Customer Reviews of I'm As Mad As Faust
One Great Album On the first day, God created the birds and the trees, and yadda yadda yadda for a week. And on the eighth day, he recorded the debut long-player by Zen Frisbee. And it was good.
I'm not one to do a good job at reviewing, but any album that contains a song about a Keanu Reeves movie ("Return to Point Break") has got to be at least half a classic. The inclusion of "Crazy Stephen" makes it a full classic.
A great CD from a band with a unique sound
This is a great CD. The samples available online here at the Amazon.com web page are a good indicator of the band's overall sound and the feel of this CD. "Dolphin" is a particularly great track that captures the skin-tingling quality of a Zen Frisbee live show. Track #6, "Lunch At Laird's," which is not available as a sample, is another great song which has a haunting melody and beautiful guitar work by Laird Dixon. If you like the Beatles "Revolveer," or the band Camper Van Beethoven, you might like Zen Frisbee.
A fine record from a criminally unheralded band.
During the heady days of the Chapel Hill, NC music scene in the early '90s, bands like Superchunk, Archers of Loaf and Ben Folds Five made their way out of the clubs on Franklin Street and into the national spotlight. Zen Frisbee was one of the bands to miss the glare of the music business' eye, and has gone relatively unnoticed even amongst the indie-rock intelligentsia (for proof, try finding the band in the Trouser Press Guide). What a shame. The Frisbee was (and is) perhaps the area's best live band, and this, their debut album, is one of the '90's most criminally overlooked albums. The band creates a mesmerizing blend of breazy songwriting, Fallesque controlled musical mayhem, countrified rave-ups, and searing funk that never falls for the cocky panderings of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Guitarist Laird Dixon (who also plays in the excellent instrumental combo Shark Quest) is one of the area's most inventive players and the lead singer (whose name escapes me, sorry!) is a dynamic performer and inspired vocalist. "Fraidy Cat" may be the best song released by any Triangle band, and "Clothes," "Crazy Stephen," and others follow a similar REM-inspired songwriting sensibility that is always wholly original. "Martha Don't Play in the Fire" moves with a steady fury--as fierce and wondrous an opener as can be found anywhere. "Cruising With Randy Travis" is simply a blast. A brilliant album indie-rock fans will cherish as a seceret treasure. It deserves to be so much more.
