Brilliant4
This was a band that was a welcome relief from the over abundance of the hair bands of hard rock that had made the scene a bit stale. Guns N'Roses had taken over and had begun to stir it up a bit, but were bent on self destruction and all those other bands were clamering to change their sound to make it sound "modern"; a band like Electric Boys comes out and makes a funky, mellow, and even heavy album that just fills in a gap. It's sorta a mix of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and some other bands like Kings X, Saigon Kick, and even maybe Extreme to name a few that kinda snuck in to fill in time before the Grunge movement took over. Sadly this sound faded all too quickly. This fits more into an alternative rock format that maybe a band like Jane's Addiction might have been kings of.
From the opening of "Psychedelic Eyes", and the anthemic stripper theme "Lips 'N Hips" which sounds kinda cheesy by todays standards I admit. But later on it get's funky, and it get's so heavy and melodic you can't resist. It just sounds like they are having a good time making the record. "The Change" just lifts you up, a great song if you are indeed heading for a change in your life perhaps. So many great rock songs on here. Groovus Maximus is a pretty good CD also, and I'm curious to hear the newest "Freewheelin'" , but for now this will do for me.

Not on itunes!5
I've been looking all over for this CD. I truly love "All Lips 'N' Hips" and it gets me in the mood when I'm getting ready to go bar hopping! My husband loves to watch me dance to this song with all my girlfriends..... I went to itunes to download the CD but it ISN'T there! I couldn't believe it - I thought itunes had just about everything. Oh well, I'm truly loving this entire CD... I truly recommend getting this CD for your collection.... ENJOY! I KNOW WE WILL!

Almost Aerosmith5
This album sounds like what Aerosmith might have become if they'd moved to Scandinavia instead of doing Permanent Vacation and Pump.

Conny Bloom isn't quite the wild and crazy guy that Steve Tyler was and is, but this was a promising start. One more album (Groovus Maximus) came out in the states, but Nirvana sabotaged anything that might have come forward from here.

Too bad-- this band was COOL.
