I come to this album as a HUGE Perry Farrell fan – I love Jane’s Addiction, Porno for Pyros, his solo techno stuff, even Psi-Com isn’t bad. I got this album right when it was released and I couldn’t even listen through it once. I couldn’t believe how bad it was.
Today I learned why it’s so darn bad – Nuno Bettencourt is the lead guitarist! You know – that hacky schlockmeister behind Extreme and the insipid “More Than Words.” Once this is known, the unlistenability of this album makes perfect sense.
No matter how much you like Perry – stay away from this album!

i hope this marks the begining of a new avenue for perry …this sound could provide a rich texture much like janes did for all of us years ago . this a good cd more like 3 1/2 stars but not a 3 . not a waste of money . good house party tracks on here as well as some good stuff to add to your playlist . i would recommend it , great summer music….not angry like janes was …but that fit the time much like this does…

GET BAKED, GET IN A HAMMOCK & LISTEN TO “MILKY AVE” YOU’LL THANK ME. THIS MEANS YOU KELLEHER! P.S. DO I EVEN NEED TO MENTION THERE IS AN UNRELEASED JIM MORRISON SONG ON THE CD?

wow. I wasn’t too exposed to Jane’s addiction or Nuno’s stuff…so my fairly unbias opinion is that this is a really good party album!
The tunes are mostly groovy and definitely grow on you. Admittedly, the thought of Jim Morrison’s voice on a song sounded way weird to me, but I love that song! Ton’s of other guests too.
SP is a great live act also! I am super excited to see them several times over the next three months as they are on tour with a band (that I probably like even more :-X) called MINK. Mink is another electric live band that really is great party music, but with a little more rock edge than SP. Two great bands touring for three months, do yourself a favor and see them (Mink’s self titled debut comes out late August, don’t miss out).
Five stars for satellite party’s debut.

From start to finish….I love this CD! A good mix of rock, pop, techno/electronica and symphony. The highlights for me are Kinky (fun dance track very catchy beat w/ Peter Hook on bass), Hard Life Easy (w/ Flea and John Frusciante of RHCP), Milky Avenue, Woman In The Window (vocals by the late Jim Morrison).
