Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Circa Mars Needs Guitars! (1985), these irrepressible Aussies were on the verge of big things. Despite solid success in America, we're still forced to view them as one of the great, lost rock & roll bands of our times. Their first release since 1991's Kinky is as tasty, melodic and pop-smart as ever. --Jeff Bateman --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Full Title - Best Uncensored Crank Calls Volume 2. Created by Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Corolla of 'The Man Show', Crank Yankers is a perverse Comedy Central show in which actual crank calls become the basis for a twisted town inhabited solely by puppets.

4 out of 5 stars Do you feel me? I feel you!.......2004-08-05

How is this CD different from the first Crank Yankers CD? This one features the theme song by Fountains of Wayne! Other than that, it is much the same as the first Crank Yankers CD. Funny crank phone calls! Hilarious characters like Hadassah Guberman, Niles Standish, Elmer Higgins, Spoonie Luv and Special Ed! If you are a fan of crank phone calls, you will dig this CD.

5 out of 5 stars ... Slapping Good Time.......2003-06-03

If the first cd couldn't be funnier, the second cd comes out twice as strong. Crank Yankers Vol. 2, def. makes its mark in the comedy world for sure. I just hope a DVD could come out of these as well to make this awesome collection complete.

5 out of 5 stars Funniest Thing Since Vol.1!.......2003-04-01

Shoulda Sent It Sooner!, Pee Delivery, And Hallmark Cards were my favorite tracks but this whole cd is funny. I thought this would be a toned down addition to volume 1 but this cd is a lot funnier than the first! Tracy Morgan is great with his Spoonie Luv "Don't change" "I feel you" funny as hell! I hurt my sides just laughing hysterically from the second track to the last with Florentine as Special Ed "I'm going to Hawaii yeahhhhhhh!"
A must have!

5 out of 5 stars awesome cd.......2002-11-22

i just bought this cd yesterday. personally i think it is better than some adam sandler stuff. as soon as i heard track 12 "Pee Delivery" i started laughing so hard i thought i was going to pass out. elmer is the best ever. and track 7 "Shoulda Sent It Sooner" is also very funny it is by the touch-tone terrorist. if you love crank yankers good prank calls and comedy i highly recommend this cd!

4 out of 5 stars Still good 8 years later.......2007-04-16

This album is still good 8 years after it was released.

Isn't all music emotional?

5 out of 5 stars This is where I make you buy this record...........2006-01-17

There isn't really much to say about this record mostly because it will render you speechless. There is really no point in giving a breakdown of each song as they are all attached to eachother. The songs flow together.... you will look at your player and wont believe that you are at the end of the album, mostly because it's almost as if the album is one song.

Never have I heard an album who's lyrics are just as powerful as the music. Have you ever had a song speak to you? This whole album speaks to you in a way that leaves people breathless. Not only that but women have had orgasms listening to this album. How many bands can do that with every song on an album? Ok, maybe that was a little overboard but seriously, a must have for any music lover.

5 out of 5 stars Please enter a title for your review.......2005-12-09

One of the first emo albums I bought, along with The Get Up Kids' Four Minute Mile, Rainer Maria's Past Worn Searching, and Appleseed Cast's The End Of The Ring Wars. Despite Chris Simpson's denial, Mineral was obviously influenced by Sunny Day Real Estate, but with this album it's like they took the foundation SDRE laid and built a palace on it. These songs with their fragile twinkly jangly harominc melodic guitar would all be ballads if it wasn't for the powerful drumming driving them forward. It's a really unique awesome effect, like Ida with a hardcore drummer. The intricately melodic dual guitar parts are as amazing as the best stuff by Superchunk, Swervedriver, The Jazz June or Hum. When they introduce the occasional distorted guitar parts with their subtle dissonance it's always very powerful.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing........2005-06-27

Truly, "EndSerenading" is an album that epitomizes everything that emo was originally intended to stand for, and while Mineral's soft atmospheres, sparkling choruses and vulnerable lyricism may make this record all too easy to label as such, they make it no less a masterpiece. The stripped-down production here creates an intimacy that has gone unmatched by nearly any release that I have heard since, and Chris Simpson's vocals, while unpolished, are effortlessly delivered and organic; melancholy howls at their loudest, and hardly more than whispers at their softest.

