Album Review

Powderfinger's Odyssey Number Five is a slightly off-base perspective into the world of mid-'90s American grunge and its conspicuous debt to Neil Young. The title track takes Placebo — sneers and all — and places them in a pair of stadium trousers; single "My Happiness" drowns a hip-hop-inspired guitar riff better than most bands of their stature.

Customer Reviews

Absolutely Fantastic

this album is incredible. i love every single song, but i think that like a dog is my favorite; but a close 2nd has to be these days. i wish that itunes would make fingerprints available to buy but this is an awesome album.

A true modern classic

Taking their name from the first album of another great Australian rock band, this record is everything you could dream of in an album. Featuring great songs that stand alone, the true beauty comes in listening to it in its entirety. The album soars and lifts, and then brings it down, and then does it all over again, like the great rock albums of the past. This is no ancient throwback, however. It is rock and pop done at its most modern. I first bought this album in Australia in 2000 and then lost it in 2001 and haven't been able to find it again until now. Yet it has never left me. That's how good it is.

A throwback to the era of great albums

I haven't heard another album that is, from beginning to end, as complete in its own voice as this in quite a while. "My Happiness" is the most pop friendly song, but others like "The Metre", "My Kind os Scene", and "Thrillology" have become some of my favories due to the great texture and changing tones. The album has a relaxed and slightly melancholy feel, but not opressingly so. Definitely worth checking out.
