from nothing", and with the assistance of the master artist, that's just what Go Fish does with "Infectious".

You'll love this CD! <º((( > <.......2001-11-15

This is a must have, for all you Go Fish fans. For those who haven't heard of Go Fish but love Christian music this is one you'll love. Most of the people I know that like FFH really like this group too. This is one of the few CDs I own that I love every song on the CD. For those that love acapella Go Fish also has a few acapella CDs. The one called "Out of Breath" is awesome and has two of the songs from the "Infectious" CD on it, only in acapella.

It's idiotic that they accuse Rage Against the Machine of being hypocrites. How else is Rage going to get their message out there? Just like Morello said they could play to empty squats, but they need to be able to show people whats up. People need to wake up and i guess being endorsed by SONY so that later on, getting your message out could pay off was the idea Rage had. I say Infectious Groves' ideas blow, but the music isn't half bad.

A drummers perspective.......2005-06-13

If you like great drummers add Brooks Wackerman to the list.

High energy, heavy speed metal, double bass, funk. It doesn't get any better than what Brooks does here. He is fluid with great all around technique. Guess it runs in the family. If you are drummer try playing along to this CD! I wish you luck.

Good God..........2005-04-23

I recently pulled this out of my 1000+ collection because I wanted something different than the usual crap that comes out now days. I loved this band back in the day, and I have to say that I still find this freaking CD amazing today. It is great music...period. If you don't have this, you should be ashamed of yourself...pick it up immediately.

Super Dooper.......2000-10-10

I give out a lot of five star reviews mostly because I only take the time to review the best stuff. This album is wonderful. Though I like the new album Mas Burracho slightly better, It wasn't a large enough gap to drop a star. Everything this band does is great. Though they can in some ways be compared to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Infectious Grooves have a harder edge and a distinct sound. Ignore the bad comments about this one! I happen to be a musician and a lover of old soul, latin, classic rock, jazz, etc. And I'll tell you right now these guys are GOOD! "Die like a Pig" and "Violent and Funky" are my favorite tracks. Bass player Robert Trujillo tears it up like you can't believe!

This is an amazing album. I think that even people who are unfamiliar or new to folk will love this disc. They love what they're doing, and it comes through in every song. Joyful. Excellent for dancing around while folding laundry. :)

Rockin'.......2005-08-30

This album rocks. I was lucky enough to catch the Mammals live with Arlo Guthrie and they were absolutely fantastic.

Bluegrass Blast.......2004-06-15

The Mammals' sophomore effort is a blast of bluegrass-flavored energy performed with gusto. From the opener "Fall On My Knees," they attack the music with energy as Ruth Ungar sings, "You've told me more lies than there are stars in the sky; you'll never get to heaven when you die." "The Bush Boys" is a bit risky for a band to take a strong political position since part of your audience is not going to agree. However, if you're part of the population who are not fans of President Bush, this will seem hilarious as Mammals apes part of the "Mockingbird" tune, "Hush little baby, don't you cry, daddy's going to buy you an alibi; If that alibi don't work, daddy's going to bribe the county clerk; If that county clerk don't bribe, daddy's got Congress on his side; If that Congress still don't budge, daddy's in tight with a Supreme Court judge." It's heady stuff and may only be timely for a limited time. If Bush wins in the fall, Bush critics can enjoy this one for the next 4 years. Tao Rodriguez is the grandson of folk legend Pete Seeger and plays banjo, guitar & mandolin in the best folk tradition as on the instrumental "Reel Du Bebe." "Father William" is a dark tune about sins of the clergy. "Bad Shoes Blues" is a great kitchen sink protest song that combines overseas labor abuses, genetically engineered vegetables and pro-choice causes. The traditional "John Henry" is a tune that Tao learned from his grandpa, performed in an energetic reading of this traditional tune. "Pearls" is a standout track with an interesting lyric & a Dylanesque vocal reading by Michael Merenda. Ruth Ungar's "Tinderbox" is a haunting mournful melody, "There's a spark inside my mind that contradicts all the sparks that burn around it; one day it might be a fire if that far-off feeling ever found it." Pete Seeger's "Quite Early Morning" is given a loving gentle recitation. Mammals' "Rock That Babe" is a good set of folk tunes filled with energy and sterling musicianship. Enjoy!

rock this cd.......2004-05-26

The Mammals play with an incredible amount of energy, and this cd does the best job yet of capturing their dynamic style on disc. Ruth Ungar's vocals really shine on several of the tracks (notably "Fall on My Knees" and "Tinderbox"), not to mention her fiery fiddle (esp. on "Hellgate"). The addition of bass and drums to the more traditional old-timey instruments works much better than you might think--each is complementary, neither overwhelms the rest of the band, and the effect fits well with their propulsive style.

While I highly recommend this cd, I even more highly recommend seeing The Mammals live (check their website for touring info). They give one of the best shows that I've seen in any genre of music--Michael Merenda is a first-rate songwriter and Tao Rodriguez-Seeger's energy really gets the crowd engaged. They obviously love to play together, which makes for a great time all round!

Wow!.......2004-05-21

What an amazing group! From the vocals to the instrumental, these kids can play!! Mixing old time music with a new time flare, The Mammals are sure to be heard.

Funky enough,but not heavy enough!!.......2001-11-14

Just picked up Infectious Grooves most recent album Mas Borracho and, I must say, it wasn't what I expected. The thing that made the first three albums so special was the delicate mixture of heavy rockin' riffs and clean guitars, with an explosive, funky bassline!!! Borracho has its moments, but not enough the make it a truly great CD like the others. Previous songs like, "Do the Sinister", "These Freaks are Here To Party", and "Why?" had this classic combination I really miss on this new album. Maybe, after a few more spins through the CD player, I might truly appreciate and love this new sound like the others. It might take some time to get used to, but I'm sure it will grow on me.

