Maybe the founding members of Squirrel Nut Zippers (Jim Mathus and Katharine Whalen) were predicting the giant sucking-sound that would follow grunge when they decided to toss away their rock bands, move from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to a small town nearby, and pick up banjos and trumpets in 1993. Whatever it was that motivated the pair--plus the other quartet of guys who became the Zippers--to shun the pervasive crunchy power-pop-punk sound of Chapel Hill, it's worked out well for them; since the 1995 release of the band's debut, The Inevitable, kids all over the country have been pogo-ing to swing music. While The Inevitable isn't charting super-fresh musical territory, the Zippers' vivacious take on the Big Band sound of the 1920s and '30s has the nutty appeal of a vintage dress worn with Doc Martens. --Megan O. Steintrager

Just more of what everyone else says.......2007-07-05

Being the backwards person I am, I got this CD last. You can see why the Zippers changed the paradigm with this one. It's definitely "Good Enough for Grandpa" and I believe the grandkids can swing along as well. As far as I'm concerned, their whole body of work is excellent and if you get a chance to see the Zippers live, you need to. Katherine Whalen is an amazing vocalist and the whole band just appears to be having a blast up on stage.

Zippers music is some of the best get-up-and-go music I know of. I use my swing mix to get me started on days when I know I need to get a lot done and keep moving.

What else can I say?.......2006-12-17

The Squirrel Nut Zippers are always amazing, and this album is no exception. Makes me want to dance every time I hear it.

Used to like it, 'til I heard it done better.......2004-01-07

I used to really like this recording, until I heard this style of music played by musicians of a higher calibre. There are plenty of modern masters who leave the SNZ's in their dust. Consider Bob Brozman. He deserves the recognition that the SNZ's have garnered, but his vastly superior recordings are mostly unknown. He did better version of You're Driving Me Crazy in 1988 on "The Devil's Slide, a record that the SNZ's have borrowed from (shamelessly, I think...their song "Hell" on the next record is a blatant ripoff of "Death" as performed by Brozman on "The Devil's Slide", right down to the faux spooky vocal). SNZ's are spirited, to be sure (if you ignore the fact that their lead singer has the charisma of a wet sock on stage) but they are so frankly derivative that it is hard to keep liking this recording after hearing more accomplished musicians tackle the same stuff with greater technique and fidelity to the period.

easily one of the best cds i've ever heard........2003-10-06

my first impression of the squirrel nut zippers, the Hot cd, was not an exciting one. i wasn't very into it, and ignored them for quite a while, until i finally heard some bits from this cd. i can't even begin to tell you how much i adore them now. katharine whalen has the most sensuous voice i've heard in years, and "wished for you" is such a gorgeous song that i can never just listen to it once. i always catch myself singing "good enough for granddad" and "you're driving me crazy". this cd is the best of both worlds- a few songs that really stand out, but overall, so well put together that you cannot skip a song. the lyrics are phenomenal, as are the musicians. if you're new to SNZ, i highly recommend you try this one first.

funky flashback.......2003-08-16

This CD is so muh fun to listen to. The lyrics are funky, the music is upbeat and you can tell they really have a great time creating their music. Unlike a lot of other modern swing bands, their creations are unique yet very authentic to the era from which they get their inspiration. I love squirrel nut zippers, but this is by far their best. I've owned it for 4 years, and I still play it as regularly as my newer CDs.

This CD is jus the hotest thing to hit the streets. Gotti kept it real on this CD. After hearing Gotti on this CD you will go and buy all his music. Just hearing the hit song was a thrill you will love this cd. YOu can play every track of this CD with out skipping one. To anyone with the bump in the trunk and you need some to wang. Get this CD. The bass alone will turn heads. The lyrics will just leave a mark in your head. Gotti is the best thing to come out of memphs in a long time as far as music.

This CD is banging in both English and Spanish.......2005-03-16

When a person can do something most others cannot, there is always those who will hate them. It seems incredible that an artist can flow in both languages with as much dexterity in both that people listening are going to say well it just diminishes both. Not so with this effort. The Spanish cd does outperform the English, but not by much simply because of the hooks. The Spanish hooks are based more on a melodic flow(Mil Horas) than a beat so the tunes are more enduring. This is my first Magic Juan cd, and whoa, he blows away most other reggaeton performers except Tego Calderon. Reggaeton is not simply Spanish rap with a West Indian drum beat. El General will tell you these flows were being done when rap and hip hop were not even thought of. Magic Juan has mastered that flow, and able to bring it to English. What is more amazing he does without sounding like a lousy calypso singer. I bought this cd set in January and play it almost daily as an anthem. The Spanish hooks are just incredible, I should know I was born in Panama where we been doing this stuff long before other forms of African flow hit the diaspora.