The album's true grace, however, is the poetry that underlies Simpson's delivery and makes it genuinely haunting. "ForIvadell" exemplifies this quality in its closing lamentations, "...but you are safe now and effortlessly breathing, where new weather will fall on you. Now your fears break like waves, foaming into themselves, disappearing into the sea." Similarly powerful material is abundant throughout the album, with other standout tracks being "Palisade," "ALetter," and "&Serenading."

A flawlessly-constructed effort, matched only in the genre by Jimmy Eat World's equally-stunning (and career-defining) "Clarity," in my opinion.

5 out of 5 stars Everyone will be left wanting more.......2005-04-18

And they won't get it. Unfortunately, Mineral broke up shortly after the release of this album. This is it folks, and we should be glad for what we do have. Luckily, they did live on in the forms of Gloria Record (Chris Simpson and Jeremy Gomez), Pop Unknown (Gabe Wiley), and Imbroco (Sdcott McCarver and Gabe Wiley). Definitely check out all those bands (and my reviews for them). Arlight, onto the album.

Basically what it comes down to is the simple, yet intricate, guitar work on this album makes it. It's amazing. There's nothing else that needs to be said about it.

But that doesn't help you.

"Lovelettertypewriter" opens the album, and is almost reminiscent of tuning guitars. Why would this ever sound good you're asking? Because we get Chris Simpson's beautiful, raw, vocals overtop. Bands don't write like this anymore, and thats sad, because it works, and it works well.

The transition into "Palisade" is unforgettable. It's definitely one of the stand out tracks also. The simple "start-stop" beginning really draws you in as a listener.

Each song could have it's own description, but it's not necessary. All that's necessary it that you do yourself a favor and purchase this album, if just for the song "unfinished" by itself.

Album Description

Bright Eyes and Neva Dinova, both from Omaha, are longtime friends and mutual fans. Both bands have supported each other for years - long before the overwhelming mass notoriety that has enveloped Bright Eyes. Talk of doing a joint release has been bouncing back and forth between them for what seems like eons - yet hectic schedules have continuously delayed the project. Finally, they found some time. Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst plays guitar and sings backup on the Neva Dinova songs, and Neva Dinova plays some music and sings backup on the Bright Eyes tunes. The result is a mystifying, infectiously melodic blend of the two bands' styles that will leave no fan dissatisfied. Recorded by Conor Oberst and Jake Bellows in July 2003 and mixed by Mike Mogus shortly thereafter, "One Jug of Wine"...also features members of The Faint, Cursive, Rilo Kiley and more!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A Great EP.......2007-01-11

It appears that this EP was designed to get Neva Denova some releases out there alongside Bright Eyes. Well, the Bright Eyes name got me to buy this, and its very good. Neva Denova is worthy of playing in tracks alongside of Bright Eyes tracks, and I enjoyed this EP very much.

5 out of 5 stars The best album I own........2006-12-04

While it's true Bright Eyes only performs two songs on the split, fans of Connor will find themselves easily falling in love with Neva's smooth, similarly meloncholy style. It is blues at it's bluest, capturing life at some pretty sad points. However, the rolling style in which they sing, just makes it so easy to learn the words and sing along. I emphasize that it is very sing-a-long accessible. Even though the content is sad, there's something about singing along that feels so...uplifting. It's a great album to listen to when you've got something on your shouders, cause singing along just lets you- put it down.

3 out of 5 stars Only two songs sung by Conor Oberst.......2006-03-23

I would assume that most people buying this album are Bright Eyes fans. Only two of the songs are sung by Oberst. Spring Cleaning is written by him but the other guy sings it. Black Comedy and I'll Be Your Friend are the only two he sings and they can be downloaded on Itunes for 99 cents a piece.

I repeat do not download Spring Cleaning if you wish to hear Oberst singing.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect.......2005-09-09

I've never listened to an EP as many times as I have this one. The thing that startled me most about it was that I liked the Neva Dinova songs more than the ones crooned by Oberst. As a fan of any band, I think you tend to gravitate to their songs more than any other, and I thought that would happen for this album. Not the case. It starts with Tripped, which may start to find it's way onto mix-tapes without you even realizing it, and ends with the last refrain of Spring Cleaning, guaranteed to be something you hum for the rest of the day. Some of the best work from both of these artists, and it sounds like they just worked so damn well together that it leaves you wishing for more colab work in the future.

