Music reviews of Elastica

Music Review: At Least Britpop had Elastica
Rating: 4 Stars

Elastica was considered a britpop band, but miles ahead of junk like Oasis and Blur. Elastica won't change your life, nor is it a groundbreaking record. But the almost all-girl band plays a great blend of catchy, edgy, pop rock with a hard edge to it.

Justine Frischmann and Donna Matthews add the right vocals, and they never sound as forced as that annoying Kathleen Hannah and Courtney Love, who, when trying to do rock, fail miserably. I really don't know how the band is able to put a metallic edge and sing pop vocals on top, but they do it. A couple of complaints would be the very bland choruses/harmonies (the horrible S.O.F.T. is full of them) that can pop out from time to time, but there's less of that. You'll want to sing along.

The band themselves can rock out for the best of them. Once again, it's amazing how they can have hard rock and pop vocals on top, but it happened. It's the chemistry, probably. The guitar riffs are tasty pretty much, but the bass and drums really have their chances to shine, or at least display a stellar use of addictive, dancable goodness. And those bass tones are thick and hearty, you could ________ eat that gun-up on Line Up. Metallic pop-punk-rock has never sound so good.

Elastica were often accused of being a rip off of the band Wire (they were sued by the band), but Elastica has enough twists to be there own. Then again, I've never heard Wire, so what do I care? Elastica is a bit deriative (The Indian Song=The Beatles influence), but a good pop song is a good pop song, and Elastica deliver plenty of them.

7/10

Description of Elastica

Import edition of their Brit Pop classic that spawned many hit singles. Tracks, 'Line Up', 'Annie', 'Connection', 'Car Song', 'Smile', 'Hold Me Now', 'S.O.F.T.', 'Indian Song', 'Blue', 'All-Nighter', 'Waking Up', '2:1', 'See That Animal', 'Stutter', 'Neve
It all began with the perfect pop moment of "Stutter," and then everyone wondered if Elastica had it in them to produce more sublime songs. Elastica showed that they did. Never quite as much Britpop as Birdpop, Justine Frischmann parlayed a Bryan Ferry hairstyle into an individual take on the world with material like "Car Song" and "2:1," while the rest of the band showed that they were along for more than just the ride. And if they owed a debt to Wire, well, it was all paid in the end (out of the royalties). The question was, could they ever follow it up? Chris Nickson
