[.ca] Redhead

From Amazon.com:
It probably didn't take Bleu brainchild James McAuley III too much effort to entice reclusive Jellyfish frontman Andy Sturmer out of hiding to co-write and sing backup on "Could Be Worse," so potent are the hooks and cascading harmonies on his second full-length album. With Semisonic's Dan Wilson joining the Boston rocker on "Something's Gotta Give," Redhead is an all around power-pop treat with enthusiastic nods to AM radio mainstays like Badfinger and Supertramp, and warm, playful songs like "I Won't Go Hollywood" and "Could Be Worse." "Something Else," which also appears on the Spider Man soundtrack, is an obvious high point, but so is the surging ballad "We'll Do It All Again" and the hidden track "Dance Dance Baby Doll Dance." --Aidin Vaziri

yeah whats up with sayonara?:
I also loved sayonara great song especially the vocals

buy this album!:
from start to finish, redhead is one of the finest rock and roll albums i have ever encountered. i love each and every song, and though i have listened to it countless times, i never tire of its clever lyrics, unreal vocals, and e.l.o-esque appeal. if you get the chance to see bleu live you should. he's awesome!

Love it.:
Yes, as many of the reviewers mentioned, I did get a chance to see Bleu live, and very close to me. I had no idea so many people knew who he was. Anyway, I adore this album, and I bought it after seeing him live and have no idea who he was to him becoming a favorite band of mine. I love "Feet Don't Fail" so much, and other songs like "Searchin' for the Satellites" make this album awesome. I swear, this guy could really go for a record deal. With rock becoming warped, we need to warp it in a GOOD way. We need a new voice. Put Bleu on the radio!

Good Cd:
i just wanted to say that this is a great cd... i live in RI and i am friends with Bass guitarists Max's brother.. good cd for a little Tiverton boy.. keep it up

Bleu=Nearly Perfect Power Pop:
This record is just catchy-as-hell, the perfect combination of pop and rock, with plently of fuzzed-out guitars and gorgeous melodies. The guitar riffs are on the heavy side, but are balanced out by great vocals and harmonies. This record is just infectious. I think really anyone would like this, but it's especially a must for anyone who likes Fountains of Wayne, Semisonic, Nada Surf, or any other bands of their ilk. This record also takes the risk of adding the occaisional hair-metal harmonized lead guitar part (as they do on "Could Be Worse"), but it totally works. Really, just buy this record, this guy's got a great voice and superior songwriting skills and the result basically just rules.
