Shaving Peaches - Terrorvision

Terrorvision's fourth album Shaving Peaches was something of an odd album. It didn't go down well with long term fans and critics, but saw them score their highest chart single ('Tequila', no. 2) and then get dropped by label EMI! What a lot of people felt is that this album lacks the infectiously fun good-time rock of other Terrorvision albums. Personally, I think this is a rather harsh judgement; in my opinion How To Make Friends And Influence People is indeed a classic album, but no other Terrorvision album comes close to matching that - I don't think Regular Urban Survivors was that good an album either, although it had the odd hit (most ...  Read the complete review

This is the only Terrorvision I have (until I buy the new one), so I'm sure everyone will think that I'm not really qualified to review it.

The standout moments are the very amusing ‘Josephine’, ‘Hypnotized’ - most excellent riff, and the routine bashing strumming of ‘Day aftter Day’. ...  Read the complete review

This is great!!! The liner notes are...errm great...they resemble a errmm...fanny! But the songs are super thanks for asking - they are really catchy, and will have you humming for ages. The lyrics are so immaginative, they really make me laugh, this guy has some great immagination - i think he lives on a different planet, but i would love to go there. Buy it now! P.S. AS I'VE SAID BEFORE: Dont buy ROBBIE WILLIAMS MUSIC(what a load of sweaty nut scratch, what is wrong with these people...yes i speak my mind, if you are a robbie fan, please crwal into a corner and die)!!! Invest in something decent like this!!! ...  Read the complete review
