 Nirvana Influenced Irish Band Give Great Debut September 14, 2001
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Drawing heavily from their peers, Nirvana and seemingly becoming a younger Manic Street Preachers, JJ72 hit the UK last year with the hit "October Swimmer", which is definitely one of the stand out tracks on this cd (along with "Algeria", "Snow", "Long Way South" and "Willow" - all contrasting and yet comparable styles). The cd seems to be a pop/grunge mix, with some distinctly classical influences, most notable with the violin soli at the end of "Oxygen". The band are currently working on album no. 2, which makes one wonder why the debut took so long to be released here. The cd is possibly as beautiful, and destructive to the mind as Coldplays " Parachutes", and lead singer Mark Greaney certainly has a strong enough voice to back up the thought-provoking lyrics. Give them a listen if your tastes include Grunge, Early Radiohead, or any kind of Britpop.
 Not Radiohead--And That's Just Fine December 13, 2001

First, those who think JJ72 is about Radiohead are out to lunch. I am a big Radiohead fan, but a falsetto, raging guitars, and strong dynamics do not warrant superficial Radiohead comparisons.This is a flawed but pretty brilliant debut, especially considering that the band members are barely 20ish. Mark Greaney's voice is definitely ear-catching: some Geddy Lee, some Jon Anderson (of Yes), even some early Queen (think Queen 2)--but also unique. And very self-assured. In addition, his song writing skills are quite strong. Lyrically the album suffers from too much Joyce-ish obliqueness and not enough narrative. The second half of the CD lags a bit and has a "samey" feel to it. But cuts like "Undercover Angel," "Oxygen", "Snow" and the beautiful "Willow" are marvels and point to potential greatness. I'm looking forward to the all-important sophomore effort.

I got to see them live at the gypsy tea room in Dallas, TX. It was an awesome show. After seeing them, I downloaded all of their mp3s, and I just can't get enough of their sound. Mark Greaney has a beautiful voice, and the music itself is godlike. Some refer to it as being anthem-sounding, which I feel does it duty. All of the songs are filled with passion, which, for me, is the most important thing. A great album!

Mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmmmmm good. I finally came across this album, and boy am I glad I did. Being a Strokes and Coldplay fan, I figured I'd like it, the similarities are there, but JJ72 has proven to be incredibly unique and breathtaking band. Here's the breakdown.1- October Swimmer- Oh so good! It has some great lyrics, and a fabulous tune. 2- Undercover Angel- Very cute, sweet, etc. Nice chorus. 3- Oxygen- Emotionally moving, decadent instrumentals. 4- Willow- Enchanting and Haunting 5- Surrender- Passionate, great guitar parts. 6- Long Way South- Energetic and exciting! I can't stop singing- "Torrential high seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaas- dragged me to my knees.........." Awesome lyrics and vocals. 7- Snow- Great build up to the chorus. 8- Broken Down- Gentle and hummable 9- Improv- This has got to be my favourite one, but I don't know why. 10- Not Like You- reminds me of Undercover Angel a little....... 11- Algeria- So amazing, it really gets the adrenaline going for me! 12- Bumble Bee- a Perfect ending to the album, it does the quiet-loud thing. Well, I hope that helps! *when in doubt, listen to clips*