5 out of 5 stars Omaha....Incredible.......2005-03-12

Oberst Oconnor is genious-declared. That is not without reason. Young age of course, and fantastic musical lyrical and "cross-genre" touch.. Bringing in his friends only shows that this world is so full of wonderfull musichians, and music! This EP is a seldom treasure!

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Speak for yourself, love!.......2004-08-08

This is the third volume of uncensored crank calls from the Crank Yankers TV show. How is this volume different from the first two volumes? This one is in stereo! This time around, the caller is in the left speaker and the person answering the phone is in the right speaker. Other than that, it's much the same as the other two CDs. Funny crank phone calls by hilarious characters like Special Ed, Hadassah Guberman, Elmer Higgins, Niles Standish, Dick Birchum and Gladys Murphy. If you are a fan of crank phone calls, you should enjoy this.

3 out of 5 stars Good, but not great.......2004-01-09

This C.D. is funny the first time on a couple of tracks, but then it is all boring

I would suggest not buying this because it is a one time only C.D.
But, it was O.K.

3 out of 5 stars Crank yankers rating.......2003-12-27

I think Crank yankers is absolutely hillarious. I give a lot of credit to the comics involved in the series. I think they are all talented. I do wish, however, that they would invent more episodes with the older guy, I think his name is Elmer. The best episodes are with him.

2 out of 5 stars Hang up these puppets..........2003-06-10

Not only are the crankers not nearly as funny as they were on the first two installments, but the people being cranked aren't either. What makes Volume 3 so boring and UNfunny is the fact that most of the people who are called sound so unammusingly annoyed, not really willing to participate on any level at all. The irrate people just sound bothered and the clueless people sound irritatingly stupid. Even the "puppets" have problems here, being more crass and ruder than is required to be effectively funny. Perfect examples are Bircham's humorless tirade while calling for employment and Jimmy Kimmel's bratty-sounding kids calling a bowling alley with the age old prank (think about it). I kind of felt sorry for the guy on the other end of the phone who was really too dumb to figue out what was going on with these two snots. So while the first two volumes are fun to be had by all, this one is a snoozer. And I do agree with the reviewer prior to me: This should have been a DVD of the skits on Vols 1 & 2.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD, wicked funny.......2003-05-04

you should definetly by this cd, this one is bettr then vol.1 and 2.This is a wicked good cd, they should come out with a crank yankers dvd.

1 out of 5 stars Huge waste of money.......2004-11-29

I can't believe I sat and watched the entire season for maybe 3-4 calls that were good.

1 out of 5 stars It would be a 5 but..........2004-10-09

I used to love the Crank Yankers... for about one episode. At the end of the episode I realized THEY'RE A POOR COPY OF THE JERKY BOYS!!! This is pretty good if you're addicted to prank calls, but I highly suggest that you buy the first two Jerky Boys albums as well and just compare the quality for yourself.

3 out of 5 stars By far the funniest out of the 3.......2004-08-29

This is the funniest album out of the 3 of them. From Niles Standish, to Bobby Fletcher, this CD will bring you joy. One of the best $20 I ever spent. A must have for any Crank Yankers fan. If you are not, you jusy have to take a little bit of time to get used to the humor. Once you are used to it, you will ike it.

4 out of 5 stars Come one, come all!.......2004-07-11

This is the first collection of real crank phone calls taken from the Crank Yankers television show. The TV show uses puppets to reenact the calls, but since crank calls are inherently an audio form of humor, you don't really need to see the puppets to get the joke. There are a lot of funny recuring characters on the show, and many of them are featured here. We have Gladys Murphy the black housewife, Birchum the crazy Vietnam vet, Spoonie Luv the playah, Cammie the stripper, Niles Standish the perverted British gentleman, Special Ed the retarded guy and others. This is funny stuff. If you enjoy crank phone calls, you should dig it.

