Still their best and most challenging.......2007-07-06

Radiator is one of the most difficult great albums I've heard. In fact, the first time I listened to it, I wasn't sure I liked it at all. There aren't as many instantly satisfying songs here as there are on Rings Around the World or even Fuzzy Logic, but this one's even more admirable because of its startling dynamism in separating the oil and water differences between their grinding, avant-garde electro expressionist aesthetic and their classically influenced passion for a good pop tune.

It's easy to adore the gorgeous electronica-infused chamber pop melody of "Download," but try out the squealing fuss suspended just above the rhythm in "The Placid Casual." Then try out the multiple personality freak-out invention, "Bass Tuned to D.E.A.D." The end of "Mountain People" sounds like the band's tressed up in Devo-esque jumpsuits and firing lasers across the studio space. And they seem to take a detour through a Spaghetti Western in the middle section of "Demons." Album standout, "She's Got Spies," is a powerful blast of psychedelic pop as if delivered by raucous punks; kind of ironic that one of the more accessible songs is one of the best.

It takes an unnecessary trip through intentionally dissonant noise rock that feeds on vibrating and polarizing tones on "Hermann Loves Pauline." They even give us a minute-and-a-half throwaway in "Chupacabras" which may only seem listenable because it follows the aforementioned "Hermann." What ties the album together is the band's consistent willingness to embrace pop melodies even while leaping from one fuzzy, reverbed-out lily pad to the next. It just misses masterpiece status, but anyone who enjoyed their 2001 populist breakthrough should find plenty to like here, even if it requires patience and perspective.

Best cuts: "She's Got Spies," "Demons," "Down a Different River," "Download," "The Placid Casual," "Mountain People," "Bass Tuned to D.E.A.D." "Play It Cool," "Torra Fy Ngwallt Yn Hir," "The International Language of Screaming"

Dizzying, eclectic and inventive - their best.......2005-12-25

'Radiator' is surely the best Super Furry Animals album, startlingly consistent and sounding, really, like no one else. It is crammed full of highlights, in fact the first 8 tracks are almost perfect. There's the upbeat exuberance of 'The Placid Casual' (which actually sounds a little like recent live dance experimentalists The Go! Team); the skewed otherworldlyness of 'Demons', which is their take on epic balladry, all distant trumpets, keyboards and acoustic guitars; the slightly camp 'Play It Cool', which is The Beatles and Jackie Wilson transported to a distant future generation together; perhaps best of all, the techno-meets-indie monster that is 'Hermann Loves Pauline', which feature a stomping chorus that pre-empts Franz Ferdinand's 'Take Me Out'. There are other amazing tracks, and nothing that really spoils the bunch. Excellent stuff.

Rich Pop.......2005-09-20

'Radiator' is burst of sci fi inflected rich pop rock from Welsh band Super Furry Animals. Crammed full of sonic tricks and deep well polished guitars, drums and bass, its almost an overload of sound. It probably won't appeal to all, but if you're a fan of the Beach Boys (especially Brain Wilson) or other brit pop band like Supergrass you might want to give this album a spin.

The sound is as mentioned above something akin to Beach Boys circa Pet Sounds, only as played by the muppets. Most crucially 'Radiator' has the tunes to live up to that description. While certaintly not as great as 'Pet Sounds' tunes like 'The Internation Langauge Of Screaming, She's Got Spies and Down A Different River' a brilliant little songs that you'll find yourself humming along all the time after you first hear them. The standout track though is 'Demons' which opens with the brilliant line 'clarity just confuses me' and develops into a depressing pop ballad of exceeding brilliance that merges hypnotic key boards with mariachi horns and fuzzy guitar riffs in away you can't help but fall in love with.

You might not get all the reference to Wales and the UK, you certaintly won't hear all the sonic trickery thats going on the first time, but you'll find yourself captivated by this great little album time and time again.

Cosmic Riders.......2004-09-16

The Super Furry Animals have always been unique and although they haven't yet broken through to the mainstream they remain Britain's most important cult band.

1997's Radiator is the acme of their sound since it showcases all their different faces:the out and out pop of "Demons"(great song!),the punkish sections of "She's got Spies",the techno driven"Hermann Loves Pauline"(probably their best song ever),the freak rush of "Chupacabras"and the Welsh sung"Torra Fy Ngallt Yn Hir" all come together to form an album that despite being markedly different from track to track is definitely their own all the way through.

It's very rare to find a band with a trully original sound but the SFA are proud members of that elite.

Perhaps in a couple of years they become the best band on the planet but while that day doesn't arrive let's just treasure Britain's best kept secret.

Wonderful.......2004-04-27

This is one of the few albums that I listen to on almost a daily basis. I like that it starts slow, then builds into a blistering cresendo, and mellows out at the end. If Pink Floyd and The Beatles had a kid, then it would be SFA.

Best Super Furry album!.......2002-09-01

The SFA is one of my favorite bands and I have all of their cds, and I think Radiator is clearly their best. It is best to listen to it from beginning to the end, as one song flows into another. It is like an epic album and every song is good, especially when the cd is listen to as a whole. My favorite song is "She's Got Spies," which is a great pop song and my fav of all of the SFA songs. This cd is incredibly creative and unique. I think this album is easily one of the best in the past 20 years; it is that good!

