iTunes Review

In the right era, Johnette Napolitano could have been a huge star. Her gutsy, gothic twists of phrase and her band's merciless attack made Concrete Blonde an important alternative rock band in the ‘80s and ‘90s. "Joey" is as close to a hit as the band ever came and its acoustic-backed mid-tempo had all the hallmarks of an even greater hit, but fate often runs its own course and CB were never able to capitalize and have had to settle for hardcore cult status. It lends a deeper creepiness to their material. The title track struts with a decadence that requires the proper shadows. "The Sky Is a Poisonous Garden" speeds up the passion and is even grittier and dirtier in its live bonus version here on this 20th-anniversary edition. Andy Prieboy's "Tomorrow Wendy" is given a most heartfelt treatment. "I Don't Need a Hero" uses the deep reverb popular in the era to make an even greater impact. This deluxe package even includes a cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" that's more than just a curiosity.

The Classics Never Die

One of the best from a very talented band. It's a shame they no longer release music. Concrete Blonde is definitely of the early 90's, LA sound. I can't believe it's been twenty years since its release. I remember listening to this in high school, Johnette Napolitano's voice carrying me off into my imagination. If you don't have this, add it to your collection.

The Vampires Rise in 2010

The remastering on this edition is pristine & the bonus tracks are excellent additions to one of the finest albums ever written & performed.

AMAZING!

I can't believe it's been 20 years. This album still holds up today as a great listen all the way through from start to finish.

Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s

Concrete Blonde grew out of the Los Angeles post-punk club circuit that produced bands like X, Wall of Voodoo, and the Go-Go's, but it wasn't until 1987 that the band even recorded its first album. The group was founded by singer/songwriter/bassist Johnette Napolitano and guitarist Jim Mankey, who initially called themselves Dream 6 and released an EP. Their insistence on complete artistic control was off-putting to the major labels who took notice, however, and it wasn't until 1987 that the group...
