| Title: Cries From Space CD |
| Author: Reed Jackson |
The five costumed, pseudonym-laden goofballs from Volumen make cartoon-damaged rock for the sugared-up five year old in all of us. The band clearly knows how to rock as well - check out the metal-sheeted rave-up near the end of the opening track "Daddy's Other Finger". Problem is, these moments are married to a jaunty, inane style of pop-jazz and a dubious sense of humor, as evidenced in the following track, "Sexy Astronaut". It never sounds too unpleasant - and the production by Fucking Champ Tim Green is impeccable - but if Volumen don't take themselves at all seriously, why should we? If these jokesters buckle down and fly right, they might be capable of something truly moving, but until then Volumen's barely good for laffs. (Reed Jackson)
