I forst saw DBS at EdgeFest in 1995, Along with Adam Ant, Letters to Cleo, Veruca Salt, POL, and someother bands. I believe that the Toadies and Nixons were there, I may be getting them mixed with other bands. Anyways, They were clearly the best band on state that day. I also have seen in concert 3 other times and their performance can compete with any other concert that I have gone to. I can honestly say that I can listen to all of their albums without skipping over any songs. Being from Dallas and also working with Clay Bergus's Mother-In-Law, I may be Biased since they are from Denton.
They are a great band and I will be one of the first in line if they ever do some type of Reunion concert
P.S. There was a Special Release of "Home" that had extra songs. They did a version of "Dear Prudence" by the Beatles. The other one I cannot remember, but it was a great song
April 27, 2007 |  | Always did like this group and album, One hit wonders of the 90's |  |
Many people are mad because Breakfast at Tiffany's is different sounding than many of the other songs on this album, but I enjoy the whole thing, always have from the day I bought it back in 1995. It is unfortunate that the record company didn't push other songs as much as this breakfast at tiffany's, like Halo, or I can wait, but some bands historically have to become one hit wonders. Like Dexy's midnight runners from the eighties with Come' on Eileen, or Gloria Gainer with "I will survive" in the 70's, and even "the byrds" in the 60's with "turn turn". Yes one song is great, but be objective, as a music fan, this album is good, just give it a chance.
December 9, 2006 | | One fantastic song, but that's all | |
Three stars for the album, but it's really 5+ stars for "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and 1 star for the rest. To my ears, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is a terrific song from start to finish (great writing, great singing/playing, great recording quality), while the rest of the album is complete "throwaway" or empty filler. The other songs aren't offensive, they are just boring (incredibly light & pointless acoustic stuff). The "other" songs on the CD don't even sound like they were recorded by the same band that did "Breakfast at Tiffany's". What a shame that the band couldn't give us something else at least remotely resembling that one song (on this album, I haven't heard their others), oh well. So if you buy this, don't have high expectations for the other songs, just figure you are getting it as an expensive single. Maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised by some of the other songs, but unfortunately I wasn't.

February 3, 2005 | | if you liked the B @ T's song... | |
I noticed a lot of folks liked "Breakfast at Tiffany's", then some either liked the rest of it and some didn't. If you like that song (and it is kinda catchy), you are highly likely to like Pop Art, a band I really enjoyed in the mid-late eighties. There is a retrospective CD available, so it's not like you have to go a-hunting for old vinyl. When B@T came out, it was killing me how much it sounded like a Pop Art song. Thought I'd share that obscure gem with anyone who might be reading these reviews!
