Unique: Believo! is the first album I listened to by Enon and it's still my favorite. Their unusual style with strange vocals, use of organs and sound effects makes for strange sounding music, but the melodies are excellent and very catchy. I listened to part of their newer CD High Society but wasn't as impressed. In it they sound more mainstream and seem to have lost some of their original style in the process. That's why I recommend this CD over High Society to anyone who is looking for great orignal tracks.
Outright Friggin' Amazing!!: I have to admit nothing has had me this hooked on one band since The Sea And Cake's "One Bedroom". There is nothing to not like about these guys! Albums chocked full of occasionally hysteria driven, braniac pandamonium, when not that always is a sweet diversion from classical thought in musical referencing. The perfect artist for the one who never knows what they want to hear!
High addiction factor: I can only add one thing to these fine reviews. Even with my mild annoyance that this album's lyrics kind of drift off the mark sometimes, to date I have had this CD back in my car CD player for the third LONG stint, and I expect I will be pulling it back out and loving it again and again for years to come. The sounds are strong and very fresh -- and to hear jazz and techno influences melded so excellently with dynamic live beats and the occasional grinding guitar -- all with a courageous commitment to the experimental -- set this recording way apart.
ENON ain't just a town in Ohio!: Believo! is one of the best albums I've purchased this year. A great mix of all different styles of music with sound effects thrown in, Believo! is wonderful from beginning to end. I look forward to Enon's next release.
Am I the only one who thinks this \ostinks\c?: Last semester at school I got a copy of Enon's High Society and thought it was wonderful. The band had a great, fresh sound and the lyrics were quite good. I decided to dig deeper into their discography and I came upon Believo. I haven't listened to it for a few months, and I thought I'd give it a spin while running errands this morning. WOW...it's terrible...just bad. I can't even describe it. I can't understand why people would find this tolerable or even enjoyable. Needless to say, I got great pleasure from smashing the cd into little bits when I got home. Don't waste your time with this...go buy some real music.
