Reviews
This album sounds like it stuck between the sounds of mainstream 80's Rock and 90's counter-culture Rock. It almost works but frequently doesn't, "Phone Booth" will always be coming out of my speakers though.
Would love to see this forgotten gem on vinyl... Phone booth and the album tracks Motherfucker, Skin Turns Blue and Rocket are awesome- Can someone please press this already? Nearly every other 90's Alt. Rock album has already been cranked out over the last few years..
- Edited 8 years agoDespite the success of the first single, this one flew sadly under the radar. The second single could have been an anthem, and should have been, but when your song is called Motherfucker, it limits your mainstream options. It's a pity, because it's a fantastic album, front to back.
The lyrics consist of dreamy poetry, and O'Connor's imagery is truly inspired. The music is eclectic, often bluesy, but with unexpected injections of everything from hip-hop beats to Smiths-esque bridges. As a veritable one-man show (with guest performers scattered here and there), Rocket is as auspicious a debut as Trent Reznor's Pretty Hate Machine or Dave Grohl's Foo Fighters, and deserves more adherents.