Lo Siento Juan..........2005-02-05

Magic Juan can be called the first real reggaeton artist. When I say that I mean he wasn't the first to EVER mix Latin n hip hop, but he was the first to put it on the map with Proyecto Uno, the group he was in prior. He put down flows in Espanol n English years before it became a fad, and thats exactly what reggaeton is to me. There are standout artists like "Mr. Whos This" Daddy Yankee and Tego Calderon, but for the most part its the same beat over and over and over! Magic Juan, is a "DomiYork"( Dominican in NY ) unlike most 'ton artists who either come from Puerto Rico or are of PR descent. I like the fact that he big ups "la gente Dominicano" as my family is Dominican, but on his double album debut here, he might as well be Mongolian. The first dics is in English and the second is Spanish, not a very original idea, neither is the music original or banging. I like Magic Juan's style but everything he puts down here is mediocre at best. He obviously is jumping on the reggaeton and "Latin craze" bandwagons, which makes no sense as he was one of the first to do it and do it well. A big step down here and there is only 1 or 2 tracks that bang, the song with Tony Touch is one of them. The production and hooks are just plain, if you like what reggaeton artists are doing these days then this is a winner. But on the flip this can't even be called reggaeton, its more a mix of merengue, R&B and hip hop...and not a very good mix at that. Juan can defintely flow in both tongues...but he is just to eager to get his props and probably rushed to get this out. I'm real disaapointed as I expected something real HOT from Juan, especially solo as he was the force behind Proyecto Uno. Honestly Juan should just forget the trend and do what what comes from the heart, if this is in fact from el corazon then he is just another "latin" artist to go the sellout road. Juan is more hip hop thena reggaeton, more merengue than salsa, and that is all good...but he should recruit some top dog producres, take his time and just KILL THE COMPETITION! If he comes back right I'll forgive him, but with N.O.R.E. dropping reggaeton albums( and he doesn't even speak Spanish, except for "que que!") it's doubtful I can see Magic Juan trying to one up the next man. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and wait to see what he got in store next outing. In the meantime this is just plain bad and I think he should go back to his roots and drop some flavor rhymes over some feverish perico ripiao riddims feel me?

I was dissapointed ..........2000-03-08

I must admit, I bought this CD because of everyone's reviews. When I finally got it, I was a bit dissapointed. Almost all the songs have the same beat. Dahil Sa Yo...they dragged it out a bit too much. Voice V however, is a great filipina group...much better to listen to. Makes you proud to be a filipina!

Impressive!.......1999-10-27

Good vocals. Good songs. A CD that I'm proud to have and would not hesitate to recommend to my friends (Filipino or otherwise). More power to Pinay! Can't wait for your next one!

PiNaY rEpPinG dA aZn fLaVoR.......1999-10-25

I lub the lyrics of their songs. They can really reflect a teenagers life. (At sum point) I lub the beat. A must have!

i'm bored-but i might as well be productive.......1999-09-28

pinay's debut album was very impressive for a you young group of filipina ladies (pinays if you will). the vocals are very strong-my favorite example, pinay's rendition of dahil sa iyo ("because of you"- a traditional tagalog), makes this song sound like an actual love song as opposed to hearing it sung by drunken uncles on the ol' karioke. slow cuts and dance tracks-what more do you need...but what is really impressive is that these ladies actually have brains. irma finished law school this past june-congrats (maybe we can take you somewhere other than Red Robins). what's up for the sequel?

of the best!.......1999-09-21

Really talented. Pretty voices. Worth your money, 15 good songs! R&B. I'm glad they put a lil Filipino flavor with that song, "Dahil Sa Iyo". Go ahead and get this CD!

Let's Hammond..........2000-06-13

The Hand Of The Inevitable bathes the crossroads in a particularly favorable light. Supplying the muscle behind Taylor's organ explorations is JTQ's musical core: guitarist David Taylor; John Willmott on sax and flute; bassist Gary Crocket; and drummer Neil Robinson.

Love Will Keep Us Together kicks off the collection, spurred by guest vocalist Alison Limerick's smoky soul crooning. Limerick returns on two other standouts, the supple groovefests "Good Thing" and "Stepping Into My Life."

Elsewhere, JTQ churns out horn-driven instrumentals ranging from the propulsive "3 Mile Island" to chewy funk cuts such as "Haitian Breakdown" and the album's title track. For a change of pace, JTQ flips the fuzz switch with a spaced-out cover of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love."
