Bullet Boys "Sophie"

Speaking of new material, this evening I was finally able to purchase the current BulletBoys CD, "Sophie." Though I am the proud owner of the complete BulletBoys catalog (including the exceedingly rare yet only marginally enjoyable "Acid Monkey" album), I had been in no great rush to place an order for this latest effort. The samples I'd downloaded hadn't done much for me and I'd heard less than favorable reviews of the album as a whole. However, now that I've had a chance to fully experience it for myself, I am happy to report that the music contained therein is actually quite good. Out of the 10 songs on the disc, easily 7 or 8 of them are immediately catchy and memorable. Standout tracks include "Amazing," "Outta Here," "Shake Me Awake," "Can I Show You" and "Neighborhood." Though others have claimed that the album production leaves something to be desired, all I can tell you is that more than a few of these songs have since gotten stuck in my head and I am glad to finally have this disc in my collection.