Animal Crackers..........2002-07-07

ah, the whacky world of the Super Furries. I always wonder how Gruff gets his inspiration for lyrics, apart from the obvious huge intake of spliff. For example, here, on Radiator we have:

the story of the leader of a military coup in Sierra Leone
a fictional account of Einstein's parent's relationship
a meditation on Puerto Rican vampire "goat suckers"

I mean, this isn't exactly Bush, is it? the surprising thing is, for all the whackiness, usually the first sign of an artistically-null band, the SFA produce great, catchy, imaginative rock - you'll find yourself singing happily about Einstein in the shower. Maybe it's the more conventional tracks that stand out: Demons, Gruff sounding like Bowie, is a stand-out pop song, but the mad experimentation produces a truely unique sound : The International Language of Screaming, for example, involved a fair bit of screaming - and a good tune to boot. Meanwhile, SFA aren't afraid to thrown a bit of techno styling and the occasional fragile downbeat ballad, giving the album something of a rollercoaster feel. If they didn't throw off great rock-pop tunes with a startling regularity, you might call this album inconsistent, but it's simply refusing to be pinned down and it's a hell of a lot of fun. "Radiator" is The SFA gaining confidence in their approach beyond their excellent debut, though the follow up, "Guerilla" is where things really took off.

The best Super Furry Animals album, but . . . .......2005-07-25

I agree with the masses here that this is the best album yet by the Super Furry Animals, but the addendum to that statement is that there is no such thing as a bad Super Furry Animals album. I have yet to encounter a single album that hasn't warranted an extended stay on my CD player. This may be the best, but only marginally. Which is to say: if you only know this album, you have five more great albums to explore.

This album is all about melody. These guys are a genius for melody. Or melodies, since no song consists of just one. A typical song will consist of a main or melody with counter melodies juxtaposed to the main, with minor melodies weaving in and out of each cut. The album could be titled Battle of the Hook-Filled Melodies. And all of this is topped with great psychedelic effects of one sort or another, all undergirded with marvelously weird lyrics. I mean, just listen to "Chupacabras" (perhaps influenced by the famous X-FILES episode?) and tell me that is normal. Well, then there are lyrics that I simply can't penetrate, such as "Torra Fy Ngwallt Yn Hir," which I suppose to be in Gaelic. But luckily most of the songs are in a language I know.

If you scan the reviews here, everyone seems to have their own favorite cuts. My nominees include the wonderfully titled "The International Language of Screaming," "She's Got Spies," and "Play It Cool." My favorite cut on the album by far, however, is the wonderfully enigmatic "Demons."

In closing, I earnestly encourage anyone who hasn't explored the rest of the Furries discography to do so posthaste. Their worst album to date is nonetheless very, very good. I'm not sure what I would recommend next to this one. I'm very partial to RINGS AROUND THE WORLD, though objectively I might consider MWNG to be their second best album. But with these guys, they're all good.

Great.......2003-12-31

The first time I heard about this group was in Entertainment Weekly. It was a revioew for Phantom Power. I bought it and was drawn to their interesting lyrics. The next of their cds I bought was this one. I can't help but sing along to it while driving. To me, they sound like a mix between Pink Floyd and the Beatles.

They know how to make you think........2001-12-17

This early Super Furries classic contains some of their best-known and best-loved songs: the darkly riffing glam pop of 'Demons'; the ambitious and bittersweet 'She's got spies', in which verse, chorus and bridge seem to be three completely different tracks, a magical mystery tour around the 60s scrapyard; and, perhaps their masterpiece, 'Hermann and Pauline', with its aching tinny keyboard melody breaking through the bouncing declamatory pop. Then there's 'Download' ('There are people who think and people who don't/ and the people who don't are the ones who have most'), with its weird descending and ascending piano scales; and the wistful Gram Parsons country of 'Mountain People', with its Morricone Western-guitar/ethereal vocals break and sudden invasion by a thudding spacestomp.

'Radiator' is so full of melodic invention and instrumental colour (including banjos, trumpets, sax, flutes, harpsichords, violins), so full of pop spirit and avant-garde adventure, so full of joy and sadness and everything in between, it seems thuggish to suggest that, as a whole, the different moods and songs don't quite mesh or satisfy. Maybe they're not supposed to. With this material, who cares?

The second CD is a ragbag of B-sides, bonus tracks and non-album singles that is even more experimental and inspired.

One of the most totally enjoyable pop records of all time.......2001-08-03

Radiator is still the best album the Furries have produced. It has everything: strange obsessions - the chupacabras, Marie Curie and Vatentine Strasser; weird lyrical juxtapositions - Einstein and Che Guevara both suffered from asthma; diverse musical forms from glam-rock to techno that are somehow moulded together into a melodic but ever-changing form; anti-state politics; and moments of unexpected beauty. It seems almost wrong to pick out any tracks as being better than any of the others, but Play it Cool, She's Got Spies, Mountain People and Herman Loves Pauline are my favourites.

Despite the fact that there are certainly 'greater' albums around, none makes me feel happier or has givenme so much pleasure over a long period; if I was stranded on a desert island with only a solar-powered CD player and one CD, this would be the one I would choose - it's that good.

Welsh Madness.......2001-04-30

This is the best of the super furry animals albums. the choice of styles and ideas are simply amazing. at first it sounds like their least accessable album, but gradually it grows and grows on you, until u realise u love every song on the album. highlites include the beautiful intro Furryvision, Play it cool, and the epic amazing Mountain People.

Thank you Jonathan Gobeil!.......2004-04-27

A friend of mine bought me a Playstation game entitled 'Jarrett & Labonte Stock Car Racing'. The game was your average 32-bit stockcar racer, but one thing made this one stand out from the crowd; this game had a absoulte-killer soundtrack! Among tracks from 'The Offspring', 'Methods of Mayhem', and Lit, I heard the song 'I Am' from this band know as 'Radiator'. I was hooked the moment the song started. I quickly searched on cdnow.com for the album, but to my amazment, the cd costs like 40 bux new, and 35 bux used!! WTH??!! I hate import prices...

Anywho, I've only heard one song off this cd, but if the rest of the tracks are as good as the first, your in for a hard-rockin' treat!