Back to Funky Form!.......2001-02-13

After the heavy and exceedingly violent "Groove Family Cyco", I thought for sure that the IG's had wandered too far into the same territory occupied by many of today's angry rap-metal bands, unfortunately. I'd always thought that IG was an outlet for the Suicidal Tendencies bunch to explore different ideas, musically and thematically. I was stoked upon listening to their latest CD, "Mas Borracho", that they have returned to the funky, often humorous form of their 1st (and my favorite) album, "The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move".

The new stuff is just amazingly fun to listen or thrash to. "Mas Borracho" rocks, funks and blows you away with superlative musicianship, in your face bass, dualing heavy and jangling guitars, and a great new drummer. Bassist Robert Trujillo truly deserves as much recognition as Flea or Les Claypool for being an absolute master of the bass guitar. The lyrical content of the songs is a journey in itself, but the mood created is much more uplifting, less heavy and dark than "Groove Family". I applaud Mike Muir, Robert Trujillo, Dean Pleasants, and company on producing a sonically awesome and truly enjoyable CD.

All in all, this disc gets 4 stars ("The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move" is hard to beat at 5 stars - Get that CD if you can find it!) Essential listening if you're a fan of the thrash/funk rock genre. Peace!

This new release of the Infectious grooves abandons the themes of death and metal/thrash and exploits the talents of Robert Trujillo. A Bass guitar expert currently touring with Ozzy Osbourne. The songs are upbeat and fun to listen to. The mix of Muir's vocals, Trujillo on Bass and Adam Sigel on guitar are mixed perfectly and make the cd very enjoyable.

3 words: BUY THIS ALBUM!!! These guys (Suicidal Tendencies in disguise) have outdone themselves again! This album, Mas Borracho, lets me reminisce they days of the old Red Hot Chili Peppers' albums like Freaky Styley. They even threw in keyboards on a couple of songs! If you like slap bass and wah wah guitar this album, which is almost pure funk, is for you. The older Infectious Grooves albums which are also cool, had a little bit of a harder edge to them (like the new Suicidal Tendencies Album, Free Your Soul and Save My Mind). I love it all. Hopefully Cyco Miko and gang get all the recognition they deserve!!!

Customer Reviews:

Hello?.......2006-05-09

Why isn't this band a national phenom? This is one of the catchiest "unpop" albums to come out in years and it deserves fame. Great songwriting, witty, silly, sometimes even profound, with great hooks. This album tops most of the stuff that's getting all the attention. So what gives?

They should be everywhere........2005-05-17

Creative, fun lyrics - think "They might be Giants", solid music talent = a great cd. Highly recommend for those who know life is not so serious.

Suprise! Best album I've bought in years!.......2005-05-06

I bought this because of an internet slam to Dubyah made to the tune of the *ss$ole song. I dug that tune and went out on a $12.50 limb for the disc. It's good. Real good! The music has a wide appeal and will be liked whether you are 50 or 15 (warning - explicit lyrics - those over 50 should use caution!!).
I just ordered the rest of Jim's albums including the "Jim Infantino album - Titanic. I only wish I had them delivered next day air. This stuff is smart and yet light and enjoyable. Jim's Big Ego will bring a smile to your face!

Domestic bliss never sounded so good.......2003-12-15

Being lucky enough to live in the Boston area and get a regular dose of Jim's Big Ego concert fun practically whenever I feel like it, I can safely say that it's a band that has close ties to its fandom, and hopefully always will. This notion has become particularly apparent to me with the release of their latest album.

They're Everywhere is a mix of old and new material, but a good chunk of it should be familiar to longtime concert-goers, MP3.com frequenters, and album-buyers. "A**hole" is really "Hi-ho," a concert favorite finally recorded in the studio and given a different (and infinitely more obvious) name. "Cut Off Your Head" has been slightly reworked from the version found on the "Titanic" (live) album. "In a Bar" is a song that was conceived and born entirely from live improv.

And "Mix Tape?" Just visit their official website and "egog" forum to figure out where the sentiments behind this rather anti-RIAA song came from. Jim's Big Ego is all about utilizing the internet, free downloads, and unusually liberal consumer sharing rights to increase their music listenership base.

This album has a decidedly polished, upbeat feel that was lacking from previous endeavors. Songs like "The Music of You," "Math Prof Rock Star," and "Party on the Everglades" seem to hint at a certain level of comfort, ease and-- dare i say?-- domestic bliss. It's as if Jim's Big Ego has finally found its groove. As if the studio time has been one constant party that we've finally been invited to.

Of course, there are still a few sad, thought-provoking songs. "Better Than You" could be construed as highhanded and preachy, but the quiet poetic simplicity of the lyrics will suck you in nevertheless. "Love What's Gone" uses the symbolic imagery of baseball to describe the loss of a loved one. But "The Ballad of Barry Allen" has struck me the hardest, even if it is just a song about a comic book character (The Flash). Jim Infantino manages once again to give a new and heart-rending perspective to a persona we thought we had figured out decades ago.

Though perhaps not their best album overall, it should definitely be in any JBE fan's collection. I would anticipate that it would sit best with either longtime and loyal fans, or first-time listeners that come from a pop music fan base, like Barenaked Ladies.

Another winner.......2003-12-06

Been a fan of JBE for a few years now and this latest album is my new favorite. "Smart pop" is right. Catchy songs that you can listen to over and over again with getting nauseus. If you're sick of the same old radio play, but this album. If you've never seen them in concert, I highly recommend the experience.