5 out of 5 stars Great Yankers.......2004-02-24

The Muppets with a foul mouth . If you loved to do prank phone calls as a child , you'll love this CD . There's lovable characters like Special Ed , the retarded adult , Elmer , a funny old man and my favourite Spoonie Luv played by SNL veteran Tracey Morgan . I also recommend Volume 2&3.

4 out of 5 stars a long time between reviews.......2006-11-10

its been a while since this album was reviewed. i came across it while looking for the track 'hot rod lincoln' and discovering that les claypool did a cover. this is a cool album! there's only one or two songs i don't particularly like. i'm from australia so the whole nascar scene is a little alien to me but who doesn't like fast cars and heavy metal! coupled with the fact that i've only just recently seen 'talladega nights' it adds up to a fun experience! highlights for me are type o negatives 'highway star' and les claypools 'hot rod lincoln', naturally.

4 out of 5 stars pretty damn good.......2006-01-21

i hate nascar. i think its for inbred rednecks, but this cd is awesome. the gov't mule song with hetfield from metallica is amazing. slayer, and type o's covers were really good. even if you dont like whatchin hillbillies drive in cricles for 8 hours you should pick up this cd.

5 out of 5 stars Gets me goin' in the mornin'!!.......2003-11-28

With such monsters as Circles, (hed) pe, Dry Cell and Nonpoint carrying the album, this "Cranked" CD put out by NASCAR rox butt!!

Check it out if you're a fan of the track - or if you just like hard rock music of the day!!

KEEP ON RACIN'!!!!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Great Music Great Theme.......2003-09-07

This CD rocks, it includes the NASCAR on Fox theme song played at the start of every NASCAR Race (on Fox.) It has many fast songs to including rock remakes of Get Out Of My Dreams (Get Into My Car,) Cross Town Traffic, On The Road Again, and Born To Be Wild. And great songs like Circles, Cross the Line, and Drivin' Rain. This cd was recognized by EA Sports with Circles and Get Out Of My Dreams (Get Into My Car) were included on NASCAR Thunder 2003.

5 out of 5 stars CRANK this CD WAY UP!!!.......2002-06-11

This is most definitely a five star album. The energy never stops with hard sounds from a perfect mix of great rock bands. It's hard not to CRANK this CD up! Nonpoint's "Circles" and "See Through" by Staind are a couple of my favorite tracks on the album although it is one of the few CD's I own that I can play straight through. All of the bands are at their best on this compilation and any true hard rock/heavy metal fan (or fan of Nascar at that) will find this to be a killer addition to their collection.

5 out of 5 stars rockin' soundtrack..........2006-11-10

Loved the movie, loved the soundtrack even more. Hearing the songs i remember from the 80's put into a hard core movie like this was such a trip. Takes me back to the good old days. :)

The big bonus on the cd is actual clips from the movie before certain songs. Though the sticker on the cd told you about the snippets from the movie it still was so unexpected.

great job to the producers and everyone who put this great soundtrack together!

Mylon began his musical career as a child, part of the Southern Gospel group, The Singing LeFevres. At age 16 he wrote the song, "Without Him," a song that went on to be recorded by hundreds of artists. In 1970, Mylon wed his love of gospel with rock music, releasing one of the first Christian Rock albums ('Mylon,' often referred to as 'We Believe'). He released several other albums in the '70s that gradually strayed away from his Christian roots and featured very little spiritual content. The best known of these, 1973's 'On The Road To Freedom,' was recorded with Alvin Lee (Ten Years After) and featured English rock royalty of the time, including George Harrison, Steve Winwood, and Mick Fleetwood. Harrison's composition 'So Sad (No Love of His Own)' is one of the highlights of that album and features his "weeping" slide guitar along with Mylon's soft, soulful vocals. In 1982, after a dramatic recommitment to God, Mylon formed the band Broken Heart and released the album, 'Brand New Start.' Mylon and Broken Heart subsequently performed all over the world, playing to many enthusiastic crowds never before exposed to this type of music.

