Jesus Jones - Liquidizer

Satisfying album and a good starting place for Jesus Jones.

I was one of those people instantly hooked by "Right Here, Right Now" and its root album, Doubt, which was this band's second album. I went back to get Liquidizer and found a noisier, colder sound, but still filled with hooks, Mike Edwards' sensible punk/pop vocals, and memorable guitar parts. "Info Freako" is the standout song, a manic stack of distorted chords and shouted vocals that sound positively anthemic, though with a definite Sex Pistols sneer. And "Never Enough" is another of those Jesus Jones songs that sounds like it should've been written long ago, seamless songcraft and rowdy attitude mixed in with the band's above-par lyrics to form a great college-rock track.

Doubt was uniformly the stronger album; Liquidizer remains worthy of exploration. May 25, 2000

Not very good

The music production on this album is rather poor and the songs are very generic and really sound outdated. Get the far better album "Doubt" instead and only get this album if you MUST have another Jesus Jones album. Otherwise, you're safe to skip this one. February 12, 2000

a bit noisy, but energetic fun

Jesus Jones puts gituars & samples together in a way that is a bit like noise at times, but if you like energetic music, this is for you. It is uniquely creative.... July 6, 1999