'Crank It Up' is a good effort with a big '80s sound (though it was released in 1990) and contains the fine non-secular ballad "Give It Away." Nine of the ten tracks were penned by LeFevre and bandmembers. Also included is a nice cover of James Taylor's "Shower the People." Although the album contains no earth-shattering music, there is not a bad song on 'Crank It Up.' - Christian Music Archive/Tim Griggs, AMG

5 out of 5 stars What a debut.......2002-10-15

The songwriting is honest and emotional yet never cloying or trite. A great album.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!!.......1998-10-18

Christine is an amazing artist, performer, and person. I listen to her CDs over and over. She understands women so deeply. You will be thrilled with her beautiful music.

5 out of 5 stars what more could you ask for?.......1998-10-05

A fabulous cd by a fabulous artist. Christine Kane's talent is unquestionable. "This Time Last Year" showcases her phenomenal voice and guitar. Touching, ligthearted, intense, sexy, and funny, this cd is sure to work its way into your stash of favorites!!!

5 out of 5 stars Amazing music, amazing lyrics.......1998-05-05

I honestly believe (and earnestly hope) that Christine Kane is an up-and-comer whose name everyone will know very soon. Her voice, her guitar playing (and that of fellow guitarist Richard Birt), her sheer ability to capture incredible emotion into every song, have caused reviewers to compare her to the Indigos, Shawn Colvin, and Mary Chapin Carpenter. And she's at least as talented as any of these. This album, though somewhat spartan in arrangement, features some truly great songs and while more orchestration would be fine, it's completely unneeded. They're songs you feel completely comfortable in from the first time your hear them, like your favorite chair. Ms. Kane's ability to understand human emotion and her capacity for what Tom Robbins calls "joy in spite of everything" make her albums indispensable for anyone even remotely interested in the best of the modern acoustic world.

2 out of 5 stars possibly the most Pretentious band in the world........2004-02-18

If you are familiar with the Buddyhead website, then you know what I'm talking about. These guys sound like a bunch of rich California e-dorks who think they're At the Drive-In. I'd lump them in with the Strokes before I would a good band like ATDI or Radiohead.

4 out of 5 stars Requires 3 listens........2004-02-17

I nearly threw this CD in the bin, and nearly threw that bin in another bin, when I first heard Mono. Two listens later and I was right into it, especially when I heard the singer whisper: "It gets better than this, I swear" at the end of one of the songs: that's gold.
So buy it and listen to it 3 times. If you still don't like it, it's time to get the bins out.

1 out of 5 stars How in the world did the cd gets 3 1/2 stars.......2003-12-16

This band is just awful.They opened for APC and there set didn't end soon enough.I have no idea how they were able to be the opening act.It was just awful.Save your money and APC new cd instead.

5 out of 5 stars I don't like A Perfect Circle...sorry.......2003-11-18

Well, this album may not be worth 5 stars, in fact it definitely is not. But is not squarely the fault of the band. They had certain time restriction 'issues' in the studio. However i award it 5 stars to make up for the unfortunate ignorance of other posters who shall not be named (no offence but you cannot judge the band and dismiss them so easily.
Now to the album, hardcore punk is not my genre of choice but my admiration for Refused, Fugazi and to a lesser extent the drug induced feedback glory that was Spacemen 3, endeared me to this adventurous band.
To be honest, upon first listen i was afraid of what i had landed myself in: face first into screaming concoction of guitar, drums and, well, screaming. Opener "Love is Happiness" and single "Feed a Cat to your Cobra," however provided a more immediate gateway into the less accessible tracks on this album. Highlights include "L.O.S.T" and "In Lieu" which combine the sonic blast of the Stooges with confronting, though in these dark modern times, highly relevant lyrics. In true punk fashion, The Icarus Line do not adere to simple verse-chorus-verse, but this is a good thing.
This review should serve as a warning that this album is very, very raw and if you don't noise, well just don't both...no listen for even below the noise and changing song directions, great song writing is on show.
Highly reccomended - even coming from the softest of hardcore fans.

1 out of 5 stars Waiting in line was more interesting..........2003-11-09

This band sounded terrible live, and I have no idea how they got to open for APC. The tampa show with them was a big laugh the guitar player was going nuts running around the place, stomping his foot as hard as he possibly could over and over again. Tshirts were thrown into the crowd and people dodged them, I would of left if I wasnt a big APC fan.
